Our ships are Uber, our modules are not.

haha, good question though, we should melt like wax in a flame if we got closer than say, 5 light minutes away.

Internal vs external.

Not even once

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

Your shields actually work.

Warp to 0 isn't actually 0 km from the surface of a star, it's the closest you can come to stars without burning up.

Included in this figure is approximately a million KM to keep retards from flying into it.

apparently you have not felt the joy of bouncing off the sun, but that may be a decent explanation

and for you others, our shields take thermal damage also and one of the ammo types are nukes, somewhat less intense than the surface of a star

...y'know Mercury is inside 5 light minutes of Sol? Hell, Earth is only 8 minutes away. And what qualifies as a safe distance from a star totally depends on how big it is? Straight

I like to think that our ships and guns are just that much more powerful than any poxy star. Cool

EDIT: Wouldn't a star do mostly EM damage, anyway? What?

Actually I've bounced off stars before, but I consider them to be non-events in that since it could never actually happen, it's just a game flaw.

but the ammo that melts that ship isn't
see the problem?

Actually a nuke is much more intense than the surface of a star. (roughly 5500 degrees celsius for our sun)

Now, the core of a star...

Selecting warp to zero for a planet drops you quite a ways away from the surface. No reason to think the stars are different.

you cant warp to 0km, even if the option is called "warp to zero". You gotta do this manually.
