Spooky system.

Greetings CMDR's.

I'm en-route to the galactic core, blazing my trail as you do. Like other CMDR's, I've had my share of near misses, including dropping out of hyperspace and immediately being pulled also out of super cruise by my proximity to a binary system, in the last case, it was a Neutron star next to a type M star. VERY scary to be 0.13ls from a mega-hot Neutron star, believe me..... but not half as scary as the following system I came across...

No central star... just a black hole surrounded by what I initially thought were lots more black holes but, upon scanning, they turned out to be mostly icey worlds but, all the planets were pitch black, yet, on the gas giants, the rings were still there to be seen. All very strange.

I've taken many screen grabs. Feel free to check out the Panther Owners Group 'facebook' page for more images. https://www.facebook.com/groups/394574140700862/430932320398377/?comment_id=430977293727213&notif_t=group_comment_reply

Hi ther Cmdr,

Yes, there are a lot of darkness on these systems, i came across 2 of them in my way to Sagittarius A, and it was pretty facinating, since the galactic backlight were lightning the empy space. great discovery!

Pretty crazy, it makes sense that all of the planets would be dark because there is no star. Still a bit mystified on how black holes have planets orbiting them, wouldn't that suggest that said planets survived the supernova that created the black hole in the first place?

I'm about 5k ly away from Sagittarius A currently. Its getting proper scary in here lol... I just hope I can make the return trip alive as I have so much exploration data to sell.

There is a theory where the stellar matter after the supernova could have condensed and formed a second planetary system. That theory is now confirmed from sightings of planetary system in neutron stars, white dwarf, and etc. Guess they can't count out black holes.

It's theorized that the largest of the blue giants will directly collapse into a black hole without first undergoing a supernova.

Last night I was 600k from Sag A*. I parked the asp with 96% heat by a star with fuelscoop bringing in about 110 and went to the galaxy map to plot the next jump. When I returned a minute or so later my canopy had burst and I had five minutes of air left with no repair option. So... now I have to start all over. I still don't know what happened but suspect there was a binary sun that was in rapid orbit and caught me unaware. I was careful to make sure there was no drift when I went to the galaxy map.

So, be careful out there!

I'm going to make a few changes and restart. Get a bigger fuel scoop, buy a repair module. Also, next time I won't be scanning until I get all the way out there and then on the return journey will begin.

Congrats to those who have made it and especially those who got back.

Not so sure its a bug... Besides, it was kinda interesting dropping out 0.22ls from a black hole in front of me lol.

It is a bug as it seems. Had this "feature" myself a few days ago, in a system with you average star and no unusual CB like black holes and such.

Also, never ever leave your computer or go into a different screen while fuel scooping unless you know exactly what you're doing! This will save you from losing weeks or months of exploration data, at worst.

Any chance you could put some of those images on here, (wrapped in spoiler tags of course, for the bandwidth challenged ;) )?

We're not all slaves to Facebook, you know :D
