...are subject to revision in the interests of interesting gameplay. The humans of the game universe are unworried by relativistic time dilation, can fly hard straight at black holes and hand in the exploration data the same afternoon, etc. It's only really a problem if you choose to make it one.

So The third planet in this system has a very large ring and has a gas giant as a moon.

This is not about "realism" it is about a precedent that when not met would create an irritating contrast and disconnect, and about the destruction of immersion and the galaxy's believability. The biodiversity that current levels of procedural generation would be capable of creating is nowhere...

Well if you are looking for that black hole system it will be in your journals and a utility to list all the black holes in the journal means you will just need to check those ones, something like EDDiscovery will let you list you black hole systems easily.

...a fun image of an "angel" in the nebula (this is completely subjective, I admit - given how the nebula works, the number of O stars and black holes, you can make it do a lot of things). You can interpret a lot of things into angels, birds, or any other winged creature. Third, there is a sort...

Yes, a great system. You often find 3 black holes in a system, 4 is quite rare. But according to EDSM, the record is 7 in one system, in Wepooe AA-A h509. a more comprehensive page regarding records is the page of EDAstro.com

Black holes are delightfully weird (cool light bending effects) but a little underwhelming in Elite. We can get awfully close to them, I'm not convinced on the Schwarzschild radius calculations here. 🤨😅 Event Horizons seem to function the exact opposite to the way they do in nature, though I...

...around, the same happens to it as happens to everything else floating around out there, eventually turns into star stuff or sucked into black holes or crashes on planets like meteorites, a dead limpet is just the same as a small rock floating around out there, not worth bothering with and...

Fun related fact: Small trash floating around is becoming an increasingly serious problem around Earth. The stuff doesn't go away. It gets trapped in orbit, endlessly circling at crazy speeds. If you just leave it up there, it's more likely to keep orbiting forever than to actually fall. Very...

Yeah but black holes are harmless in Elite - you don't get spaghettified or wormholed, they are just a nuisance (or a visual wonder) in this game, probably less so with SCO drives now. I've never had to escape from a BH exclusion zone but I think SCOs would help there.

I am utterly convinced it is in the bubble, or close by. Ever since I read the foundation series a few years ago it just made me think it’s right under our noses. “Those with eyes to see” “We know where Raxxla is and why no one has found it” “A little bit obvious”

This as the first apch would preaty successful! It adds 2 birds and 2 SA animals at the same time and overall the pack screems "frontier" to me with the 2 ungulates and the "easy" to make models and not having a specific continent for this pack. I would buy this theoretical pack with out a...

...Tom Bacon Stardate 3311.206 – System Athaip HI-Z d1-3533, landed on 12 d I’ve been to the Great Annihilator. It was… interesting. Two black holes locked in their eternal dance. A neat trick of gravity, sure — but not quite the spectacle I’d been led to expect. In the end, it was just another...

The gravitational constant is a conspiracy, we want to see what's on the other side of a black whole! 🤡 Jokes aside, more details to Sagittarius A would be a great idea!

...here too. Never mind on-foot 3D, the basic game is much worse in VR than the original one. Not going into planet surfaces, hyperjumps, black holes and such, the very cockpit has enormous fault - the little scratches and stains on the glass are gone. Replaced with a glare in the corners...

...kinds. Comets that can be 'tailed' and studied by a scientific vessel. Old hulks in space ripe for EVA landing and exploration. Lethal black holes. Larger more colourful & realistic nebula to explore, losing instruments due to their output of weird stuff that affects the ship your in. As...

Yes black holes, you will see nothing when first jumping in to the system, so unless you already know it's a BH system by looking at the system details before jumping in it will just look like empty space......until that moment you realise you stuffed up because you didn't take immediate...

Will do, and thanks for the suggestion! Oh I have a whole list of quirks. Just tipping my toes in the water with this one. 🤭🤭 Although admittedly, I haven't yet encountered any ELWs and WWs around neutron stars. Hmm, perhaps terraformed worlds around white dwarfs... But yeah, it would certainly...

Sure, but it's like having an interest in Black Holes. Even if you know everything about them, you still know nothing. It’s not your fault or mine, but over the years, FDEV has taken unpredictable paths, usually leading to the worst solutions (e.g., Powerplay weapon nerfs, experimental effects...

I think you forgot to include the 2 most obvious, which are the Milky Way and Andromeda. The mother of galaxies could literally be either our home galaxy or the largest galaxy visible to us. The question is which is the jewel? For mythology I would think Cassiopeia and Hera are the most obvious...

As far as I know, you don't have to navigate a cluster of black holes to get to Hutton Orbital...

From a purely personal perspective, I don't find black holes to be very interesting in ED. Sure, I understand that they are only going to be visible either due to their lensing effects or by virtue of acquiring an accretion disk of some note. But, as someone who has had a deep lifelong...

...to see if there is a consistant presence. The next best place I think as stars cause such interference but nothing was said about black holes is one of our earlier (easter egg) red herrings is take a listen to the black holes over at Maia, unfortunately I have not had access in order to...

A while back i found a belt of around 25 Black Holes/Neutrons not far from Colonia, there's plenty out there left to be discovered. O7

You actually don't need the magnitude to change to triangulate the position, only the azimuth/direction. However, I agree that it is interesting especially since it is blocked by all bodies. Even if the signal was the same strength at all distances from it, you'd only need to vary your bearing...

...as wide, but the former is inside the Orion complex and the latter is on the way for two major touristic spots - HD 53041 (which has two black holes) and VY Canis Majoris (largest known star in the galaxy, with a solar radius of 1420). This means lots of traffic with people circumvent them at...

Sorry, I completely missed the sarcasm and I get your point. Interesting about the potential grind. I'm not following any 10 trillion page colonisation threads so I'm relying on what I see here. And you have to tell me where I can find those black holes.

Hi :) Tricky question. I'd say from personal experience you'd have to go about 1500Lys out from the outer edge of the bubble before undiscovered systems really show up. Some of these would be mostly part discovered systems, but you might see totally undiscovered systems, mainly those systems...

...ships, Eva, space hulks to salvage, new Aliens, elws like that other game, comets, real asteroid belts, diverse dangerous mining, lethal black holes, and waterworlds too, if every moon & planet could be landed on with their own unique atmospheres or lack of, If elite 😀 had the ability to...

...might find some very rare finds - for example, a landable planet passing through the dwarf's jet. Non Sequence Stars: neutron stars or black holes. You'll be using the former a lot, and if you run into the latter (sorry), then why not go there? It's really easy to avoid running out of fuel...

...systems and there is still a potato hunt for it, but I have a feeling that spectrogram isn't anything but just that. I do think that the black holes will become gateways, however. It is likely that FDEV will not make this a feature until some more time as it would kinda ruin galactic travel...

...distance and direction (hence the triangulation of the source was possible). It is blocked by stellar bodies to my knowledge, including black holes (which was surprising to me, actually). My personal investigation of anything related to it is basically on hold. I suspect what we see is...

Damn. There goes my theory of that it was something he didn't know :D

...Merope, and it's hard to talk about anything in Col 70 with any confidence. Sure, there is a black hole at Maia, but there are a LOT of black holes in the galaxy. Nobody has ever found any special ones, besides the SMBH in the middle, so not sure why Maia would be special here. Thargoids...

Not having interacted much with black holes I might have misunderstood something, but it is my understanding that black holes, while they look scary and confusing, are completely harmless. If I understand correctly, it's essentially impossible to have your ship damaged by a black hole. This...

I could not imagine those twitch games doing that, no. But ED isn't designed around that. It includes some elements of them, but the core principle and the core audience and the funded KS are all down the sim end of simcade. (inb4 yes I know the sim has big holes in it, that is why I said...

If you filter to show only "non-sequence stars", then it will show systems with neutron stars and black holes. Of course they are so sparse that it may still be hard to find them. You'll have to move around in the map until a dot appears.

Yeah, just one of those things where the Stellar forge sneezed while doing something. Black holes are near absolute zero in temperature, so can't really be that either (plus not looking like one).

...me some pretty icies to land on. ;) I paused last week, so nothing to report this time. On a side note, I also don't count anything I find in the occasional O, neutron or carbon star systems that I sometimes come across in the layer. Still have seen neither black holes nor Wolf Rayets in there.

...explorer, BUT (and i think im far enough away from the FC so my old AspEx cant hear), the Mandy is by far the best exploration ship ive ever flown. Im out scanning a chain of Black Holes i found a year ago, next month we are heading Solo back up to Arcadian Stream, i honestly cant wait. O7
