    Whenever you go near a star in Starmade, you take damage, which makes sense due to the star's intense heat. In order to be unaffected by the heat, you must go behind natural objects, such as asteroids and planets. However, going near a star can be fatal if there are no natural objects within range of your position within the star system.
    My idea to counter this danger is heat shields. Heat shields would be able to protect the ship from the intense heat of a star, and in turn provide:
    1. Safe traveling across a star system
    2. Safe mining
    3. Safe warping, because you can't always predict how big a star will be when you warp.
