Recognized Map screen needs a "star radiation sector"

[philthy mcnasty]

I recently took a lot of damage going too close to a star. I lost all my turrets. Normally i do not go near stars, but i was attacking pirate stations on the map, and it appears that one spawned too close to a star, or i stupidly wandered too close to the star.

As such, it would be useful all around to have a navigation option that shows the stars radiation fields, so that way we can avoid those sectors all together.

Agreed. Let's hit thirty agree ratings!

In all seriousness, though; This and heat shielding have been urgently needed ever since suns got more dangerous.

at least a warning or something. Like "hey you are 3 sectors away from horrible burning death" or turn these sectors red on the star map.

Personally I just want to see stations not spawn within the burn radius. :\

Tie it into system scans so you have to scan/explore to find the "burn radius."

This and make sure NPC Fleets don't chart paths through the burn radius or at least try to jump past it if able.

Yep scan for it and have it displayed on the map.

For the love of all that's awesome ... cant agree more. #AgreeWithAllTheThings

They made stars more dangerous, said more was coming to go with the more dangerous to counter/mitigate... and moved on to the HUGE faction update work... leaving no further comment on their plans to "fix" star damage... despite being SUPER vocal about all their plans for the faction updates. I'm very very happy about how they are in general, handling community engagement, yet kinda disappointed in how they are handling this star damage.

I guess I'm just a little put off by how Shine handled the star damage changes.

You get a star.

 

[philthy mcnasty]

Tag someone I guess? I can't remember anyone whose on the council though.

Criss works I guess.

Its especially annoying since different size stars, color stars, and binary stars all have different heat ranges. Between those three variables about the only way to know if you're going to be fried is to fly in and find out.

Not exactly a great system, that.

Well... Thadius Faran already did for starters. But to tag people just type

@NAME

I thought some sort of indicator was already planned. I also already know about this suggestion. I cannot simply wish it upon Schema though.

Read by Schine tag tho

It would be good to know if the indicator is definitely planned. And if it is planned and on a development schedule/timeline... just what is in front of it.
