    The game isn't the same anymore.

    What do you mean by that? Around black holes? Black holes having humongous enormously bright stunning accretion disks is an extremely widespread common misconception, no doubt boosted significantly by the movie Interstellar. Every single time you see "black holes" discussed eg. in a YouTube...

    black hole accretion disk visulization update

    ...seen black hole/main sequence binaries in-game orbiting so closely that I've wondered how it's possible they're not feeding. Alas, an accretion disk means plasma accelerated to relativistic speeds which means making them an actual hazard... which by all indications FDev is reluctant to do for...

    i would like to see an occasional feeding black hole woudnt you?

    The game isn't the same anymore.

    Based on all the X-ray screaming coming from the great annihilator, one must assume there is, in fact, an accretation disc located there.

    The game isn't the same anymore.

    In an excellent case of "you're both right," there is an accretion disk, it screams in X-ray, and does NOT scream in visible, so eyeball Mk1 finds it quite a difficult object (assuming you are viewing it through something that filters X and gamma but passes visible in the first place...

    black hole accretion disk visulization update

    ...for X-Ray binaries, or rarely on their own. I dont think they can retroactively update Stellar Forge to turn cold planets warm near an accretion disk sadly, so the other condition would be rarely if a black hole has nothing in close orbit to it it may spawn with a dim one. I'd also like to...

    ...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.

    General Very boring black holes

    Frontiers, pleeeeease add an accretion disk to large black holes, you can set it up so that when the ship enters it, it would immediately be destroyed, it would look much more epic than we have now, I would like to shoot a parody of interstellar with python and Sagitarius A

    General Exploration SRV death penalties are oppressive

    OK, poor choice of word by me. By "routine" I meant constantly present danger which you can't avoid. Like that accretion disc, but not like crashing into a planet, which you can avoid by taking care.

    Accretion disks

    My suggestion is to add accretion disks to some black holes (leave some black holes without). The elite already have a ring generation model. In this game there are rings of tens of millions of kilometers. And there are also huge luminous stars. It turns out that we already have huge wide rings...

    UFO

    ...For Sag A*, the images we get from NASA show only a faint glow. This means that there is probably not much of an accretion disk and the total amount of mass in the disk is less than even the mass of a star (so basically only gas and maybe some asteroids). Chandra X-ray Observatory detected...

    Sag A* does have an accretion disk, but it is extremely faint, and can only be detected (with current telescopes) in the X-rays. Other black holes in our galaxy won't have them.

    I see how a lone star collapsing into a black hole might not get an accretion disk (or quickly consume the one that it might get from its own former gasses). However, there are many binary star systems where one of the stars collapses and the other is close enough to start "feeding" it gasses...

    -Accretion disks are much rarer than you think. It's a mass transfer and the Schwarzschild black holes (the ones you can find in the game) need to rotate close enough to its donor star. If the black hole sits alone it is system, then there is no mass transfer either way. And around 1% of...

    T Yeah, nah. The mass thing is such over-simplification it verges on becoming a furphy. There are observed accretion disks on stellar black holes within the Milky Way. Most are in binary systems with material (coronal gases and in some cases upper layers of plasma) from companion stars...

    What other games are we all playing?

    Dyson Sphere Project's Black holes are quite pretty. I approched from an angle where the accretion disk was kinda invisible and the warped flows around the event horizon looked weird and good. No entrance tho - only achievement for trying. I believe it was a quote from 2001 for the caption...

    Ship interior compromise

    The problem is, an idea in your imagination is always better than that idea expressed in reality. If Star Citizen has such value in its interiors, why aren't you playing with them? If all that matters is the immersion factor, then it shouldn't matter to you that the rest of the game is broken.

    PLEASE FRONTIER - I've been asking for YEARSSSSSS. Update blackholes!

    You understand this is not a regualr black hole but one with a huge accretion disk of matter orbiting it, you can't base your claim the BH's would have radiation belts based on Sag A*, that's almost ridiculous, as I said you need a strong magnetic field and not just any field, one of these...

    ...stuck in cruise unable to move forever* from the POV of an outsider they would die instantly. Actually the odds are you would die a long way from the blackhole thanks to the likely accretion disk. *So all the game lockups are explained it is the killer blackhole mechanic triggering incorrectly.

    PLEASE FRONTIER - I've been asking for YEARSSSSSS. Update blackholes!

    you would almost certainly have a range of radiation belts around a black hole even without a visible accretion disk. The same way there are belts around the earth and more relevant, jupiter that are highly dangerous and entirely invisible to the human eye. Hazardous environment does exist but...

    Problem with that is how to reconcile being permanently unreconstructible lost information sucked into a black hole with finding yourself at the rebuy screen?

    No I don't think you would, that's the big thing about black holes, they are very hard to spot, and that's because the only way to spot them is thier effect on other objects and light itself due to gravity. If they had radiation belts they would be relatively easy to spot, a radiation belt in...

    Dear developers. we want to walk inside the fleet carrier

    I would prefer dangerous black holes with an accretion disk or flowing matter between two nearby stars. This is why we come to the game and what we will never see in real life. There are a lot of interiors in other games, it is enough to look away from the monitor to see the interior.
