    I imagine it's common sense to not fly near a sun. One experience is all it should take to learn that. We have fleets being worked on right now and NPC stuff in our immediate future. It is indeed low on the priority list.
    It *is* common sense to not fly to close to the sun, and I would be (given our auto-navs are dumber than a modern day smartphone) more than happy to manually plot a course outside the damage radius ... the issue is you can't tell where "too close" is

    This'd probably be implemented in a number of ways, where scanning in a system would then highlight for you the safe zones, maybe in the map maybe in the HUD, maybe for everyone maybe just for you. We'll need to see what the tech provides. But there'll be some active way you identify the dangerous regions and then a way to know where they are.

    They arent going to add or do anything with the sun, they want you to use the new heat block when it comes out next year.

    Displaying the suns damage radius, and limiting jump drives from sun damage sectors makes sense but wont be added into the game for a long time
