Am I the only one that keeps getting killed because I see a blue sun, think "oh, a dark sun, safe to fly over", take a ton of damage and get 1shotted? I guess it's not really a problem for new players, but for C1 people, blue sun = dark sun, red/orange/yellow/purple sun = hot sun.

yea I was like wtf? dark suns aren't supposed to damage! would love if it was like in C1

Not only do the blue suns do damage, they do wtf damage, like 95% of your shields gone in one pass over the sun in a fast ship.

I wanted the "blue" suns because I got out my old Astronomy text book and went through the whole main sequence of stars, and blue is a big part of it.

Maybe what we should do is make the dark suns more purplish or something?

You can edit them in /Content/Default/game_data/suns.xml, and find something that you think looks better for a "dark sun" and suggest it.

The damage done by suns is exactly the same code as in SS1, although I did make the suns a bit larger in SS2, so it will take a little longer to pass over them.

blue suns do not do damage in SS1.

The current C2 dark suns look great, they're not a problem. My issue is that the blue "hot" suns in C2 look like the dark suns in C1, which C1 players are used to flying over without taking damage. I suppose we'll all adjust to it eventually, just a bit annoying atm (I've been 1shotted by a random flyswatter several times for flying over a blue sun now, lol).

I don't think there's any problem with this. Dark suns and A/B-classes look very different in client 2. The only people being confused are those that have played client 1 for years, but even then a few hours of play will get you accustomed to the change.

How about changing all dark suns to the grafic of the one in Peril entrance?
