Reaching Zero velocity in orbit of sun breaks the game

[Chandler]

I started the game, selected minimal graphics options and the earth only system, (others just crashed the game) and did an escape burn retrograde to the sun, then once i escaped burned retrograde until my game broke (see screenshot). I have repeated this a couple times. First time it sent the ship out into deep space, proceeding attempts seem to have teleported me to the center of the sun.

Sorry if this is light on information but there really isn't much else to add. Thank you for all the work you're doing.

An "Escape burn retrograde" is inherently impossible. To get escape velocity, you have to burn prograde.

What Happened​

[Describe what occurred]

In interplanetary space I cancelled lateral velocity to *high precision* and instead of falling straight into the Sun the game crashed/window suddenly closed. Tried again, happened again.

Tried again (maybe within Earths SOI), I was flung far from the Solar system. Could still see the ends of escape trajectories of various bodies.

What Was Expected
[Describe what you thought should have happened]
Fall into the Sun.
