Elite Dangerous - The Scariest Neutron Star I've Ever Seen!

[@DDRMANIAC007]

I think this video got picked up by the algorithm. Answers to some stuff I've seen in the comments: I know it's actually a Pulsar but the game refers to this star as a neutron star so that is what I named the video. I have 7 heat sinks because this was before you could synth more of them. I only had what sinks I brought with me. It doesn't tear me apart with gravitational forces because of how the FSD drive functions. It bends and moves space around you. This is also why the drive is affected by the star and takes damage while also becoming supercharged. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask!

[@zombies8cody]

In case anyone is giving you grief over pulsar vs neutron star: both pulsars and magnetars are neutron stars. Magnetars are neutron stars with even stronger magnetic fields compared to other neutron stars(~30 have been discovered so far), and pulsars are the ones that have the beams of radiation shooting out along their axis(overwhelming majority of neutron stars are pulsars, with approximately 3,000 discovered). And there are some neutron stars that are both (only 6 discovered so far). TLDR: pulsars are neutron stars; most neutron stars are pulsars, so you can pretty much use them interchangeably.

[@aurorajones8481]

Well pulsar's are a TYPE of neutron star. There are lots of variants of neutron star. My favorite would be a Magnatar.

​@@flipflop4396 The one you're referring to is PSR J1748−2446ad and its a standard neutron star. Magnetars do not necessarily spin faster they just have intense magnetic fields compared to a normal neutron star. They are short lived in this state too, they stabilize after about 10,000 years becoming typical neutron star.

[@PsueidoEpic]

neutron stars that spin at extreme speeds are known as Pulsars! And they are extremely loud due to the materials they release.

[@vgernyc]

I wish it was a true Pulsar where it spins on its side resembling a lighthouse. They should also add Magnetars too! Either way still an interesting find in ED! Anyone know if SGR 1806-20 exists in ED???

[@KogaTora25]

vgernyc system search "Jackson's lighthouse" it's a neutron near the bubble. Hyper-jumping there is spectacular

[@Prometheus2508]

They spin due to conservation of momentum. As radius shrinks due to matter intake, rotation increases to preserve momentum.

[@NetworKrakle]

You know, it would be cool if those pulsars would just fire up your FSD and launch you into some unknown system. That would increase the risk factor of them!

[@PreciselyTuned]

Nah, I'd rather have that staying longer in the cone hypercharges your fsd for 9x the range because supercharging is 3, so 3^2 which means a 50ly conda can go 450ly.

[@TheReconSpecialist]

I actually would love that to have a 5% chance, and it doesn’t drain your fuel due to it, not your ship, being the launcher. So you could end up around 200ly away from it in a Engineered Conda and have to stumble your way back

The terrifying factor also comes from the fact that things in space are incredibly slow, so these sights look really unnatural to surrounding environment

Not everything in space is incredibly slow. Most of the time it just appears that way because of how big everything is. For example, Andromeda is hurdling towards us at around 110km/s, but because of how big it is and how far away it is, it appears to be motionless to the naked eye.

[@gacker209]

The earth spins quite quickly, it’s just too big for us to notice movement without equipment.

[@lolomgwtfkaya6066]

@@gacker209 It’s because we are relative on Earth. Nothing about equipment, anyone in a spaceship not orbiting the Earth would see it spins quite fast, but due to the spin being constant and not having any acceleration we don’t feel any speed, and feels rather stagnant. Kinda like how airplanes don’t feel like they aren’t moving despite moving at 500KM/H

[@gacker209]

@@lolomgwtfkaya6066 top comment says it moves slow, presumably because we don’t perceive the movement of the cosmos with the naked eye.

[@interior.imperial1]

Okay, so for those of you who don't know, neutron stars are created in essentially the same manner as black holes, via the collapse of very large stars, many hundreds or thousands of times the size of our sun. During the collapse, the core of the star is compressed so much that it will either collapse indeffinately into a black hole, or collapse into a neutron star, depending on its mass. If the mass of the core is between 2 and 4 solar masses, it most likely will collapse into a hyper dense body, of which is only about 20 kilometers across, but weighs between 2 and 4 suns! Some neutron stars can spin unfathomably fast; the fastest ever discovered spins at over 700 times per second! Many spin a few dozen times a second, but the older they get, the slower they spin due to entropy. The reason why they can spin so fast is because they retain the momentum of the star they once were. During the collapse, the star (as well as the core) spins faster and faster due to centripetal force. Their surface can reach up to 1 million degrees kelvin, and their surface gravity can be trillions of times that of Earth's.

[@noahluppe]

Just fyi, Kelvin is just Kelvin, without degrees. It's °C, °F, K. Otherwise thanks for the information

[@benbooth2783]

Mostly correct. Star's can't really get bigger than 250 Solar Masses. Population III stars (the first ones) may have been able to get up to 300 Solar masses buts that hypothetical. The reason is because of how energetic the core gets in massive stars. The size of a star varies greatly over it's lifetime and primarily depends on two things (both due it mass), the inwards force of gravity vs the outward force of light from the core (where the fusion happens). If a star becomes too massive the core becomes too hot and efficient at fusion and the outward flow of light becomes so intense it blows the star apart. The largest star we know of is BAT99-98 in the Large Magellanic Cloud with a mass of around 226 solar mass. Normally, specifics of star formation prevent stars of over 150 solar masses from forming. Ultra-massive stars above 150 SM are thought to be created from star mergers.

[@lolomgwtfkaya6066]

Mostly correct, but the mass is wrong. Neutron stars are the collapse of the Cores electrons and atoms fusing into neutrons, the outer star is burst outside in a supernova. This means, most of the stars mass is loss, and a neutron stars real mass is 1~ Solar Mass, not 2-4.

[@Austin.D]

For me its not scary as it frustrating trying too master the super charge as you constantly drop out and have to wait for the cool down and then not entering the cone at the right angle and being thrown out of it and have to re enter it at the right angle

[@LAZYNOOB-jf1oq]

Before you try it, there's a few things that you need to know. There are a few videos that explain the ins and outs of these guys and the two videos of my attempts include me explaining them as well (my videos are uploaded livestreams that last almost always 1hr long so if you don't care about my attempts/reactions then you're better off watching a quick guide. But if you're going to give them a watch they are near the bottom of the Elite Dangerous playlist somewhere around episodes 30-40 and the first one begins with "TRYING TO" and I can't remember the rest and the second one is "FSD SUPERCHARGED") To Supercharge your FSD you need a Fuel Scoop (I made the mistake of not having this in my first attempt in the video referenced above), if you've never used a fuel scoop it's fine, there is nothing you need to do or look at or even make note of with it, merely make sure that you have it on your ship. Neutron Stars and White Dwarf Stars are two different things (they look the same and function similarly but White Dwarfs have a bigger center star and a much bigger Exclusion Zone, if you need a comparison open two YT tabs and look at the one in my video which is a White Dwarf and compare it to the first one in this video which is a Neutron Star) Neutron Stars are apparently much easier and safer to Supercharge from and yield a bigger jump boost than White Dwarfs. The reason why White Dwarfs are harder to Supercharge from is because the best and safest way to do this is by NOT going in at a right-angle like I did, you want to go in at an acute angle. Fly away from the star (I would normally do this out of instinct but I wanted to Supercharge for bragging rights) and above the cones and gently dip your ship into the cone. This is the reason White Dwarfs are harder to Supercharge from, their Exclusion Zone makes this a lot harder because if you get to close to the star you are dropped out of Supercruise and apparently (I've been fortunate to never have a first hand experience) get absolutely flooded with death from all sides and theoretical 4th dimensions.

Swinnish Official You can actually get rich really quickly if you follow a bit this system: Go to Cleve Hub in Eravate and take on Boom Data delivery missions to make small easy money until you get the Eagle ship. This will make Interdictions easier (when someone says something in the top left sounding slightly scetchy like "What's in your haul?" or "Surprised you msfr it this far" it means they are going to attempt to try and pull you out of Super Cruise to try and kill/rob you. When your ship suddenly has loads of blue and white around it as if you're going in to Hyperspace, you are being Interdicted and must try to keep your ship aligned with the Escape Vector which is a black circle in the centre of the screen). Continue to do these Boom Data delivery missions until you get the Cobra MkIII where you should amass 100K credits and begin trading for the big numbers. On the mission board, select Eravate School of Commerce and look through the Industry needs X amount of item missions. This is where the Elite Dangerous Tradepad is essential. The Tradepad is an app you can get on your phone (maybe there's a website, I don't know) and you can use it to find a defined amount of an item at the nearest station. I usually set my maximum Jump distance on the app to 40 light years in the Commodities section and you can leave your Minimum Landing Pad Size at Small in your Cobra MkIII. Input your Origin System and Station into the app and select the item you wish to purchase and the amount of it you want and whether you are buying are selling. The Tradepad will find a station that sells it. Be careful which of these missions you take because some of them will take you 50+ Light Years away. You should always research the mission first, like where you have to go and how much money you think you'll have to spend to source the items. Start with 100K and go for the missions with 200-300K rewards. After a few of these missions you'll be amassing a few million credits but you want to stay away from Wing missions until you're in a Type-7 Transporter which I think costs around 10mil (I think). Get around 5mil MORE than however much it is and buy the ship. Buy a few Cargo Racks and now you're ready to start thinking about doing Wing missions, even alone. Once you have at least 100 Cargo capacity start looking into these Wing missions. I think you can take it from here but if you have any further questions. Ask away because there's a lot to understand in this game

start bounty hunting, its pretty fun. In the beginning just go from system to system and look for a system with lots of gas giants with rings. Theres likely mining extraction areas. Go for the most hazardous ones and make sure you have nothing in your cargo and dont pick anything up. Try to find the cops patrolling the system and fire on the wanted ships only after they start to. If your brave you can scan for them, attack them, then run directly to the cops so they can finish it off. Once you get decent credits buy a cobra or viper and continue on. Eventually you can work your way up to a vulture and you can start hunting the big fish.

Ah yes, the ultimate nooby trap in ED. I like how it's always mentioned that neutron stars can superpower your FSD, but they fail to me tion that not all neutron stars are the same; I got caught in one that was impossible to escape and just sat in frustration as I wa slowly torn apart.

[@tannerarmstrong1496]

I've always loved the neutron star boosting mechanic, but i think there should be more mechanics for interacting with specific star types. I've always thought they should add a mechanic where some black holes are actually wormholes that connect to a different equal mass Black hole at a different spot in the galexy thousands of lightyears away. Even if it was a rare chance it would alter exploration significantly. Explorers could map out black hole super highways as more wormholes were discovered. I think traversing them should be a supercruise mechanic similar to evading an interdiction, with dire consequences if you fail. Ideally frontier wouldn't tell just us what black holes are wormholes and we would have to locate and scan them to see if they were wormhole candidates and then traverse them to see where then other side is. The wormhole mechanic would also open doors for future game expansion by adding an intergalactic threat that forces open a wormhole from their galexy center to Sag A. Perhaps a more advanced civilization sensed wormholes being used as a means of transport and views anyone using that kind of technology as a potential threat that needs to be preemptively eliminated.

[@Justalilsilly]

I like how your first thought was to supercharge your fsd. You must have really been in a hurry to think to yourself "if I die, I die"

[@brianviktor8212]

These neutron stars would have gravitational forces strong enough to rip a ship apart if it were close like that. And the rays are much longer in size, and would be more devastating than flying into the corona of a star... which would be deadly as well, given the sum of all forces (heat, radiation, gravitation) that would affect the ship and the passengers.

I found one of these within my first 3 hours of playing. I knew what it was and I didn't know what would happen if you flew into the cones (because it's radiation you know?) So I just took some pictures and got the hell outta there. Such a beautiful sight.

[@crowsenpai5625]

It's radiation and can fuck the he'll out of your ship if you enter them at the wrong angle, especially if it's a light craft. But with a fuel scoop they can also funnel it in and supercharge your FSD to give you super far range for your next jump.

[@memekip555]

This is giving me flashbacks to an event in stellaris you get when you survey a pulsar.. *those were not fun times. Let me know when the leviathan has been defeated.*

[@HeyYouYouAreFinallyAwake]

Those are actually way more safer than regular neutrons. You can supercharge further from the star since the cone is much bigger.

On the Odyssey expedition, the carrier I was travelling with arrived right next to one of these. Several of us undocked to explore before the next jump, and didn't give the star too much thought as it just looked like an unusually big one initially. Only upon returning, and targeting the carrier did we realise that it was only just outside the exclusion zone. I eventually managed to redock by lining the carrier up in front of the star and slowly approaching from that direction, though several others decided to bail and catch up at the next stop.
