Oh I do so hate conflict checking mullets and suns.

I'm not going to bother with this one, but instead quote you a few
precedents:

"...We give no CD between a compass star and a sun..." [John the Wanderer,
05/04, R-Caid]
"...none for type between a mullet of four points and a compass star..."
[Oertha, Principality of, 05/04, A-Trimaris]
"There is no type difference between the compass stars and the mullets of
six points. Because of the unusual (and non-period) design of compass stars,
with their four greater and four lesser points, they are considered as
variants of both mullets of four points and mullets of eight points. There
is no type difference between mullets of six points and mullets of eight
points and, hence, no difference between mullets of six points and compass
stars." [Brian Sigfridsson von Niedersachsen, 07/03,R-Atenveldt]
[mullets vs. compass stars] ... a second CD between the default mullets of
five points and compass stars. RfS "X.4.e states that "A charge not used in
period armory will be considered different in type if its shape in normal
depiction is significantly different." Compass stars are not used in period
armory and thus must be compared with mullets of five points on visual
grounds. They have sufficient visual difference to be given a CD." [Asad de
Barcelona, 10/03, A-Æthelmearc]
"We give no type difference for the change between mullets of eight points
and compass stars." [Rixa Eriksdottir, 05/02, R-Meridies]
"... there is no difference between a compass star and a riven star per the
LoAR of April 2001." [Iamys of Loch Cairn, 01/02, R-Meridies]


There, that should be enough. ;)
