Yeah okay, but it's still just doing the same thing like 4000 times. I already want to skip the jumping animation.

Yes I agree, but it makes going to the center or other side of the galaxy, or even anywhere outside occupied space mean something.  If you could just warp to any point the sence of vastness and distance would be dramatically diminished I think. I once went out on a week long trip to one of the nearby nebula because I was curious what space would be like inside it but was disappointed by the lack of difference when I got there. On the way back however, I encountered a black hole and though I couldn't see it, as i got near my systems began to malfunction, light began to bend, and i was slowly pulled in. Not wanting to lose my python and 1.6 million in cartography, I left.  I kinda regret that now. With planetary landings it does provide some incentive to explore the actual systems, though probably far more when they introduce atmospheric landings.

Anyone flown into a black hole?  I've seen some trippy you tube videos of what seem like crazy experiences people have with them.  I've gotten bored having around 600m and have been waiting for new content from Horizons, but chasing after such an experience might be enough to pursue some exploration.

Nice attempt but that's pretty bad representation what happens when you enter the black hole. You can clearly see when you've crossed event horizon, something you can't tell irl. Not to mention visual mistakes, there's ton of them. Still, it's a nice try.

Edit: Also, before you reach the "plane" of black hole you'll be blinded by light of gazillion suns. Center of black hole is not an infinitely small point like people seem to believe. Still not right to call it a plane, that's why I put it under quotes. Spacetime as we know doesn't exist when you go past event horizon, there is no proper way to explain something we don't even understand what it is.

Most of the time I actually did just random Empire missions.
The last step from Lord to Baron I did the relogging approach with the charity missions.

If anyone is looking for a good Empire system then go to Xi Wangar. Did from Lord to Baron only there!

I still have no idea how to make screenshots of the outside of the ship :D
Does it only work in a certain game mode like solo or is there some secret hack to it? Or am I - which is profoundly most probable - just too stupid? :)


Why so many heat sinks? For scooping?

alt-ctrl- space

and because in case i need them if i make a mistake or get into trouble, not like I'm gonna be able to resupply for a while.

I jumped into one system where i was flanked by 2 stars and began to overheat rapidly, it only took one heat sink but it saved me till i could escape.

Yea, I do have a heat sink with me as well. Especially when you're fuel scooping it's a must have. So easy to fuck up scooping if you don't pay attention just for a moment.

Have to try the outside camera on my sexy Clipper when I get home :D

I wish I had dual screens like Jason.

I do at work, but my current setup sucks for it.

Triple, but its obsolete in April when VR comes out.  Will still be great for work though.
