Read by Council Jump Drives - Highway to the Danger Zone!

Okay, but in all seriousness, would it be possible to have a mechanic in place to stop a jump drive from activating if the output point is inside of a star? Or give a warning that makes you click again to get it to activate?

I swear, forget pirates and other players, the biggest threat to my ships in all the universe is losing track of where I am during a mining trip and trying to jump back home just to land in the freaking sun...

As they say in France, "That's a big ten-four, good buddy." Great suggestion.

Alongside this (which I think is a good suggestion, to be sure), I think it would be pretty neat if the "danger zone" of each star could be displayed in the map, much the same way that asteroid belt sectors have an option to be highlighted. Such a zone is obviously sector-based, so it shouldn't be too hard to simply make those sectors visible.
