Why are black holes worth so much? One theory...

What if there is tech in the works to make big jumps across the galaxy by wormholes - using you FSD at one BH to jump to another - this would cut down greatly on time to cross the galaxy to areas currently sectioned off.

Maybe that's why they're worth so much... Detailed data on them is in demand be scientists working on the details... Neutron stars less so but still important because they are also collapsed stars

I thought it was because they constitute a navigation hazard. I do think there will be some sort of long distance jump tech in the future because of the number of nebulae with blocked off systems.

Heh, I was just spitballing an idea - no reason to think it's true. BUT it would explain why they're worth more. Navigation hazard is hard to make sense anyway because you have to actively jump to it. Not sure what scanning it will do to make it safer.

But it's an intriguing idea - because it wouldn't make it so you could super-jump anywhere or anytime you want. You'd still have to go out to the nearest black hole which could be a thousand light years away, and it's unlikely there will be one exactly where you need to go. It's would be a shortcut, but it would still allow for exploration.

Plus explain those outrageously high prices ;)
