Elite Dangerous - Crashing into Sagittarius A*

My first visit out to the centre of the galaxy. The views were amazing. But I had this nagging question in my head ... Can i crash into it? I created this video of my attempt.

still looks impressive, but just not as impressive as Gargantua. but yeah from what ive seen black holes are highly unfinished, which is stopping me from buying this game yet. pulsars look fucking sweet tho

its because you cant see the ship entering the black hole because light does not bounce off the ship once it crosses the event horison because light cant escape the gravitational pull of a black hole once it passes through the event horizon

[@tabularasa0606]

You can, if it happens during an interdiction.

[@handofcreation0]

@@tabularasa0606 To be fair, that's more just a slight oversight due to the way interdictions work. Whenever you are interdicted, you retain the speed of however fast you were going upon interdiction, so if you fly into a body at a fast enough speed, you can be outside the emergency drop zone on one frame, and have travelled fast and far enough on the next frame to be inside the object and for the game to recognize you're within the emergency exclusion drop-out zone. Usually at that point the game realizes somethings gone fucky, you're in a place you're not supposed to be, and it will boot you to menu and have you start back up in a proper area.

[@tabularasa0606]

@@handofcreation0 But still possible, at least it was a few months ago. It happened to me once. Haven't been able to repeat it though.

[@theakiwar9118]

Well here’s the thing. In physics any sufficiently fast enough particle will just go through an object without disturbing it. For barionic matter it would be a speed of more than Lightspeed. Since faster than light travel is possible in the game, you technically would just phase though an object if you were to crash into it. So neither you nor the object could experience any disturbances

I mean, this makes sense with how supercruise works. Basically the closer you are to mass the slower you go. And since this is a super massive Blackford you can't go all that fast by the time you hit the exclusion zone, compared to a small planet that doesn't show you down as much.

You, an aspiring spacefaerer with a dream. To see the center of our galaxy up close. To see all highly concentrated stars cluster in the sky while the massive, imposing black hole in the center tears up the lights, pulling and stretching the very tissue of spacetime. You feel an urge for discovery. You want to get close, to fall in the immense power by forces of unnimaginable magnitude. You close in, it is unsettling, but relaxing. You know this is it. And as you get to the point of no return, as your view is covered by nothing but stray photons lost in the abyss, you black out. Slowly, you hear birds, and wind, and the sounds of a carriage, feeling a cold breeze in your skin, you open your eyes and "Hey you... You're finally awake."

Morale of the story : Exclusion zones still exist

[@N0meC0gn0me]

Sagittarius A is extremely big. With black holes, the bigger the thing is the closer you can get, because the gravitational pull is more spread out. You could effectively dance on the event horizon and come back with enough thrust. With smaller black holes you would get disintegrated way before even approaching the event horizon.

[@mertar3608]

Sagittarius A is a supermassive black hole, its gravitation pull holds the milky way together. The overwhelming size and power seems to be missed in this game.

[@lizardlegend42]

Its gravity does not hold our galaxy together, this is a misconception. It acts nothing like the sun in our solar system. While it is certainly extremely massive, it is nowhere near massive enough to affect us in the slightest, we're way too far away. Rather what holds our galaxy together is the mass of every single star and body in it pulling on each other. Sagittarius A* simply formed in the middle of it all

[@floseatyard8063]

Saying "it is yet to be proved" is a technicality. Everything math-wise checks out, and for those sorts of things we're 99.999% sure that it's true. But since we can't physically go to a black hole, it's labelled "unproven"

@@TheHipOneMusic Hey I like your comment. Just want to request you to check out Black Hole documentary on Netflix where the Nasa scientists and various others are accepting the fact that 'they do not understand the black holes fully yet and specially what actually happens when you go around it or fall into it.' They said 'only mathematically its proven yet, but black holes can't just be studied purely using maths or physics because everytime the equation says something else and the observation through the telescopes shows something else.' So how BH will affect you when you are around them is just based on the assumptions made by scientists using maths, of which even they are not fully confident about. I am not saying they are wrong or right, its just that the assumptions are not certain and cannot be assumed as its true. Please do check the documentaties!

1:18 thats... not how supercruise works... that's not how any warp bubble drive works All your speed is based on a spacetime bubble half-moving, which in ED gets disrupted by gravity and slows down because of it. "Building up speed" with a warp bubble doesn't work, you'll be slowed down depending on how close you are from any gravity well. Which is what happened, at 2:39 you went far enough from the gravitational Soi (sphere of influence) of Source 2 (is that its real name?) to reach 480c but went close enough to the gravitational Soi of Sagittarius that you slowed down, completely removing your built-up acceleration. Point is, with supercruise you don't build up speed to crash into a black hole.

at least the spaghettification is less severe with a huge black hole compared to the smaller ones so you won't become a noodle as fast. i.e. the differing gravitational pull difference between your feet and your head. Smaller black holes spaghettify well outside their horizon while the bigger ones spaghettify much much closer to the horizon, yea even only within the horizon sometimes.

Thanks for taking the chance that all of us wanted to do.

First ever BH I encountered was the one at around 5000ly from the bubble and right away I wanted to test what happens if I fly into it (back then I didn't really know much about BH's in elite). My disappointment was more massive than the BH when it was just "bonk" and that's it 😔

I start to play this game 3 weeks ago because of this vid. Its hard but i learn fast and every hour i played this it goes better and better... I love the music too

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

Hi, glad I inspired you to try the game! ive been playing for years and still addicted. Yes there is a bit of a learning curve, but stick with it, you will get there :)

[@defeatSpace]

You can fly straight through the smaller black holes in Elite Dangerous and you'll only get damaged by heat.

[@ampa-3612]

I think you might be able to go into it, but it would take crazy long to do that.

[@GamesCooky]

That's a very nice safety feature on your ship.

[@Rezorrand]

Couldn't you technically just head towards the black hole and start flying there with just thrusters (turning off the FA in case you run out of fuel)? I mean it might take almost a year (300 days or so at 460m/s at a distance of 40 ls but technically possible.

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

no unfortunatley you hit a barrier. your ship looks like its still flying, but it doesnt get any closer

[@LittlFoxy]

i was too high for that music brada

[@zechariahdymond4358]

Ok by far though, the most visually realistic black hole I've seen good job to the devs

[@dekuuchiha9990]

darn it, That would've been enough for me to go get this. Thanks for the experience

[@LucasDaRonco]

We need an update so we get something like Interstellar once you go in.

[@infamoushacker4chan883]

Was kinda hoping there would be an accretion disc and gravitational anomalies warning from the computer.

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

Yeah would be awesome if they woukd add at some stage

[@Gaming1Doge]

I wonder if you could do it in the new supercruise overcharge

[@redroyce4590]

Imagine if it somehow would slingshot you like thousands of light years away... Would be quite a trip.

[@deadsetanime7102]

Welp!!!, I'm glad someone did it already. Now I don't have to. Truly though, spaghettification would have been awesome.

[@Robbo511]

Not gonna lie, when I visited I was seriously tempted to do the same. But had heard it can damage you and wimped out not wanting to lose my data.

[@ENGCSHemangVerma]

It makes sense to make the black holes in the game this way. We don't no what's inside them and where they lead to, or even if they obey our laws of physics.

[@abelredonet8718]

I guess it will be awsome if the developers of the game introduce an expansion that allows you to travel to other galaxy due to the concept of the black holes... (please forgive my ignorance). That could be a nice of lot of content to the game, even some that only it's possible on Sci-fi movies, like time travel, parallel dimensions, unknown galaxy with an unknown amount of distance... but... hope that could change in a future

[@lennysmileyface]

Or the black holes could become white holes on the other side in a different universe.

[@andreinacio2798]

Black hole its a discrimination, its a Hole.

[@Nishirasu]

alledgely, there's an artefact at a planet named Raxxla that's supposed to do something like that. it is in a few elite novels, its a popular myth and people are still looking for it devs already confirmed its somewhere ingame, but no one has found it yet

[@buschmaster4600]

Those are LS (light seconds). Traveling just 1 light year at 1500c will take over an hour.

[@TheAngelArrow]

for a space game, taking out the dangers of space ruins the entire point of even having it in the first place 💀

[@amil7554]

Nice video! I'd love to see more!

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

Hi thanks for the comment! Feel free to subscribe, im planning to put together a few more :)

[@Thastlis]

I'm watching this for the first time without reading comments and I'm thinking this person poor ship but then it stops and I think awww that sucks

[@yoongilimerence]

The lensing shouldn't change when the camera moves around the ship. It would seem the game is rendering the black hole as small and up close, not at it's true size and distance

[@Raz.C]

re - 2:20 You said that you weren't targetting Sag-A so that the nav. comp. wouldn't auto-slow your ship down. Maaaaaan I used to do the EXACT same thing back in Elite: Frontier!!!! There were some missions you could do that had a time limit on them. The way Hyperdrives worked back then was, it would take one week for a ship to jump to the maximum limit of its drive. On top of that, you'd often reach a system 30 or 40 AU from the core planets, which would take another 4 or 5 days to reach. In this way, you could accurately work out how long it would take you to reach this planet in that star system, etc... Anyway, sometimes you'd get 4 or 5, maybe even 7 or 8 Military missions, all to the same destination!!!! So you really WANTED to accept them all, even though there was only 10 days left until the missions started 'expiring.' In situations like that, I'd jump into the system, set my nav.comp. to take me to the target planet and then use the 'speed-up-time' function to maximum. Once the nav.comp started decelerating, I would either turn the nav.comp off, or I'd UN target the planet, so that we'd continue speeding towards the planet at HIGHLY dangerous speeds!!! Once we got to within about 20 AU, I'd turn the nav.comp back on, target the planet again and engage the autopilot, then time-skip to maximum again. Half an hour later the autopilot would disengage, as I'd be in orbit above the planet I needed to reach. In this way, I was able to complete a LOT of missions in impossibly short time spans. Missions that would (in a normal military craft) take three weeks to complete, could be finished in 10 days in my souped-up Viper Defence Craft!!

[@SpaceHero-Elite]

Thanks for the comment man, unfortunately it didn't really work as I was hoping in ED :)

[@Raz.C]

@@SpaceHero-Elite Yeah, I saw. Incidentally, I think that the thing I just explained was an exploit. You see, if you used the autopilot and then set the time-skip to maximum, it was IMPOSSIBLE to crash. On top of that, the ship would magically be able to speed up or slow down, WELL beyond the capabilities of its engines, when you did this trick. I once tried landing on a spaceport on a planet with INSANELY high gravity. I thought I could control the descent, but it became impossible and I was soon out of control and being pulled at a sickening pace of acceleration towards the alarmingly approaching planet surface. When I was at about 75,000 feet, I paused the game, targetted a space station orbiting another planet in the same system, engaged autopilot and then hit maximum time-skip. Two seconds later (one hour in-game) I was idling about 7 km from the space station. I was even- apparently- able to fly directly through the centre of several stars while using this trick...

[@Metal464Head]

Nice video. The music is great. Gonna check Nihilore.
