Probably not very interesting. Depsite being so massive, it's probably not that dense and at worst, IIRC, would be like flying through a thin dust cloud (assuming space was lit up movie style so you could see stuff in the first place sans nebula in the way)Einhander Sn0m4n wrote:I wonder what it would be like to fly a starship through that?
