When you fly too close to a star, you get damaged, but NPC enemies don't, which makes things slightly unfair in certain cases. Not sure whether this is to be considered a suggestion or bug report, but NPC enemies should also get damaged by stars.

Hello HyperSoop, The NPCs are not getting solar damage by design. It could lead to players just leading the NPCs to the stars to win the fight without actually fighting. This won't change. It is not a bug. Regards, Lukas Tokar
