Yip could even add features like heat build up etc limiting time around stars with aomolies worth fighting over within the vasinity of the stars, certainly would give you a reason to go there other than warping out of a battle, and even then that would come with its own new dynamic risks.

just a thought :)

Say you went to Pluto, would the stars be noticeably any bigger? it's unlikely.


Edit:

Ok, you're talking about the one/ones in the solar system.

No, because I was initially thinking of stars that you see in the background.

For clarity, we should be talking about "suns," as in the central star(s) that the planets in a solar system orbit.

So, OP, you should rename thread to updating "suns" to avoid confusion

Also, I LOVE the idea of system "Zones" that have specific effects. Get into the gravity well of a star or large planet and your velocity is affected, get to close to a "red" or "yellow" star and your heat goes up and thermal damage resistance goes down. Get too close to a "pulsar" (or other some such celestial object) and your EM resistance gets messed up and targets are randomly dropped.

This would make a great addition to the Sov-node battles, and keep everyone on their toes. Very fun idea

I disagree, stars is a more accurate designation and I think the issue is that people need to learn that our sun is one of those stars. The problem isn't that the OP failed to designate near stars differently from far stars, but rather that everyone else does. They aren't different, they aren't even functionally different simply due to you being more than a certain distance away from them. Calling them suns when you're near them is an autocentric viewpoint.
