My attempts to sunskim without heat shields installed ended with the phrase "Press Space Commander" appearing on my display.
I encourage ship captains to install heat shielding on their ships before sunskimming.

I never saw the point to sunskimming, fuels aways cheap, and the sun is far out of the way (with farsun.oxp)

It CAN be done (without heat shields)... RARELY. I managed it a couple of times. Of course it isn't fun.
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT:
Buy Heat Shields.

there are situations, especially during some missions, when you can't get near the station (or other refuelling place) because of your damaged ship & the "special" forces deployed there to destroy it
