Master Chief Petty Officer John-117 well to be fair chief it's called reverse engineering and collaboration with the now friendly sangheliians, you've been away for awhile old man
Dear god. That was like a football match to me, I've almost screamed "turn it all off, drop of warp, see your throttle, DO SOMETHING!". That was amazing, thank you!
If you overheat in SuperCruise IMMEDIATELY slow down and drop out. If it's that severe do an emergency drop. You'll take some hull damage, but less than what happened there o7 Commander for making it to Sag A
The overheat started in normal space. When he failed to line up the vector and got the throttle confused, he should have just turned off the FSD, fixed everything and started again. He would have entered SC with much less heat on the ship and managed to escape with much less damage. Because of his proximity to the black hole, he was always going to take heat damage, compounded by the fact he took forever to enter SC :) No HS ammo was a big issue there too! ;)
I think the fact you had "The Center" selected in the Nav panel made things much worse. ED supercruise mechanics is designed to slow the ship down in the vicinity of selected Nav point. That's why your departure took forever, adding to the time the ship had been under heat stress.
Ueberdoziz he had no choice he didnt have any heat sincs yeah he screwed up and got to close to a supermassive black hole if you dont have heat sincs you pretty much enhage fsd and hope you dont cook
Looking at the galactic center on the galaxy map never ceases to amaze me even years after playing. Something about the density of the stars is so unbelievable.
Didn’t even align towards the escape vector and throttle up before charging the FSD (which is what started cooking him). It’s a wonder he survived long enough to get to Sag A* without basic knowledge like that.
In elite, jumping to 3 kinds of bodies scares the shit out of me, and in this order: neutron stars, pulsars, and black holes. One time I jumped to a pulsar, was really tiny speck of bright light with this HUGE as friik ''drop out'' zone (marked with the usual yellow thin line) around it, pulled me right out of super cruise, scared the crap out of me.
Oh I remember first time I shat myself was then I was in GD 215 or something like that and I almost died from that neutron star there. I was only 1 hr into the game man
Next time you start overheating like that, go to your modules and turn shit off. Shields, thrusters, anything. That will save your skin faster than freaking out and playing with your power pips. Stay calm and deactivate your modules. Shields use a lot of power so they also put out a lot of heat.
It was your FSD causing all the heat damage, if you would've canceled it when your heat got to 100% you could've let it cool down and had more time to realize your thrusters were in reverse. Always fly safe o7.
Glad to see you made it back CMDR. Never be afraid of an emergency drop when things are not going correctly. You will cool down and be able to plot a new strategy. I found myself screaming at the screen there lol. Just did the run myself there and back in 7 days honking. I got sucked in too.
That is so counterintuitive, I never would have known to do that. "Crap, I'm burning up! I know! I'll just stop right where I am that's causing me to overheat, that'll fix it!" Nope, I never in a million years would have thought to do that. I'll try to remember if I'm ever in that kind of situation though!
Pro tip for newcomers in a similar situation use the frame shift drive to find the escape vector and immediately switches off after you are aligned and cool down hit full Throttle and then frameshift out there you will avoid a lot of the damage.
The only black hole encounter I've ever had in Elite was over a year ago. It was your run-of-the-mill, dead massive star sort of black hole, not a supermassive monster like A*. I flew into the black hole (on purpose) and emerged from the other end completely unscathed. That...should not have happened, but it did.
I've seen that happen before, it's a bug. I've been meaning to try it myself but it's so much work to get out there and possibly die I haven't worked up the motivation yet :)
You can abort the jump even after it's charged by just hitting "J" again. Should've done that the moment you got heat problems while charging. Also pack more heat sinks. You can't have too many. And remember your FSD makes a LOT of heat.
until just recently (2.3 I think) paintjobs appeared new on relog or mode switch. Even if he was at colonia and took off from there to Sag A his paint would have been at 0%
Watching this over a year later as I made my way to Sag A* and am now happily on my way home. Black holes freak me out so I slowed right down, took my pictures, scanned everything and flew the hell away.
I love how when he's aligned with the escape vector and the drive won't engage, you can see him slamming the throttle back and forth frantically trying to escape.
Bet you flew to the nearest station "Repairs ship and Changes pants." *You* I like to eat chocolate pudding and explore, I had to fight off pirates sadly I spilled my pudding. *Dry Cleaner dude* HOW DID YOU SPILL THIS MUCH CHOCOLATE ON YOU PANTS!!!?!?!?!?!
"curiosity got the better of me" Like a fish swimming up to the light of a angler fish. Like a fly landing on a venus fly trap Like a mouse collecting cheese of a mouse trap A lesson can be learned here
I did similiar when I visited it. I tried to get to the centre marker, cooked my ship so much I was terrified and used two heatsinks to get the hell out of there! This was after several months of exploration data. I'm tempted to make a u turn and fly back 20,000ly to sell my data and go back out. The risk of losing it all is terrifying.
i know this video is a bit older but it was the first i saw of elite and it really got me interested and i ended up buying it 2 years ago, just wanted to thank you for being an inspiration for me
My dream is being able to play Elite Dangerous, Universe Sandbox² and Space Engine. I live in an awful country and I can't afford a computer good enough for these.
I'm sorry to hear that. My computer is not that great though, Elite Dangerous does not have Star Citizen requirements. A little tip, a weak cheap computer can manage Elite Dangerous as long as it is running on a SSD harddisk.
yeah, I'm far from having that anyway, my pc is a Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM DDR2 and a 512MB 8400GS. No way that will run anything beyound Freelancer. I recently had to uninstall Euro Truck Simulator 2 (I loved to play it, don't judge) because the amount of updates and DLCs made the FPS drop below 6. :(
Gabriel87100 Hey mate, the PS4 version is excellent and they are dirt cheap at the moment. I can't afford a good gaming PC at the moment but the console version is a good compromise. Very happy with it.
if the ship had suffered any more damage, the engines would likely have stopped working or exploded. even worse, the black hole's insane gravity would stretch it into strings of atoms
Always, always align towards the escape vector and fully throttle up before charging the FSD. Charging the FSD is what’ll start to cook you; being aligned and at top speed means you’ll go back to supercruise the instant it’s charged, minimizing the time spent at those heat levels. Also, before going on a long expedition, make sure you’ve stocked up on engineering materials to synthesize heatsinks and AFMU refills so you don’t run out, the latter especially if you intend to use neutron jumps since each one eats away at your FSD a little. Finally, when your destination is grayed out and enclosed in a dotted circle, it means there’s something between you and what you’re trying to get to, in this case the event horizon. I’m surprised you got all the way to Sag A* without picking up on that, glad you were able to survive.
lol I'm an Elite Dangerous backer and I haven't played in a while but just now, watching the part where the frameshift drive is charged and waiting on ship alignment (which I've horribly misaligned at least once) the heat is building like crazy and the dash is sparking and smoking, I can smell burning stuff! Damn, that's good visual cueing I'm thinking.... Turns out my toasted tea cake in the kitchen had just dinged and that was what I could smell! I should break out the ole Saitek X52 Pro and dust off the Imperial Clipper and take it for a spin.... :D
A quick tip for someone dangerously close to a star who needs to escape and has no heat sinks to deploy: Turn on your FSD for a moment to line up with the escape vector, then turn it off to cool down, then throttle up, dump power into systems, and turn it on again. It gets you the most time to escape before your heat levels get critical.
@@defensebyoffense4366 doesn't seem like someone who has year of experience flying. I get he panicked but that wasn't even different from flying too close to the sun. You hit supercruise, align with vector and done-
Wow. Halfway through the video (just after the first emergency drop) I figured "Well, it's not that bad, you could've heard "Canopy integrity compromised" after that emergency drop". A short while later: "Canopy integrity compromised" and I instantly gasped and thought "oh crap, oh crap!". Tip for the next time you're in this sort of predicament: Drop back out to normal space and disable all non-essential systems. Those shields for example would've made a double digit % difference in heat output :). All you really need is the FSD and the Thrusters.
That's why I carry a heatsink launcher on every single ship I have even if it maxes out my power draw when deployed I keep it turned off in the modules tab so it's never deployed unless I need it
I'm over here like: "Why are they so close to Sagittarius A without heatsinks!?" "Aye fam! You too close!" "See that's what happens when you fw black holes!"
What are you all doing with your ships? I traveled also month threw the god damn Milky Way but i still was at 100% of hull capacity when i came back. And i did a lot of experiments at black wholes, white dwarfs, da-stars, neutron stars and so on. I saw a lot of people, who had highly damaged ships after such a trip. What are you doing?! Fly safe, cmdr! That's really important. O7
2 days ago I was distracted answering to my girlfriend in whatsapp, tried to jump to another star while i was still scooping. I didnt know what was happening for a few seconds till i realized what I was actually trying to do. Almost all my modules went from 100% to 50%. Another mistake like that and im dead.
You lucky ba**ard!! That would have been rather heart rending to say the least! I hope you had a repair limpit controller on board so you could synthesize some limpets and repair that hull along with a module repair unit!
You know a video game did a DAMN GOOD JOB if watching a video on RUclips of the player getting close to a super massive black hole makes your heart race, no joke I checked my heart rate right after watching this and it was at 108 this game unlike any other (at least that I know of) does the limitless power of space better, it doesn't ask for you respect it demands it.
I'm somewhere out between Sag. A and Beagle Point at the moment, in my beat up ASP Explorer. I had a similar accident that you had, but made it out in better shape. Once I reach Beagle Point, I plan on heading back the long way around to the bubble. Can't wait to make it home. Fly safe, CMDR. o7
I almost had a heart attack during my first canopy breach. At the time I thought it was instant death.... I'm real glad it wasn't, as I was hauling 12 units if gold for a mission at that time, still scares me half to death even now. A canopy breach is something that will and should always terrify you. Just remember, DON'T PANIC ,you have AT LEAST 7:30 worth of oxygen to get to a place to repair. Also module reinforcements don't help the canopy. It suffers damage through heat or by being shot directly, it is the only exposed module on any ship and has no way of being improved.
I played the game in 2019. The first time i saw a black hole i tried to ram it. I was so sad that the game didnt allowed me to go beyond the event horizon. 😭
@@Maxgamer-fd7hv Dude, its a video game with fast space travel and respawn. What did you expected me to do the first time I encountered a black hole. In my opinion, any game devs that don't allow to do that under the rules I just mentionned has a serious lack of imagination.
@@Maxgamer-fd7hv But that's my point, science-fiction gives us a tool to assume the impossible. Its as if you're saying that you're okay for the game to have FTL and giant space aliens but if the devs dared to try to do something about black holes, that's unnacceptable.
If you would have boosted the second you got lined up with the escape vector you would have entered supercruise while still at only 100 temp instead of just sitting around waiting for it to engage on it's own from simply being throttled up. I have never seen a ship jump until at least 180mps and being in full throttle takes a while to get there and then the fsd takes it sweet time initiating. If you just throw the throttle forward all the way then boost you will hit that speed mark in just a couple seconds and it will cause the fsd to initiate almost instantly upon reaching the 180mps speed.
Let's fly directly into a supermassive black hole
nothing wrong is going to happen...

Heads over to it
Me: “shit”
Wtf i get scared of planets. I wont even go mining
Moth to the flame...
Lol exactly :)
Next time you start overheating like that, go to your modules and turn shit off. Shields, thrusters, anything. That will save your skin faster than freaking out and playing with your power pips. Stay calm and deactivate your modules. Shields use a lot of power so they also put out a lot of heat.
xDDD i recently started the game and I shit myself when the Fsd drop me a bit too near of a star
So i dont want to imagine this xD
@@Tsuyu__MCLeVraiPRIVE ikr It always be like that 😂😂😂😂😂
My silent running boiz know alllll about that ;)
or dont spend 30 seconds fiddling around trying to align and accelerate, while choosing to keep the FSD on
It was your FSD causing all the heat damage, if you would've canceled it when your heat got to 100% you could've let it cool down and had more time to realize your thrusters were in reverse. Always fly safe o7.
Jesus man, that was intense. I shared your sense of panic. Good job in recovering! :D
That's when you cancel the jump, wait for everything to cool down, then pre-align and accelerate before re-engaging the FSD.
This game does such a good job of creating panic when your ship is getting its ass kicked
Glad to see you made it back CMDR. Never be afraid of an emergency drop when things are not going correctly. You will cool down and be able to plot a new strategy. I found myself screaming at the screen there lol. Just did the run myself there and back in 7 days honking. I got sucked in too.
I'll definitely do that the next time :)
That is so counterintuitive, I never would have known to do that. "Crap, I'm burning up! I know! I'll just stop right where I am that's causing me to overheat, that'll fix it!"
Nope, I never in a million years would have thought to do that. I'll try to remember if I'm ever in that kind of situation though!
For everyone asking what the game is, its Elite Dangerous
Ty
I'm a noob just started. What is the significance of sag A?
@@yewawtmayt2805 it's just a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy.
@@yewawtmayt2805 That's the name of the black hole at the center of our galaxy.
Pro tip for newcomers in a similar situation use the frame shift drive to find the escape vector and immediately switches off after you are aligned and cool down hit full Throttle and then frameshift out there you will avoid a lot of the damage.
when the trip out took you a year, but the trip back to your home hanger took 30 seconds.
Sagittarius A*: “and stay out!”
I'm pleased to know other commanders get overwhelmed by the alarms and flashing lights.
Ok, to prevent the overheating while misaligned, you just cancel the jump, get aligned, and restart. Also when needing to throttle up, just boost
But boosting generates unnecessary heat
@@Loli_lover206 Not more than is prevented by escaping the situation more rapidly
The light explorative piano when everything is alright really makes the entire video
this is beautiful its just amazing to think this is what the center of the milky-way might look like. if it is it looks so beautiful
Forget red alert. Let's go straight to brown alert!
The only black hole encounter I've ever had in Elite was over a year ago. It was your run-of-the-mill, dead massive star sort of black hole, not a supermassive monster like A*. I flew into the black hole (on purpose) and emerged from the other end completely unscathed. That...should not have happened, but it did.
I've seen that happen before, it's a bug.
I've been meaning to try it myself but it's so much work to get out there and possibly die I haven't worked up the motivation yet :)
Lucky Luigi Maia has a black hole, which isn't too far to go from the bubble. It's a far SC flight in from the jump in point though.
That's what you get for having a pink HUD haha. Lucky flying CMDR, o7
Or changing the shields to yellow
That's purple though.
You can abort the jump even after it's charged by just hitting "J" again. Should've done that the moment you got heat problems while charging. Also pack more heat sinks. You can't have too many.
And remember your FSD makes a LOT of heat.
4:11 waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaait a second.... 1 year exploring and your paintjob is intact? That's suspicious....
until just recently (2.3 I think) paintjobs appeared new on relog or mode switch. Even if he was at colonia and took off from there to Sag A his paint would have been at 0%
As themustachioedman explained, it is a bug in the game
@@LuckyLuigi what game
@@ghostboy6472 elite dangerous
Watching this over a year later as I made my way to Sag A* and am now happily on my way home. Black holes freak me out so I slowed right down, took my pictures, scanned everything and flew the hell away.
I love how when he's aligned with the escape vector and the drive won't engage, you can see him slamming the throttle back and forth frantically trying to escape.
I'll be fine (gets hit with a gamma rays burst
ill be fine (aspx gets Spaghettified into anaconda)
Bet you flew to the nearest station "Repairs ship and Changes pants."
*You* I like to eat chocolate pudding and explore, I had to fight off pirates sadly I spilled my pudding.
*Dry Cleaner dude* HOW DID YOU SPILL THIS MUCH CHOCOLATE ON YOU PANTS!!!?!?!?!?!
LOOOL :) :) :)
Lol
Looks like you got a bit of pizza on there as well....
@@WilbertLek 😳
"curiosity got the better of me"
Like a fish swimming up to the light of a angler fish.
Like a fly landing on a venus fly trap
Like a mouse collecting cheese of a mouse trap
A lesson can be learned here
I did similiar when I visited it. I tried to get to the centre marker, cooked my ship so much I was terrified and used two heatsinks to get the hell out of there! This was after several months of exploration data. I'm tempted to make a u turn and fly back 20,000ly to sell my data and go back out. The risk of losing it all is terrifying.
i know this video is a bit older but it was the first i saw of elite and it really got me interested and i ended up buying it 2 years ago, just wanted to thank you for being an inspiration for me
My dream is being able to play Elite Dangerous, Universe Sandbox² and Space Engine. I live in an awful country and I can't afford a computer good enough for these.
I'm sorry to hear that. My computer is not that great though, Elite Dangerous does not have Star Citizen requirements.
A little tip, a weak cheap computer can manage Elite Dangerous as long as it is running on a SSD harddisk.
yeah, I'm far from having that anyway, my pc is a Core 2 Duo, with 4GB RAM DDR2 and a 512MB 8400GS. No way that will run anything beyound Freelancer. I recently had to uninstall Euro Truck Simulator 2 (I loved to play it, don't judge) because the amount of updates and DLCs made the FPS drop below 6. :(
*sadface* Hope you manage to get a good machine soon !
Gabriel87100 Hey mate, the PS4 version is excellent and they are dirt cheap at the moment. I can't afford a good gaming PC at the moment but the console version is a good compromise. Very happy with it.
Its not Brazil so..
"Leee-roy Jen-kiiins!" he called out as he flew into the black hole.
I don’t understand what happened but rip?
if the ship had suffered any more damage, the engines would likely have stopped working or exploded. even worse, the black hole's insane gravity would stretch it into strings of atoms
@@EnderSpy358 that sounds cool tho
Le A supermassive black hole would actually let you in past the event horizon without being spaghettified
@@AlejandroCab98 Uh that's not true
@@HornedPandaWasTaken it's theoretically possible.
You are so lucky to survive at 2% hull. My respects from 2024, commander
You almost became part of the galactic raspberry souffle!
Always, always align towards the escape vector and fully throttle up before charging the FSD. Charging the FSD is what’ll start to cook you; being aligned and at top speed means you’ll go back to supercruise the instant it’s charged, minimizing the time spent at those heat levels. Also, before going on a long expedition, make sure you’ve stocked up on engineering materials to synthesize heatsinks and AFMU refills so you don’t run out, the latter especially if you intend to use neutron jumps since each one eats away at your FSD a little.
Finally, when your destination is grayed out and enclosed in a dotted circle, it means there’s something between you and what you’re trying to get to, in this case the event horizon. I’m surprised you got all the way to Sag A* without picking up on that, glad you were able to survive.
Jesus, from the perspective of someone who hangs around Sol, this looks wild.
Your escape from the black hole works so well with the latter half of "No time for caution" form Hans Zimmer!
I liked this idea so much I'm making it a reality.
lol I'm an Elite Dangerous backer and I haven't played in a while but just now, watching the part where the frameshift drive is charged and waiting on ship alignment (which I've horribly misaligned at least once) the heat is building like crazy and the dash is sparking and smoking, I can smell burning stuff! Damn, that's good visual cueing I'm thinking....
Turns out my toasted tea cake in the kitchen had just dinged and that was what I could smell!
I should break out the ole Saitek X52 Pro and dust off the Imperial Clipper and take it for a spin.... :D
Its crazy how long doing anything in this game takes its kinda beautiful
"Cooper what are you doing?"
"Warping"
“Canopy compromised”
**Jazz Music stops**
All them little fireworks near Christmas tree were so wholesome :) and they say, black hole - bad
A quick tip for someone dangerously close to a star who needs to escape and has no heat sinks to deploy:
Turn on your FSD for a moment to line up with the escape vector, then turn it off to cool down, then throttle up, dump power into systems, and turn it on again. It gets you the most time to escape before your heat levels get critical.
4:40 ok but wtf is he doing with the acceleration there?
He panicked as hell and was going in reverse towards death lol
@@defensebyoffense4366 doesn't seem like someone who has year of experience flying. I get he panicked but that wasn't even different from flying too close to the sun. You hit supercruise, align with vector and done-
This is pure facepalm material... 😂
I'm gonna presume that human instinct took over and dropped your IQ by 50% for a moment there... (no offence) 😂
I agree I totally did not deserve to survive that one :)
All I could think of. . .ruclips.net/video/U8b99OjLdlY/видео.html
Yup
goodwinlaw I was more in the mind of ruclips.net/video/-nD9FsSdLDo/видео.html
Very human thing
well done for escaping 😓
Why do you fly so GODDAMN CARELESSLY AND GIVE ME A HEART ATTACK
Yeah, people are like, "oh well, spent hundreds of ours grinding and travelling careful to get here. Time to die."
You had a while extra percent of your hull left. Completely under control. Great video cmdr, thank you for sharing.
How the hell do you get that different coloured display? And why is the display all different? Did Horizons change those icons?
There's a file you can edit to change your HUD colors I think. And yes, horizons did change the UI as far as I know.
Lucky that you didn't touch the event horizon
You cant touch it in Elite. Game will just drop you out of Supercruise near the "border" of body, just like near stars or surfaces
mervan thought it the game did have that since of realism he would have been totally sucked into the black hole
Wow. Halfway through the video (just after the first emergency drop) I figured "Well, it's not that bad, you could've heard "Canopy integrity compromised" after that emergency drop".
A short while later: "Canopy integrity compromised" and I instantly gasped and thought "oh crap, oh crap!".
Tip for the next time you're in this sort of predicament: Drop back out to normal space and disable all non-essential systems. Those shields for example would've made a double digit % difference in heat output :). All you really need is the FSD and the Thrusters.
this video is my exploration nightmare
That's why I carry a heatsink launcher on every single ship I have even if it maxes out my power draw when deployed I keep it turned off in the modules tab so it's never deployed unless I need it
this my friends, is a prime example of why i NEVER fly without orbit lines
Actually just turned mine off last night. Watched this with morning coffee and theyre comming bacl on soon as my game loads.
I'm over here like: "Why are they so close to Sagittarius A without heatsinks!?" "Aye fam! You too close!" "See that's what happens when you fw black holes!"
This vid needs your commentary 😂
@@mrenemy7674 Much appreciated! 😂 I just might have to do that.
What are you all doing with your ships? I traveled also month threw the god damn Milky Way but i still was at 100% of hull capacity when i came back. And i did a lot of experiments at black wholes, white dwarfs, da-stars, neutron stars and so on. I saw a lot of people, who had highly damaged ships after such a trip. What are you doing?!
Fly safe, cmdr! That's really important.
O7
I'd crashed on a high G planet but survived before I got here :)
Also did an emergency break on a ring but that was a bug I think.
So you really took that damage and still went on exploring? :D Oh my... but yea, i also had my deadly first meeting with a high g planet. ;)
they do other stuff, watching netflix
2 days ago I was distracted answering to my girlfriend in whatsapp, tried to jump to another star while i was still scooping. I didnt know what was happening for a few seconds till i realized what I was actually trying to do. Almost all my modules went from 100% to 50%.
Another mistake like that and im dead.
Wow that black hole actually looks like the one we saw
You lucky ba**ard!! That would have been rather heart rending to say the least! I hope you had a repair limpit controller on board so you could synthesize some limpets and repair that hull along with a module repair unit!
I wonder what the time dilation would have been if you were actually that close to Sag A.
This is amazing footage ! You need to share the technical details of your ship with NASA, they’ve only got as far as the moon.
You know a video game did a DAMN GOOD JOB if watching a video on RUclips of the player getting close to a super massive black hole makes your heart race, no joke I checked my heart rate right after watching this and it was at 108 this game unlike any other (at least that I know of) does the limitless power of space better, it doesn't ask for you respect it demands it.
Wait did it seriously take that long to travel there? How much hours per week did you play?
On average I had about an evening each week to play, say about 5 hours.
What is the name of the OST at 06:20
I'm somewhere out between Sag. A and Beagle Point at the moment, in my beat up ASP Explorer. I had a similar accident that you had, but made it out in better shape. Once I reach Beagle Point, I plan on heading back the long way around to the bubble. Can't wait to make it home. Fly safe, CMDR. o7
This like a how to instruction video of how NOT to engage black holes!
5:00 can't you boost????
Too busy panicking :)
*When systems malfuction*
Patrick: WEE WOO WEE WOO WEE WOO!
This is why you always pay attention to your 3d compass when aligning with escape vectors that was too close
I almost had a heart attack during my first canopy breach. At the time I thought it was instant death.... I'm real glad it wasn't, as I was hauling 12 units if gold for a mission at that time, still scares me half to death even now. A canopy breach is something that will and should always terrify you. Just remember, DON'T PANIC ,you have AT LEAST 7:30 worth of oxygen to get to a place to repair. Also module reinforcements don't help the canopy. It suffers damage through heat or by being shot directly, it is the only exposed module on any ship and has no way of being improved.
I played the game in 2019. The first time i saw a black hole i tried to ram it. I was so sad that the game didnt allowed me to go beyond the event horizon. 😭
you literally can't go beyond the event horizon. Time stops.
Max gamer 20 we Don’t know what happens past the event horizon
@@Maxgamer-fd7hv Dude, its a video game with fast space travel and respawn. What did you expected me to do the first time I encountered a black hole. In my opinion, any game devs that don't allow to do that under the rules I just mentionned has a serious lack of imagination.
@@daganisoraan but we don't know what is beyond the event horizon tho, we can only make assumptions.
@@Maxgamer-fd7hv But that's my point, science-fiction gives us a tool to assume the impossible. Its as if you're saying that you're okay for the game to have FTL and giant space aliens but if the devs dared to try to do something about black holes, that's unnacceptable.
well no wonder, you're running a combat build for exploration and taking all pips away from systems, which would've helped you cool off faster
You can cancel supercruise charge. It help when you mess some stuff. Just do a second try.
If you would have boosted the second you got lined up with the escape vector you would have entered supercruise while still at only 100 temp instead of just sitting around waiting for it to engage on it's own from simply being throttled up. I have never seen a ship jump until at least 180mps and being in full throttle takes a while to get there and then the fsd takes it sweet time initiating. If you just throw the throttle forward all the way then boost you will hit that speed mark in just a couple seconds and it will cause the fsd to initiate almost instantly upon reaching the 180mps speed.
