Camera ship

Without hitbox (as pretty much like everything around here), someone would find a way to abuse it, for example slot-saving inside of planet. No hitbox = planet's atmosphere can't harm you.

Acutally, the way planet and sun deaths work is by "death zones" rather than collision detection. Your example is incorrect, as both planets and suns and torpedoes would still be capable of damaging a hitboxless ship.
They all do damage based on proximity of the event center to the ships HPhardpoint rather than the exterior hitbox.
EDIT: That is actually why torpedoes only work sporadically on large targets, especially shielded ones, since they explode at the hitbox but do damage at the hp hardpoint, which on some ships are either offset or out of range from the front/back.
