Yarr!

I was thinking seeing as eve is sci-fi game why not through in a system with one of these?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_star

"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In astronomy, an iron star is a hypothetical type of star that could occur in the universe in 10^1500 years. The premise behind iron stars states that cold fusion occurring via quantum tunnelling would cause the light nuclei in ordinary matter to fuse into iron-56 nuclei. Fission and alpha-particle emission would then make heavy nuclei decay into iron, converting stellar-mass objects to cold spheres of iron.[1] The formation of these stars is only a possibility if the proton does not decay."

It would function like normal eve stars but there might be one of these in the whole universe.

what purpose would this serve?

I say add these in the expansion of w-space have them perform a system wide effect.

Really? Last sentence.

It has no purpose other than IT IS A STAR MADE OF IRON AND THAT IS COOL!

So... more dev resources on a thing that does nothing? Sounds like a plan.

If, on the other hand, there were a couple in w-space, and all planets in that system had extra PI advantages or something, that'd be pretty cool. Or if all the white-blue stars that blew up in Apocrypha were to collapse into these, with similar PI bonuses, that'd be cool too. That is it would be, if PI was also cool.

Would be interesting to see, but would add nothing of value to EVE... would extend the life of EVE by 15 minutes (and each expansion needs to add 6 months of life, or more.)
