    Cygnus x-1 and black holes in general

    ...black hole discovered. Which leads me to the general depiction of black holes in this game. They don't have a event horizon and or a accretion disk. The first black hole i ever visited was Maya. I never visited Sagittarius A* but i've seen videos of it. Doesn't look as great and menacing as...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    Update on this post. I have been through our list of named stars in the Orion complex and added details and names to them by summarising wiki entries. Mine's not as neatly presented as Emperor's list though, sorry! Note: A few in there have more than one possible, you'll see where that...

    Legs: will this make ED more RPG-esque?

    I would like at a minimum accretion discs. In general I want a bit more spectacle, a bit more oompf... In ED black holes are tame, perfectly safe, shiny, friendly things you would introduce to your parents on a Sunday afternoon. In reality they are supposed to be the most deadly and powerful...

    Seconded. I like special snowflakes. Also Carbon Stars, likewise. And a special mention for those overly massive T-Tauri stars and anything else in Systems of Mass-Level "H". Except black holes. Those are dull without proper accretion disk.

    Please make stars interesting.

    Accretion disk already many times discussed, just search for them https://forums.frontier.co.uk/search/33276/?q=Accretion+disk like here described: accretion disk looks realy nice, would also love them in game, but don't know if it ever happen in ED.

    Why are white dwarf exclusion zone much bigger than a neutron star zones?

    ...the fabric of space-time in such a way as an FSD should have little or no ability to operate under such conditions. If there is an accretion disk it gets worse as you will also have to deal with tremendous gamma and x-ray outbursts. Neutron stars will kill through massive magnetic field...

    Yeah high mass systems always attract me :) I agree Black Holes are a bit boring to look at (once you've seen a few) but the systems themselves tend to still be interesting.

    Black Hole 2019

    Off the top of my head, the best way to dynamically implement black hole accretion disks, given Stellar Forge and current stellar system mechanics, would be based off the mass of the black hole, the mass and volume of an orbiting gaseous type body (star, planet, cloud, or similar), and their...

    Would really love to see accretion disk

    Hello, of all the spaceporn that is still missing, I think accretion disk would be the most rewarding and "in your face" when you jump in a system... off course there should be something to scoop or mine in the feeder conduit. More space stuff that should be added imho: > comets = scoop the...

    Pre/mis-conceptions of how black holes look

    But how much of a black blob? Should there even be a black blob? A non-feeding black hole doesn’t have a sexy accretion disk that I can agree upon. but when you think of all the parallel beams of light from all around the spherical body, we have moved into not quite fully proven quantum...

    Will Fdev Update Black Holes In Game ?

    No it's not. The M87 black hole has an accretion disk and two plasma cones comming out. The Sag A black hole has an accretion disk too. Blurring an ED screenshot does not resemble the real thing, adding accretion disks in game would though. Nice try Mr. DB but no....

    Make Black Holes a more Dangerous encounter

    Real dangers/physics of a black hole: Ripped apart by tidal forces. Fried by radiation from the accretion disk or polar jets. And, if you survive those, trapped in time for years, decades, centuries or even millennia. So, I propose that, if players venture too close to a black hole, they are...

    Yet again, the Elite community proving its tendency to masochism. :sneaky: And a short memory for facts. Binary systems used to be bugged such that you could end up inside one of the stars, that's why we don't get put so close now. Being caught by surprise by a 'react now or you lose...

    That orange ring isn't an accretion disk, it's gravitational lensing of the energy from hot moving matter around the event horizon, probably only visible with radio telescopes anyway.

    Black holes.. yet another disappointment

    And that's how the black holes look like in Space Engine if you try various exposure settings... Saggitarius A* And that's how it looks when you get very close to it and turn around 180 degrees. Like a bottleneck. A little bit closer and everything is black. Well, good thing you don't have a...

    David Braben compares in-game Sagittarius A* image (modified) with today's M87 black hole image

    Revamped black hole designs

    ...primary bodies would certainly add some elements of both danger and educational beauty to the game. The light distortion of an accretion disk may raise the minimum hardware level to an unreasonably high baseline though, and a dangerous gameplay element shouldn't be affected by graphics settings.

    Astronomy / Space First photo of black hole recorded

    I'm guessing the image of Sagittarius A* won't look as dramatic, because we will be looking at the accretion disk from side on. Unless it has that halo like in Interstellar.

    David Braben compares in-game Sagittarius A* image (modified) with today's M87 black hole image

    Agreed. This is over a thousand years in the future, and the knowledge we have today of Sgr A* would be out of date by ~27,000 years in the local spacetime of the center of the galaxy! For all we know Sgr A* is active with an accretion disk from a cluster of infalling stars in that time period.

    David Braben compares in-game Sagittarius A* image (modified) with today's M87 black hole image

    Are you all sure that it's an accretion disk around the black hole? Nobody knows, SagA* hides behind dust, the bh in M87 is 55Mio lys away - 55.000.000.000 (!!!) lys! I like the Braben's comparsion.

    Anything hinted in Beyond Trailer that we haven't seen in Beta?

    Supernova or Accretion Disk would be the two most likely candidates. An accretion disk is a sort of slow motion supernova in reverse :D

    Will Fdev Update Black Holes In Game ?

    Lets be clear about the accretion disk I would like in game. It needs to be like the one in the movie 'Interstellar'. The ship gets close enough to the thing and the matter flow is amazing in that scene. That.
