Does The Sun Get Tired?

[mjclark]

Does the sun become fatigued from being shot? In other words, if I shoot the sun, move away from it for a while then return and shoot it some more, will it implode more quickly than if it hadn't experienced the first wave of shots. Or does the sun recover completely when not being shot?
Also, when my ship's been hit and I'm bouncing off objects going for the sheepie save, do I score for the objects I bounce off with my dying craft or do I get no score for them but just lots of gratitude for their assistance?
Also, I am a 42 year old man and Gridrunner Revolution is undoubtedly giving me more enjoyment than any other PC game I've ever played (apart,possibly, from Trackmania Sunrise but that was long ago) so thanks

The sun will recover if not shot continually.

Also, IIRC, informed wisdom seems to be that not getting killed is the best way to score (as being killed breaks your bullet streams and thus your Boost multiplier). You get score for bouncing around, but not as much score as staying alive and keeping your Boost going.

Thanks for a nice clear answer I also just realised that today is the Summer Solstice when the sun rests awhile in the sky so this thread title is right on the money!
