Is this what Neutron Stars are meant to look like???

Let me check out the window.
I've had them load normal up close but from afar they are rough. Boxy or white solid globe like. They resolve for me with proximity.
I haven't found one with no jets yet but the square fuzzy marshmallow aspect is ever-present. And a mess.
Compared to pre-Odyssey neutrons:
Exactly how much proximity? I've been close enough to charge my FSD in the jets, which is frankly about as close as you can get without imminent destruction, and they do not resolve at all - this is as good as they get:

TBH bug or not, it'd be kinda cool to see more variety with neutron stars - AFAIK they don't all have jets.

I meant arms resolving. The core still looks same as yours I should have said that better.
Sigh. Cubism was so last century.
Ah gotcha now
Yeah the jets are fine, for me at least.Ah gotcha now
I think it may be a bug of the proximity glare / contrast you get from being really close to stars. They fixed it for most stars in Odyssey but the Neutron / WD lag behind for some reason.
Also I think jets arnt resolving as far out as they use to when the stars look bugged, I feel like I have to get much closer so the effect doesn't cover them. Maybe I'm confused but I feel like I'm not imagining it.
cool, now they look as realistic as black holes
Realistically most neutron stars would be cold and dark. Several hundreds of millions are estimated to exist in our galaxy alone but only around 3000 of them are known. And that's because they're still young active.
Realistically strong jets would almost only be present in close binary systems where the neutron star would suck matter off of its companion star. "Weaker" jets would be caused by supernova remnants. Either way, accretion is key here. (Yes, there are known exceptions.)
Realistically those neutron stars and jets are brightest in X-ray and are typically hard to picture in optical or infrared wavelengths in these systems because of the companion that is much brighter in these wavelengths.
As for shape they are expected to look like an ellipsoid due to their fast rotation. So not really square with rounded corners...

See I need this kind of humor this morning.
I don't know why they're misshaped though.
What are they doing to this game..
turn it into a fps.
be thankful to see them like this, because in reality a neutron star or white dwarf, they are extremely bright, that jet that you see is nothing more than a giant particle laser, if you go through it you are cooked and evaporated, it is Like the black hole, the most real one represented is that of interstellar, but in the event that it eats up a system, in the event that it doesn't, you couldn't see it, it's like a magnifying glass without an edge that distorts what you see. through it, but you cannot see him, the ones you see in the game, it is not a neutron star as such, it is the next step, since it is a pulsar, a guiding lighthouse of space, this is the best technical presentation that can explain a little

Pulsars are the neutron stars that we see in elite, the ones that are not pulsar are white dwarfs, since these even if they appear the same at first glance they do not emit the light beams and are of a much lower mass
---------------------------------------------------------------------
in real life
The young neutron stars are the last photo, they do not yet emit the light beams and it is in the process of mass compression, literally young neutron stars and pulsars are sisters of black holes, but as they do not have the necessary mass it becomes these and not a black hole
by the way, if one of those volleys, tentacles or whatever you like to call it hits you, well, your ship would be burned, it's how beams but randomly, it's like the solar flares of a normal star but wildly, like what would you represent in elite dangerous? burning the graphic engine XD
