    Stars rendered by cartography as black holes

    Dear all, Some stars, Maityan for instance, appear black when viewed here in 'system map'. Looks normal enough in gameplay - is there a fix for chaotic collapsars in system cartography only? Graythe. Black holes

    This is some definition of 'black' I've not previously encountered :unsure:

    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

    Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

    Taken my alt's shiny new Mandalay for its first proper run into the black, out to the Norma Arm for now. For once I'm finding lots of unvisited neutron stars and black holes, I hadn't realised how pretty they could be:

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    One cool thing about this nebula, is that since you have all those really bright stars, and black holes, you can play with alignment of black holes and stars and align reflections like this: It's possible one of them from some exact position renders Raxxla.

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    I visited all black holes in NGC 7822 and other than some glorious sites, nothing particularly interesting happened. Two posts: first with the gallery of portraits of all black holes in NGC 7822, and second with some more interesting other shots. And here is gallery part 1.

    black hole accretion disk visulization update

    Black Holes are actually a sphere on current understanding, could be hard to replicate in game but then as nobody has actually ever really seen one who knows what they are really like. O7

    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...

    Maybe that will be the new feature for the end of the year, accretion discs at black holes and elsewhere.

    [Bug] Planet Surface Temps Hot as Stars - Breaks Immersion for Explorers

    Or how about (full-sized) stars that are so cold that they are pitch black (which, of course, is a physical impossibility.) As physically impossible as it may be, at least it makes for a great visit for explorers, though...

    We are going to need a bigger ship

    ...a cargo rack using tamed black hole technology to increase capacity without increasing the space needed? Maybe an opportunity for an exploration CG based on black holes analysis? And definitely easier than waiting for FDev to design and release a new oversized ship that would not fit in the slot?

    Thoughts on adding new ground suits?

    Things with gas giants is, at these pressures almost everything* will become positively buoyant at some depth😉 *Exceptions would probably be things like lead, tungsten, neutronium and black holes

    How important is KGBFOAM really?

    ...not only cool, but helpful to making progress along that highway. In fact is it even a highway if you're not making neutronium jumps? And you'll miss the black holes, and the Wolf-Rayet stars, and and and... Now you gotta make progress, but I personally would stop and look around once in a...

    Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

    A couple of years ago I discovered an area of the galaxy that had a lot of Black Holes, and I tagged quite a few of them. I also bookmarked the area for a possible future return. I realized today that I'm not too far from that area, so I've decided that now is the time to revisit it, tag some...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    ...for a single black pixel on a black map. This allows for constant hope that maybe just maybe raxxla. It's the same with exotic stars. There's none and those wouldn't even be created by stellar forge since that should have been based on real physics and stuff like black holes is just non sequence.

    Newcomer / Intro What are you up to?

    And be careful with your landing approach. Also, make sure the black hole is inactive. Active ones might turn you into spaghetti. Thinking about it, the black holes I've seen so far in this game are all inactive...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    ...It has come to my attention recently that I'm more wrong about things than correct, a new position I'm reluctant to get used to. I edited my above post again to reflect the correct information regarding "witch-space". I'm still throwing garbage at black holes tho, cuz you know...science.

    black hole accretion disk visulization update

    Maybe it would be visually cool, but it would be unrealistic. Stellar-mass black holes don't have accretion discs. Even the few that have a very close companion star that feeds it gas don't have a bright visible one. Maybe, maybe, they have an extremely faint thin accretion disc, but likely too...

It's fun to tag rare stuff, but I do kinda wish the visuals for black holes was a bit more impressive :) As a bonus, I also tagged a couple of Neutron stars. They don't pay much but they are just...

    The Quest To Find Raxxla

    I find WHs and especially the supermassive one we have at the center of our galaxy (mother of galaxies?) very interesting and possibly related to Raxxla. I'm doing a trip to Beagle Point and just passed Sag A, but can turn back if you want me to experiment something in that particular WH...

    How far out do you go these days for undiscovered systems?

    ...long time. What kind of distances are involved these days to find undiscovered systems, both along the galactic plane, and away from it in random non-nebula directions? How far before even the distinctive-on-the-map interesting systems are often undiscovered? (Black holes, HIPs, neutron...

    Why I didn’t boycott the Panther Clipper

    S'funny, I was thinking the PC2 needs a decal that says "I brake for Black Holes" or something similar. On topic, I was ready to give the PC2 a miss once I knew that it wasn't going to be the cargo behemoth I was hoping for but then, once I looked at the slots properly, I knew it could make a...

    Is Colonisation Pointless?

    Not true. I have one system colonized with a black hole and a neutron star, and another system with a great view of a nebula. Both done solo, though I expanded from other people’s expansions.

    Exclude White Dwarves from Jet-Cone Boost routes

    The ones where the jets barely extend past the exclusion zone? Everyone should get to experience those at least once 🤣 Also black holes should actively pull you in when you get close enough and permanently delete your commander because the rescue rangers ain't gonna pull you out 🫠🫠🫠

    The Thargoid War should not be over, We should invade their stuff.. Unlock COL 70 NOW!

    If so, it should be made so difficult that it is virtually impossible to gain a foothold in the Thargoid sectors. huge planetary fortresses that make existence more than difficult for invaders. artificial black holes that decapitate carrier ships and similar surprises.

    Anyone have a personal bucket list you hope to find out in the black?

    ...as either black hole or neutron, and can be easly spoted by using realistic galaxy map view, or right filters... but those regions are like 20k ly in average to get in. But once reached, you can find more undiscovered black holes and neturons, than you could spend entire lifetime to "tag" those.

    A Galaxy Full of Carriers, and Nowhere to Park

    But this way you get the exact opposite, you drag the bubble along with you and only enlarge that which you don't like. If you have that longing, nothing beats being out there with your exploration ship and nothing else. I get the desire to have one's own station, that's what fleet carriers are...

    A Galaxy Full of Carriers, and Nowhere to Park

    ...because of this that I'm building colonies stretching out deep into the black. I don't like the bubble. It's too busy, it's too samey, and it's far too full of idiot NPCs. Much better in my view to base yourself in a part of the galaxy with NSP, black holes and something else to look at...
