what does birthing a new star do?

Absolutely nothing. Probably.

I agree. I think it is just lore. Flavor text to enjoy finishing a quest.

You will, however, now have access to build the Star Seed, which I *think* protects your exosuit tech from breaking in a black hole.

An angel gets it wings if you do it...Dorothy gets back to Kansas, and the little match girl lives. Your choice...

I did notice something strange when I went through a black hole for the first time in a long time - only my ship's transporter was damaged. I thought it was from an update because it's been a few months since I last played it.

It's been that way for over a year now - anything that is neither stock nor in a tech slot can be affected. Conversely, a ship without the optional extras can pass through completely unscathed.

As far as I am aware the only thing the Star Seed adds is an extra health point.

Most of my non-stock things aren't in a tech slot. However, as I said, it was the first time I'd gone through a black hole in a long time. The last time I went through one was before NEXT, just to put it into perspective.

Yeah. NEXT broke the 'holes a little bit; for a few months it was possible to daisy-chain them without taking a hit, though sometimes they didn't work at all.

Fly towards the wibbly... listen to the crescendo in the background and... nothing.

When they finally reintroduced the mechanic, one could occasionally 'miss' the black hole and have something mysteriously break the next time you warped regardless.

Fun times.
