Hey man there's a lot of misconceptions about black holes, I'm just pointing it out. I don't remember what the movie said about accretion disk orbital speeds, but considering our ships can travel over 1000x the speed of light (in supercruise of course), speed probably isn't a big issue. In any case it doesn't matter because game objects don't have gravity.

and thats my problem with the lack of gravity in this game
at that speed he's on a decaying orbit (fka getting sucked in)
galaxy* ftfy. sag a* is a baby universally.
you can't see gamma radiation
agree about gravity and that it looks 2d. they should have hand crafted the system in the center....
Indeed. He would have to keep the correct speed and trajectory to enter a stable orbit. Also with the mass of a supermassive black hole he'd have to keep a faaaaaar away orbit, or be killed by the gravitational pull.

Nicely done commander. 
One would hope that black holes will have a moving accretion disk and be seen pulling matter off companion stars, or contact bianries that actually look teardrop shaped due to gravity. Atm, ED looks a tad bland in these areas but, nonetheless, exciting discoveries to say the least.

most used words on these forums:
Black, holes, don't, have, accretion, disks, feeding, binary, stars, teardrop, disappointing, please, why
They may well be, but try this for a bit of education instead of trolling:

Wouldn't that be more exciting to see?
As for a black hole, if one had a companion star, and it was close enough, material would be pulled into it. This matter would form an accretion disk around the black hole's spin. If there was no matter available then there would not be any accretion disk. Or so I heard. As someone said, there are a lot of misconceptions about black holes, but I like Kip Thorne's interpretation in Interstellar (as mentioned below).

OT i know but..
this 'game' does not obey the known laws of our universe - get over it - There's imagination, fun to be had made by its creator (FD) Use the OP's experience and suggest something positive that will make playing this game worthwhile.
If ED were real then it would be very boring to play and you'd be nearing death soon after leaving our itsy solar system let alone ariving at the centre of a galaxy!

Thanks. Actually, the further away from the Core I've travelled today, the better the connections have been, and also the stuttering and frame dropping have also significantly improved. I believe the problems may be due to the program's rendering of the Core and the Galaxy around me, in terms of the amount of information involved and processing required, and I have suggested this to the Devs in notes to the tickets I raised, so we'll see what they think.
As for the ship, yeah she's been very good to me this Gamma.
I'll remember her always.Well, it's this:b) I don't mean to be rude here, maybe pushy and tactless, but..... "Useless Reptile"???
I love those films.

Thankfully the Relativistic properties of supermassive black holes are not (yet?) implemented.
Specifically; if the OP spent some time within the more extreme "slopes" of that gravitic field, time dilation would be severe. He could well see the following server notice next time he tried to log in:

top kek 10/10 post
i'd laugh if he came back and the human race was destroyed by thargoids, and his game is actually sped up 600 years

Congrats! Very cool. Quite the trek you made.
Honestly, I'm a bit underwhelmed by the black hole itself.
Given how visually stunning a lot of things in this game are (planetary rings are breathtaking when you're in them), the BHs feel severely lacking by comparison. No accretion disc? Just a little generalized gravitational lensing? Almost feels unfinished.
Not trying to bring down the thread at all, I just think FD can do a little bit better with the BHs given where they set the bar on other astronomical bodies visually.

don't worry, any thread where black holes are mentioned somebody says it.
Grats mate, well done!
Impressive determination to do it in that time-span.
We have just got to EZ ORIONIS in the Orion Nebula so i can totally sympathize with the interdictions/ fuel scooping/ hull damage/ lack of stations etc...
C.
p.s. Apparently i went offline at 3:50 in the video lol
when you're in orion explore the blue stars inside the nebula, they're all 10-70k systems to explore
At this point they have to implement the FSD breakdown, because right now it's just an exploit making it this easy. Just like in Beta 2 when you couldn't be interdicted, this will be changing upon full release.
It needs to, because while that sight is cool, it's definitely still unfinished. They're working out the lensing and the physical object, but they're presently using a Schwarzchild black hole, without an accretion field (which isn't accurate, as no non-spinning black holes are theorized to exist). The accretion disk should look like a ring, and the actual black hole is an infinitesimally thin ring stretched out. The brilliant white light is actually where you don't want to fly, with one of these.
But modeling that is super difficult, and doing it was most likely an afterthought, because we've got so long to go before we reach Sag A* once the game is released. I highly doubt that they thought the spoiler was going to get revealed so soon. As such, they're pushed to improve things for when it actually does happen. All things in time, in some ways because of this reveal, they're going to have to step up their game (once they find the time, they've got bugs to work out still)
One thing Zion Ravescene did here was he pushed the game to its complete limit, and probably fed the developers some fantastic data about what happened along the way. It can help them hone their techniques for covering a large amount of systems, or make them switch all their systems to faster servers. So this ultimately will benefit the rest of the community.
