I am a bit confused on the rule "each possible path between an asteroid and a cell occupied by the space ship ... has to be interrupted by a star"
As I understand it, I have to shield the ship from every possible angle. Once I do that in R4C6 and R4C8 to shield it from the asteroid in R3C7, I cannot protect the ship from R2C5 as R3C6 and R4C7 are open to hit R5C8.
Unless I misunderstand "asteroids can move diagonally downwards", and zigzagging is not possible.

I think you understood the given rules correctly, but missed the last sentence, that "stars may be placed directly on the ship to shield it". So a star placed on top of the thermo shields that cell of the spaceship from every possible direction.

I don't know how many times I read that and somehow did not register what it said. That cleared everything up and I was on my way, thanks! Fun series so far. Love star battles so this tickles my fancy.

I think I need some practice on nabner lines because I struggled to get this one finished up. Good puzzle! Looking forward to more from you.

I have a question on the wording - “a star with a higher digit than all asteroids, that can reach that position combined.” Does “combined” mean the star’s digit needs to be higher than the sum of the asteroids that can reach it, if there is more than one?

Yes, the star's digit has to be higher than the sum of all asteroids, thanks for noticing, I will reword the rules.
