    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    When I first got into this quest, the first thing I felt would be cool would be either a nebula; dark nebula or black holes regarding Raxxla. But I’ve come to the assumption it’s very likely bubble based. There’s a vid of the Devs during a particular live stream (still can’t find it) where one...

    ...and various star clusters, nebulae, and voids. While Stephen Hawking's name is honored in science (e.g., Hawking radiation related to black holes), no specific region of our galaxy bears his name as a "gap" or otherwise in official astronomical catalogs. Any "gaps" in the Milky Way, such as...

    What's the Brand New Feature for ED in 2024?

    Perhaps they could combine portions of the ring models and effects with the jets of white dwarfs and add accretion discs to black holes. They could even do it quietly so we could have the fun of discovering them for ourselves.

    Open-Only in PP2.0?

    Given complaints about losing NPC crew, and knowing that Frontier could observe how many / few players used them, it came as no real surprise that NPC crew were made immortal. Noting that ignoring them completely can lead to pointless discussion, also noting that one player's "improvement" is...

    Black Holes are inverted compared to reality

    Black holes in the game kill players by frying them to death. This would be a result of Hawking Radiation. However, the temperature of the radiation should be inverse to the mass. In other words, we should be able to cosy up to Sag A* without breaking a sweat, but meeting a small low mass...

    Finding a greater purpose with exploration

    ...as the galaxy in elite doesn't have burnt out hulks floating in space, or rogue planets or strange phenomena like magnatars or dangerous black holes. Neutron stars (pulsars) are dangerous so why can't black holes be? Do think fdev need to flesh out the galaxial content a bit. Strange lagrange...

    System Colonization: Pessimistic View

    ...enemies waiting for the scarce materials, and all the other wares that didn't get used just got deleted. This meant new stations were something like black holes that just endlessly consumed huge amounts of material until it was fixed by allowing the delivered materials to be resold upon failure.

    ...and getting more heat, and for landable planets you begin the descent glide (assuming you did this at the correct angle of attack). For black holes, this is still whatever distance it happens to be from the middle, which is whatever you see as the target. You don't get to see your "altitude"...

    Very unusual and interesting systems

    ...a bit... I would nominate Mynoaw AA-A h26 as one of the most unusual and interesting systems in the galaxy. Not only does it have four black holes (which I think is the record), but it also has a white dwarf and a neutron star, besides a bunch of other stars. Not only that, but the neutron...

    General Materials amount at High Grade Emissions in the upcoming update - it broke everything!

    ...of the posts. Not everyone will agree with the outcome, but like the C&P changes in 2018 or changes to things like the danger levels of black holes, they've acted on the feedback given. Personally I'd have liked it if FDev added scenarios that involved having to do some kind of difficult...

    Yeah that's true, they are just annoying, unless of course you accidentally try to SC through a BH exclusion zone, but really I think it's time they made BH's dangerous, they did it with Neutron Stars and White Dwarfs, adding some environmental danger to BH's is the least they could do.

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    Yes, I know PIRFTL is there. But it's worth exploring. When I reach the bottom of the galaxy in this sector, I will start exploring the OOCHORRS systems below COL 70. And I will explore on a straight line of the Crab Nebula towards CUBEO (+-1000LY to Cubeo).

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    ...are some features that would make an image - however I visited most of this nebula so far. There may be some trickery involved with the black holes to make this actually work which makes it even more difficult to get everything in exact right arrangement because if that's the case, it's not...

    It's not exploration, it's tourism

    I was just in a system that has four black holes, a white dwarf, and a ringed neutron star (besides a bunch of other more common stars). When I dropped onto the ring close to the neutron star, the ring was rotating so fast that the starry background was rotating in real time. Some time in the...

Also fleshing out black holes as dangerous, nebulae screwing up the ships innards, debris collisions, fleshed out planetary landings on waterworlds elws, etc. List is endless.. I...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    I have done it from Sgr A* but sadly there's no changes. It's a good idea that I wish worked :) I've no idea if other black holes may get different results though.

    What one enhancement do you think would bring the most players back to the game, and stay?

    ...that simply could not land without a huge glide angle hehe. And other ships designed specifically to land in such circumstances. Lethal black holes would be good too. As would comets, less dense asteroid fields (more realistic), and a damage/repairs aspect whilst in space. Which would in...

    Next Gen Elite Game

    Getting back to Op. I'd like to see more content in the galaxy itself. Planetary landings with SC like atmospheres on elws. Lethal black holes. More Stella phenomena. Comets. Rogue planets & asteroids. A more realistic planetary landing loop. Quasars pulsars etc. (Dunno if current interation of...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    ...more to be found, based on the blue light. It seems that it only works based on angle from Horsehead Dark, and a distance in Light years. Too far, or too close, and it doesn't work. There are not that many black holes between Mintaka and Barnard's Loop, so it makes experimentation pretty easy.

At least, if they’re not gonna...

    Powerplay - change my mind.

    Thank you all for your comments. That you can avoid 90% of the downsides in Solo is indeed a fact - but I have to admit I really don't like that mode. Oddly enough, I tend to use it out in the black where there won't be any other CMDRs around to instance with anyway so I set solo mode to avoid...

    If you intend to colonize a system - why? And which aspect of a colonized system most interests you?

    ...when you can just do it much more hassle-free. … and I just thought of the hazards posed by the presence of many more neutron stars and black holes as well. Gamma rays are a thing, or if a stray (dead) star happens to get in the vicinity of your colony… bad things may happen. I don’t really...

    DLC20 Discussion (maybe, but why not?)

    Totally Agree. Its curious how Frontier manages their representation about the continents. The worst part about it is that, since we already had an America-Centred DLC recently, we'll have to wait a while for them to return to that continent again. About Asia, yeah, that's what I was talking...
