This is a really solid format for E:D videos. It's focused on a specific topic ("look at this system") while also being a very open format - we're kind of just watching you play, seeing what you find interesting and how you investigate it. It's a great balance between specificity and serendipity!
Listening to you calculate how this system could even exist was pretty cool. I've gotta say that was a highlight of the video, really puts the stellar system in ED into perspective. The realization that Elite does a point light generation...that seemed a little farfetched that you didn't know that already, I'd heard that years ago... Very cool vid though.
WOW!! You found a star(Sun) with a ring around it. That's amazing. I have been playing ED since it's PS4 release in 2017 and never found that. ED exploration is really rewarding with patience. Great find.
We are doing a deep space expedition now heading towards Beagle Point. When we were on our way to Colonia we stopped by these site in my FC The MGX Observance. Such a cool experience.
When I was in that area I liked to stop by Sacaqawea Space Port. The moon is tidal locked so the gas giant it orbits just sits there off the same side of the port, although the rings change as the moon orbits at an angle to them. The real fun comes when the star moves to backlighting the gas giant and it changes colour... sometimes you get an eclipse, but if you don't you still get a great view of the gas giant. A few times I've just sat in an SRV parked on top of a building watching.
When I explore: red dwarf with icy bodies When other people explore: ringed neutron stars and black holes Seriously, I thought the system generation was templated. I had no idea something like this was even possible!
There's a lot of amazing sites out there. One of my favorite things I ever saw in the game was a gas giant planet that was on its side and elongated because it was too close to the star.
Amazing video, this shows us what ED is really all about, you cant do that in any other game. Once fdev start fleshing out the space phenomena found in ED and give us access to the rest of the planet types, there will be infinte exploration fun to had.
This is late, but I recently got into this game and this is one of the places I grinded an explorer anaconda for. Only knew about it because of this video. One of my all time favorite systems
Only thing I can possibly think for a ring system around a star would be that it's a 'recent' development. Some celestial object around that star got shredded in the last couple million years, or enough debris is accumulating to finally coalesce into a celestial object of its own. But, what could have shredded it? That kind of thing doesn't just happen without some crazy gravity games going on. And, if the star is 12 billion years old, then everything around it should be basically settled into a celestial body or the kind of asteroid belt we've got here, no? Maybe the black hole orbits have something happening there, because if anything can shred a celestial object it's a black hole, but it didn't look that way from the orrery. And then all THREE non-black hole stars have that kind of ring going on? Yeah, this is one crazy place! :D
That is a great system indeed! Will have to visit that when I head out in that direction again (There is a nebula I discovered that is absolutley filled with white dwarves and neutron stars somewhere in the area, I want to chart it)
I used to play the old version (Amiga) The best system in that paid you to take away their refuse. Which was Gem Stones Was almost like a free money cheat, but intentional placed there.
I think the sound at the end is the sound that the jet cones make as the matter and energy wizzes past you at near the speed of light, if that's the noise you mean... I've noticed this myself tho it's definitely pretty interesting, if you try flying along side the cones at half throttle it gets louder. Thanks for the video man, I'll be visiting here myself!
Since they introduced the Night Vision idea, I fly everywhere with it on....everything becomes visible, even ships hidden near a planet's dark side. That asteroid ring around the star would have been lit up like a Christmas tree.
Late by several months, but neutron stars have small exclusion zones, where white dwarves have large ones. Thats actually how you tell them apart before you scan them. -the more you know.
Very cool. I just started Elite this summer. I'm engineering a Krait to explore myself. If you can link your build it would be greatly appreciated. Always interested in how people equip their ships. Great videos!
I’ve been in the black for almost 2-years straight in my Beluga (since 17 DEC 2018). I’m going to have a nice payday once I return. Very cool system btw.
Did you have any specific goals, like were you looking for anything specific? I wonder what have you found out there... I'm still out there in the black, but only since May 2020 when I bought this game (with short stop in the bubble to do some engineering after returning from Sagg A and Colonia)...
@@TheCzechmate007 no specific goals. I figured I’d stay our for a few months seeing whatever I could see. It just turned into “one more month,” and before I knew it, it was over a year later. I then came to the conclusion that it’d take something big for me to return, and now, that something big is Odyssey. I’ll start making my way back very soon.
@@bodazaphfa Well, If you were busy scanning stuff, my estimate is between 15 - 30 billion credits... I brought my ship back to bubble for engineering after 3 months out in the black and to turn in 1.8B credits worth of data took me like 30 minutes... You can only sell one page at a time... Expect to spend at least an hour or so... :-)
Just a theory, but the disks around the lightest bodies could be matter being ripped from the body that is falling into the accretion disks of the black holes. Nice catch!
I know ingame it's called a white dwarf, but white dwarfs dont have cones, those are all neutron stars. Also, a white dwarf would instantly eat all that matter if it had a ring lol
Noticed this a bit in your videos but you tend to use star system one level down. A star system would be a group of stars orbiting something (or each other). So the second system you jumped into had a star system orbiting the black hole and then those stars had planetary systems around them.
Just mapped Byua Eurk Ci-0 B50-0 , It has a planet only 1.88Ls from the main star, and the planet has a 0.2D orbital period, pretty cool to see, its so close its within fuel scoop radius
12 MILLION with and M. The universe is around 13-14 BILLION with a B years old. 12 MILLION years old for a star is quite young. Most become part of the main sequence around 10 Million years old.
@@Pegaroo_ They're probably from a country (like me) where they use the comma as the decimal separator. Which actually is the majority of the world. It's confusing
As you were discussing the single point light source effecting the asteroids in the star's rings, I kept imagining Elite Dangerous with ray tracing :drool:
All the time. Don't get me wrong I think they have done an amazing job an modelling the the galaxy. It is THE reason I stared playing Elite and a contributing factor to why I still enjoy it (as this video hopefully shows). But yes there are plenty of impossible system out there and i love it when I come across them :-)
Awesome. I have seen a System with 2 Neutron Stars both with rings and one black hole around that place. But, mea culpa, I missed to catch the name of the system. :(
I think the blackness of the rings has to do with the main star being the sole source of light in a system and it being a black home, there is no main might source. The sub planet oriented stars don't generate light.
Class M stars are red dwarfs aren't they? So a 12 billion year old Red Dwarf is still a baby in terms of lifespan. A baby among a bunch of ancient dead stars.
I never get tired of the Elite: Dangerous "o7" :) it's something that's ours and I never see it in any other communities, not even flight Sims. I can say "oh-7 brother," or something like that to a fellow Commander and only we will get it. I love it.
The manotony of exploring will turn you into a train spotter, (Star spotting) only the number changes! Then may be, one day you find something not that interesting. If you found that interesting! go see your doctor. Yes i have plyed ED, and explored , soon got very very tedious.
The size of this game just blows my mind and the think we are going to get graphics updates in Odyssey ......... lol Elite feet bla bla new graphics :D

Yo dawg I heard you like star systems so we put star system in your star system so you can explore while you explore.

9:35 Also the big red triangle graphic in your upper right message board "BODY EXCLUSION ZONE HIT" should be a dead give away.
If you go to 32 Cassiopeia you can find 17 stars and 10 have rings

Yeah would be nice to see more like that exploration of weird things in Elite
If base building were ever to be available in Elite Dangerous, I'd like to have my own little tiny space hut in that system. It looks so beautiful!
Thats just No Mans Sky
I'm still very new to the game. Only been playing about a week. Looking forward to having experiences like this.
Goodluck!
Make sure to bring your ship of choice and equip it well, you'll probably never return...
dont forget the fuel scoop matey o7
Elite is a great experience

This makes me want to do a legit exploration once again!
Impeccable upload timing. I was on my way to Colonia and i just so happened to be in the Skaude sector. So i headed to the triple ringed star system.
I used to play the old version (Amiga)
The best system in that paid you to take away their refuse.
Which was Gem Stones
Was almost like a free money cheat, but intentional placed there.
ive foud that if you scan the anomalies while they are reacting you get extra info in the codex.
now that's a weird system with 2 black holes and 3 stars with asteroids xD noted
Thats awesome! I can't wait to get out there a do some exploration.

the last neutron star sounded like it was emitting the murmurings of the souls of the damned.
I bet that star in particular is haunted
edit: if > of
Systems like these are why I enjoy exploring!
Great find! The sound at the end..maybe it's the rings making the sound?
Try finding something this cool in star citizen
you will but you got to wait another 50 years
This was AWESOME!

when it is dark this way (the rings), i tend to use the night mode.
that sound at the end is an awful lot like the hyperjump "voices"

This incredible! I gotta go here
Amazing system Astro. 👍🏻
I was just there the other night! I've been trying to get a video record of all the known anomaly types.
The audio at the end. Gravitational Sheering on your Ship?
hmm. could be
I've heard those harmonics near neutron stars before
If you drive through the neutron star jet stream you gain a crazy boost. try it out
