It's a fracture in the Matrix. It's actually you trying to tell you nothing is real. In the future. Using gravity.

Check your watch, next time.

Hello there

I always thought it was a friendly bit.

Mine hung around with me no where near any black holes.

Yay? I got one now too. Size: one pixel.

I'm now in a system containing a neutron star, interesting to see if the dot stays with me when I jump elsewhere...

Problem is : no black hole in the System....

That's what caught my attention. And it being very persistent and not random in nature (as I first assumed).

Oh well, I made out two possible sources of the anomaly (if it can also be caused by very distant objects in other Systems) that match the opposite directions where I can center the dancing dot.
On my way to check them both out right now.

Oh yeah, white dwarfs, neutron stars and possibly another star classe now have gravitational lensing shaders, that was added in 1.1 or 1.2

just remembered gravitational lensing was added to white dwarfs, neutron stars and i think another star type in 1.1 or 1.2

I remember seeing such a dot in a Wolf-Rayet star system a while back.

Or maybe it was a white dwarf star. Couldn't remember what it was.

You can actually centre on it and fly right up to it - it moves opposite of your control input, i.e. if you yaw right it moves left, etc. I thought it might have been a feature and a means of somehow navigating to a black hole or neutron star when only using a basic scanner, but after figuring the above out there seems to be no correlation between the dot's location and that of the black hole or other body. At least no obvious correlation...

Yup, the dot went away. And came back when jumped to a system with neutron star.

It's a graphical glitch caused by the gravitational lensing shader around black holes.

No it isn't- not exclusively anyway. I got it earlier in Federal space, nowhere near any black holes, while flying back to Jameson Memorial. It appears to apply to a lot of the denser non-sequence stuff (they probably lens a bit, as you say). It looks far stranger in VR :)

Good to see I'm not going crazy then. I thought my Track IR might be causing them, as they move to the opposite direction to which I look. They're a bit like eyeball floaters, only a heck of lot more annoying. Out of SC and in the debug cam, they're not there, but in SC in the cockpit, got them dancing about and zipping around, arrrghh!

Been with me for the last three jumps now.
