I find it a bit insulting if you think this is anything how the development process works in Schine. Suns needed to properly damage ships. Before they might have broken some blocks, and it stopped if you were not moving or were inside the star. Makes no sense.
I really don't see the issue with avoiding suns for the time being. I personally never made it a point to approach a sun because I didn't want to get damaged at all. Now it is even more of a threat and as you say, there is a bit of logic and common sense to how you should handle that.
If you find that insulting or think I think that is how development actually works you need a sense of humour. :p (and maybe a little bit of sarcasm detection.)
But yes, that is sometimes the impression I get when I see some of the decisions made.
And yes it is common sense not to fly directly into a sun and navigate around them, they should be billions of years old deadly balls of flaming hydrogen death. But the explosive effect was waaaaaaaaay over the top. We can modify the suns to suit us, but I notice a lack of an option to turn the explosive effect off. Also we've all experienced the game glitching out and throwing us into a sun. Be it magic or a bugged jump drive. My concern is people quitting the game when they lose a large ship they worked months on in seconds because block counts and reasons beyond their control. The old system they might die, the ship might be damaged but they still might be able to salvage it.
In saying that, people want more dangerous suns, then fine, let them up the damage themselves. I would lower it but again, no option I can see to neuter the explosive effect which is what I have an issue with. Also fine you want explosive effect then make it work consistently across any ship size.
If a 500m frigates side blows out and it's turrets eject then a small ship should be a cinder in a second. It being the reverse is the common sense and logic missing part I mentioned.
I mean check out these videos, including the a not the players fault glitch into the sun in the 2nd video:
Honestly how does this make any sense having it like this?
Anyways this is why I and everyone else is paying to play test this game, well those of us who have bought the game. To provide feedback. My feedback is explosive effect and larger ships taking more damage is stupid.
