Fdev, Y-Dwarf stars should be dark

If that was the case, it would still be very dark, you'd have to see in a different spectrum, like beta, gamma, and microwave, and even then, colors would all funky, since invisible spectrum wavelengths are only given color to differentiate the strength of the signal.
I'm all for night sides of planets being dark, and low temp. stars not giving off any heat or light, but I'd want a night-vision mode to make up for it.
FD are missing a trick by not having a whole range of optics modes available.
Plenty of gameplay to be had there.

IIRC there were some systems with only black holes that appeared completely dark
I would post screenshots but Photobucket new policy...
I think it was not Working as intended but an ideal example of what the OP would like systems to look like with Y class stars

Yep, they should add in an option called "Dark Side" I think - switches off all fake gamme/brightness contrasts on dark sides of planets - I'd love to use it, and it would make the alien ruins / motherships even more spectacular for locations.
Then the magical fairy heats up while keeping your ship in FSD near a massive object

Well, that was a seriously disappointing tease.
Could you post from elsewhere, like postimg.org or something? pretty please...
Brown dwarf stars (edit - even room temp Y dwarfs) aren't completely dark. Most of what they emit is infrared, but they do emit visible light as well. But they wouldn't appear violet, they are much more likely to be a very dull red colour.

I dunno, I mean it is a game and all. Black invisible suns of doom don't sound that fun to me. Besides, you shouldn't be able to see the planets either in those systems. Also, by that same logic, shouldn't all gas giants also be invisible? That would be fun. Yeah, I'll go with the HUD filter explanation.

Not whilst at work, sorry
Then why don't you heat up in high G worlds or close to a gas giant?Than deactivate your thrusters while in supercruise
That's also the only function you can make both of them relate to, the performance of one doesn't affect the other.
True though it's virtually none and in frecuencies non visible by humans.
"A black hole of one solar mass (M☉) has a temperature of only 60 nanokelvins (60 billionths of a kelvin); in fact, such a black hole would absorb far more cosmic microwave background radiation than it emits."

Hi, just a small note that things like shields and so on chew power; ship is also fighting gravity (unless falling into a star and never ever leaving, before being redistributed as a smear of atoms is what you consider a good time) so it's going to gain heat.
This is true of planetary gravity as well; boost upside down over a planet and look at your heat output fluctuate.
You do. Planets? Absolutely when in normal space. Get close enough to a hot gas giant in SC and heat will actually climb slightly.
As per my above comment, fly upside down over the surface of a planet, then boost, and watch the heat spike as the thrusters attempt to manage that change in vector and velocity versus gravity. Flight assist off, is a little different, but you still see heat spikes.
As a side note? ipso-facto arguments are silly. That's not how the game really works. It's simulating various things, but 'heat' in this instance is purely a game mechanic - a close approximation, nothing more. Expecting a 1:1 match with reality is a bit foolish when we barely understand how even half of the technology in the 33rd century works, let alone most of it is theoretical at best at this time, most of it is unproven and never mind that most of our understanding of black holes and other stellar phenomena, whilst improving greatly over recent years, is still mostly theoretical.
We have managed to observe some phenomena that lends credence to various theorems; but it's not all completely understood. Frontier do their best, and unless they hire on a theoretical physicist, astronomers and mathematicians, this is about as good as it'll get.
I don't understand most of it. And the bits I do understand, would suggest to me that if the game actually simulated things as we believe they are, it'd be incredibly boring for the most part. The universe operates on glacial time scales, not on the rapid cycle that leads to adventure and excitement.

There is probably an entire civilization of cold aliens that only see ultra violet light. Our sun is probably unbearably bright.
I know, I know, but it would make a cool space horror movie.

Alcubierre Drives don't use thrusters like that, the FSD is the one in charge of warping space-time around the ship to make it move, normal thrusters definetly can't do that since they simply are devices used to propel the ship by ejecting fuel like a rocket.

Hmm, that's because you are BOOSTING, you can't boost in SC, around a high G world in SC it doesn't make any heat. Even if you were right that doesn't explain why don't you heat up close to gas giants in and out SC.
I also would like to hear how the class and grade of your FSD changes the handling, max speed or acceleration of your ship.

IDK but the description of the FSD is quite similar to the Alcubierre Drive, I bet they got inspiration from it and then created the concept of the FSD.
You are ignoring gravity, which the game will translate into small amounts of heat; turn off your shield generator, and other modules to bring your ship down to quite a cold temperature, then swing close by a gas giant. Just because you haven't seen it, doesn't mean it's not happening.
Also over a high G planet simply manoeuvring will change the heat output of the ship. Again, you may need to disable some modules to be able to see the change.
But you do? Some gas giants, that are borderline stars pump out heat, and that is reflected in ship heat. I have mined in rings around hot gas giants before and I can tell you, heat goes up. Again; your lack of observing (or assumption due to lack of observation) doesn't change what's actually happening.
It doesn't? It's how much fuel can be consumed, per jump, versus optimal mass - this is expressed as a value in LY. The acceleration curve of an FSD is identical across the entire module class. Because the only differences are the (maximal) fuel consumption and optimal mass.
Also I am seeing quite a lot of assumptions being presented as facts; as 777Driver has posited, try reading, it might help respond to a few misunderstandings.

I seriosuly doubt that, otherwise we would see a faint red glow on everyday objects.
"near room temperature, a blackbody emitter (such as a human body or light bulb which is turned off) will emit low power radiation at wavelengths predominantly greater than 1µm, well outside the visual range of human observation."
http://www.pveducation.org/pvcdrom/properties-of-sunlight/blackbody-radiation
In normal space that happens because you use your thrusters just as it would in deep space, in SC AFAIK that doesn't happen.
The heat comes from the HOT gas giant, not from gravity.
Then why did you say
? You probably meant another thing I just got confused :S
It does; the "afaik" suggests assumption, yet again. I feel like you are just arguing now to score points and to be seen to be "right". Okay, you fly safe.
