Earth like in black hole system

Found literally just now, as yet undiscovered. I did not think they existed... Its all dark, they are roughly 7000ls apart so shouldn't be long before its swallowed :p

I do now feel somehow like I've achieved my lifes ambition and exploration is now meaningless. I am questioning it all.. More coffee is the answer.

Edit: Planet 5 is also a water world, such a great system :)

Interesting find.

Limited life expectancy for that Earth-like. Would you want to setup home in a system with black hole :/

That's amazing!
Brings to mind that episode of Stargate sg1 where they accidentally connect to a black hole's event horizon and there's all that funky stuff with time dilation. Neat series.

Or more like "Miller" in Interstellar (Earth-like with huge waves).

That is truly a unique find Alex. I've not heard of an ELW in a black hole system before.
Well done!

Great find commander!

Perhaps fuel rats could ferry you out a chocolate biscuit, also helpful against existential crisis?

(lol) .. and so repped (to give your life meaning again)

Vampire's paradise, don't tell them. :D

Edit: oh just noticed the star now, that's maybe not to their likening then.

I've discovered at least one like that - not sur eif I started taking notes yet at that stage, may have to have a look...

Why so?

If the orbit's stable (and judging by the system map, the ELW is orbiting a main sequence star), there's not much to worry about for millions of years. Worrisome times were back when the star hadn't gone supernova yet. :)

Just to add to the comments here both sides of the ELW looked like this. I am actually on the star side so I don't know if thats a bug or if the black hole is sucking all the stars light into it...

Great thought! Bet there is a stargate on that system and a colonel frozen there :D

I've also found a terraformable WW orbiting a neutron star, and only a neutron star. Like, there were no other star in that system. Weird. I wonder how realistic/possible that is all things considered.

Earth-sized planets are known to exist around some of them (in fact, planets around neutron stars where the very first ones to be discovered). A neutron star gives off light and heat (actually a lot), so that's covered. So, depending on the distance, the climatic conditions could be favourable. Highly energetic radiation (x-rays and gamma rays) could be a problem, but it seems that not every neutron star emits these. And neutron stars usually are very long-lived energy sources, so there might be enough time to develop life (if it's safe from the radiation, that is).

I think this is probably a stupid question, and you thought of it... but you didn't approach from the night side did you? I've made that mistake before...

Yeah, check the Water world I posted in comment 12, that shows both sides, you can check the nav ball on the HUD. Its all dark...

Also sorry for anyone in that area thats farming Neutrons and black holes. I've been hopping from one black hole to another and probably have about 100 now as I head towards Sag A* :D

Obviously a bug with the lighting effects. The WW should still be getting the light from the M (K?) star it is orbiting as normal - a black hole doesn't dim other light sources!

Unfortunately the engine only renders each planet with one star's light source. I used to think it was based on the brightest but I guess I was wrong lol

It's a shame in general as it precludes some amazing potential effects like planets being lit on both sides
