0/10 game doesn't even into physics

Why the fuck is there a rock layer around a star? (dying) stars don't work like that.

are you sure?

Are you not?

I am not sure that that is in fact the dying star that the map is named after, as there is another star-like thing in the map.

I believe that is a poorly illustrated planet being affected by the dying star and the glowy shit is exposed magma.

Without knowing much of the scale here, but the celestial object in front of the dude looks way too small to keep an active core except if the gravitation of two other (gravitationally dominant) celestial objects keeps it rollin' and even then, it doesn't even look to be the size of a dwarf planet or a even a satellite, more like a large asteroid (not really round shaped enough). There does seem to be a star behind it (or just a cheesy solar flare photoshop effect lmfao), but it could as well be a binary system.

Regardless, I doubt they put a lot of thought into this map/picture.

it´s just a destroyed planet ya nerds

It's not a promotional, it's an actual map (http://imgur.com/a/PacPr).

And I didn't know they had faster than light travel, even though that is hypothetically possible (stupid regardless). But you don't want me to get started on that as well do you

That obviously isn't a star. Not even neutron stars are that small. They are after Hollywood effects, you'll find little realism in the work of their designers.

Only two designers who care about realism are Chris Roberts and lead physics programmer. Rest of the folks are typical LA hipsters who just want their game to look cool. Luckily, Roberts is in charge and physics dude has his full support which the reason they are still tweaking game physics that is properly modeled instead of going easy route, with pre-calculated values.

But when it comes to current maps they are work of a person who loves lens flares and similar effects. Maybe newly appointed lead designer for persistent universe will change that.

If you want proper universe with actual scale of celestial bodies, Elite Dangerous is the only game in town. And SpaceEngine, but that isn't a game.

Rumor is the dying star map is supposed to be the Pyro system.

I don't know enough about space to criticize the realism of it, but it does look damn pretty.

Everything is explainable with Unobtainium.

Representing a dying star like that is another kind of silly.

I mean, they have sound in space right?
