I found a brown dwarf with an accretion disk!!!

Ringed brown dwarfs are not uncommon.

Well they are basically gas giant that fail to become a star

Also, a ring system isn't the same thing as an accretion disk. An accretion disk is a mass of matter spiralling into the event horizon of a black hole.

It could also be a ring of matter falling into a proto-star, which is what this brown dwarf can be considered. So I hold true to my original description. I found a brown dwarf with an accretion disk.

Except the rings appear perfectly orbital with no spiralling in effect or increasing heat/density. Do you have a closeup pic with evidence of accretion?

Just appreciate the picture, man.

This response made me lol. Cool pic though

Great picture, how come though you haven't got any pips to Sys/Eng/Wep, am I having a senior moment

Their power distributer is turned off, to reduce the amount of heat produced. This is fairly common for explorers and those who don't intend to engage in combat.

Distributor is only needed to move pips around, you can set pips then shut down the dist.

That's a great screenshot, but not an accretion disk (they are not in the game at the moment).

This is what an accretion disk looks like:

Now that would be pretty awesome

Well I never - thanks guys.

Accretion disks confirmed!

 

[Hadarmil]

Uhhhgh...accretion disks...black holes that are more than a space lens...binary mass transfers...

I'm not going to mention atmospheric landings. Nope.

 

[amadeus1171]

Let's hope they put actual accretion disks in the game and other stellar phenomena.

 

[Penny Umbra]

Ooh, I so want to mine in an accretion disk now!

Unless it makes my ship blow-up. Even so, it'd worth a shot trying, just for fun.
