Does anyone know what this is?


It could be Nothing, He asked for someone to share this on the forum to see if we can determine if its like a graphical glitch or not.

there are three glowing dots that look like stars slowly move and disappear. to the right and slightly down of the streamers jump point.

An interesting clue? or nothing?

I very recently noticed that too...

IMHO it's possibly a bug, as normal stars can now exhibit what looks like a low - but very notable - gravitational lensing/distortion in close proximity, but affecting only a limited area.
Throttling away from i.e. Fuel Scooping then renders the effect, which is unusual for standard stars.

Unsure if that's a bug or intended. It certainly is not easy to reproduce and occurs only once in a while it seems.

Likely requires some testing, flying very close to various stars and then throttling away to monitor for the presence of that visual distortion.
I think this came with the very latest Patch, at least I didn't notice it before that.

To me that looks like warping around a gravitational source like a black hole or NS? The dots seem to twist and rotate around a point the same way that that would for a BH.

FD isnt that subtle imo. If they dont care enough to take care of the obvious i doubt they would take care of the finer points.
If you dont think thats some kind of error, look at the rest of the game.
