Yeah I 100% can't see hyperlanes when they're near the core. If I start near the core I just roll up a new map. It's surprisingly bad design.

There should be some fancy glowing space-storm wall around the core, not the glarey fog.

There are mods to brighten hyperlanes and decrease the brightness of the galactic core on the workshop, whichever you want.

How does repair speed of "The Grand Fleet" edict affect hull regen once you have regenerative plating or whatever the name for it is? It only applies if you're orbiting a space port, or does it help mid-battle regen? e: does the 5% to shield hp tech help with shield regen rates?

Black holes don't suck things in unless something just happens to intersect its orbit in the right way so that it falls in.

Thanks for reminding me about mods. Picked up one called Dark Galaxy which is out of date but works anyway.

If they aren’t going to fix ground combat in Cherryh I hope they replace the useless ground combat techs and militarist bonus with fleet max techs.

Well the intersections seem to happen often enough, else I don't think there would be many black holes. IDK if they would occur very often within the game's time scale though. I'm not an astro-physicist. Something like this is what I had in mind though https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AM6TWFSj57M

Black holes occur when a sufficiently massive star implodes, it has nothing to do with stellar collisions.

Shadowlyger posted:Black holes occur when a sufficiently massive star implodes, it has nothing to do with stellar collisions. Well, stellar collisions can cause them too. Specially a collision between two neutron stars will create a black hole, that's one of the blips the gravity wave detector is supposed to have picked up.

COMRADES posted:I think any cosmic event that causes a lot of density in a small point of space will result in a black hole? True, you can make one out of pure light too, called a kugelblitz. The thing about most collisions is they will explode before hitting their schwarzschild radius as electron and neutron degeneracy pressure are hurdles that have to be overcome, and if your hit those barriers without blowing right past them they send a shockwave which tends to blast the colliding objects apart.

turn off the TV posted:There are mods to brighten hyperlanes and decrease the brightness of the galactic core on the workshop, whichever you want. Now I want a "realism" mod which increases the brightness of the galactic core until our eyes bleed Also all colonies too close to the core suffer high penalties on everything due to the extreme background radiation

Shadowlyger posted:Black holes occur when a sufficiently massive star implodes, it has nothing to do with stellar collisions. Here's a transcript of a NASA Q&A:https://www.nasa.gov/connect/chat/black_hole_chat.html NASA dude Gerald Jerry Fishman posted:Most scientists think that black holes are formed when the centers of very massive stars collapse and can no longer support the overlaying material. These are called solar-mass black holes -- black holes with at least 10x the mass of the sun. Much more massive black holes are called supermassive black holes. These are thought to start by "swallowing" other stars at the center of a galaxy. They start as a small black hole and gradually grow to an enormous size, sometimes as large as a hundred million to a billion times the mass of our sun. Some scientists believe that there are a class of "primordial" or small black holes that formed at the same time the universe formed. These haven't been directly observed, so their reality can't be confirmed. Some of the very small primordial black holes are thought to slowly evaporate over long periods of time, whereas more massive black holes can live for many billions of years. NASA dude Gerald Jerry Fishman posted:Yes, if there's nearby material they'll gather this material and they'll grow in mass -- but only slightly in size. NASA dude Gerald Jerry Fishman posted:Scarker: Is it possible for an object to orbit a black hole within its event horizon without being sucked into the center?

Gravity manipulation ascendancy tree: t1: Solar scale propulsion: able to move asteroids around, can crash them into planets killing some of the pops t2: Able to move moons around, can crash them into planets killing all pops. Leaves a smaller tomb world with a high mineral bonus debris field t3: Able to eject black holes from the galactic core. Annihilates systems in a line drawn from the galactic center. Systems not directly in the path get shifted inwards, have a chance of losing smaller bodies, and get a habitability/happiness debuff from the chaos.

Yes, people get blown up by black holes drifting into their houses all the time, everyone knows that. (They were talking about black holes formed from light instead of matter, which are named after ball lightning, not actual ball lightning.)

Is it intended that the Fallen Empire peace treaty can win a domination victory? And it just awards it to a random signatory? Also, there should be repeatable traditions for when you max out all the trees

In my current game, I'm an evolved-to-synthetics former plant race battling a hardline spiritualist federation whose sole reason to be is annihilating the heathen false existences that are androids. A single legion of mechanoids versus a coalition of about two dozen biblethumping empires. Their fleet strength is nearly 3 million, while mine is about 1.5, but their ships are far squishier than mine with their average battleship hull strength being about 3k while mine are 4.1k, leading to my 400 battleships kicking their massed armada in the nuts before hightailing it(because attrition will still defeat me). The organic, perception storytelling in this game is pretty good, even past the point where written storylines have run out.

The systems they're in will then get the yellow hexagon thing marking them. There's a good chance they're in someone else's territory, or are about to be.
