Troubles with Trumbles
I have an "iron ass"; so heat shields are installed. In the vicinity of the sun with heat rising wildly, temperature guage warning of impending peril, the fertile trumbles showed no signs of distress!
Suddenly the external shields melted away followed by the rapid draining of the energy banks. No sign of trumble distress. Still drifting joyfully.
BAMMMM!!!! Explosion. The familiar Press space to continue message yellow before me with the sounds of happy, cooing trumbles in my ears. How distressing.
So, effectively, unless someone hands me some kind of radiation weapon I can use aboard my Cobra Mark III, I cannot eliminate these food-devouring buggers from my decks.
Awww, dang! They're at the wires! Why was I so stupid as to buy these... Arrgh.
From memory, when I did it that way I had the temp gauge flashing red, then about-faced and balanced up the temperature (back to red) then dived in and out like that until the little blighter cooked.
Don't get too close to the Sun! The nearer you are the quicker the gauge goes up. The cooking temperature for trumbles is when the bar is flashing. Much hotter than this and you'll burn up. Trumbles need a few seconds at cooking temperature before the start to get distressed and a few more seconds of being distress before they start kealing over. If your too close you burn up before they're done. Fly towards the sun on J jump. But stop every so often. Is your cabin temp going up (albeit slowly) ? If so stop there and wait. If not head in a bit nearer and check again. Once you find the sweet spot where you are still a fair way from the sun, but near enough to start heating up the hull slowly, get a cup of tea from the drinks dispenser and wait for the hull to gradually reach the flashing level. Because the rate of heating is slow you can keep it at killing heat for long enough to kill the trumbles without it getting so hot you cook yourself. You don't want to be as near as you would be for fuel scooping.

Thargoid is right, i just killed trumble, you need to be very carefull.. you watch when the Temp bar starts to rise... go back and forth, it takes about a couple of minuttes to proberly BBQ a trumble. the bar needs to be flashing red...

But why kill those cute little creatures till the last one? The nice part of trumbles it that there are always a few quite heat resistant. When they start to get a plague, kill the majority in the usual way and go on with the few survivors.
Maybe you even create your own strain of heat resistant trumbles this way. Some people will give good money for such trumbles. I think such trumbles will we good for cleaning jobs in the exhaust system during flight.

My daughter says: "Save the Trumbles, kill the whales."
Well. I'm sorry to cause such trumble... er, trouble, but in version 1.65 the flashing gauge was all the little blighters needed before they fell from their various positions into my open hamburger bun.
But the cooing in the dead of space... well, that was just insult to injury. Being more than I could stand I thought I'd post a bug report.
Now, if this is the "enhanced" or "new" technique on how to eliminate trumbles, that's fine... and forgive the pointless post.
Nothing to forgive matey, it was a good post. As far as cooking is concerned, I've found that a long slow burn, getting the kitchen as hot as you can take it without setting it on fire works!
The Grey Haired Commander has spoken!
OK so I'm a PC user - "you know whats scary? Out of billions of sperm I was the fastest"

I'll kill you!!!!!!!!! With worm keys! there will be blood! On my hands! Just like the time I killed my slave master! You will burn in Hell!
