You wouldn't necessarily be mining the black hole... you could mine the accretion disk.

Even if you're just mining the accretion disk you'd be orbiting at relativistic speeds.

It'd be weird.

I am not sure here, but are't Devnulmod Monsters' planet cloaked and undetectable ? Sorry, did' play Devnulmod for long time.
I tried to make a planetary cloaking facility in SE4, but it wouldn't work.

planet cloaks work. either as a component or as a facility. it uses the sector site obscuration ability, and has the side effect of cloaking all ships and bases in the sector.

2. More sorting options for Planets. Add the sorting option to sort by atmosphere type. Example would be only show Oxygen worlds - uncolonized, colonized, etc.
You can actually do this - just sort by planet picture, and since the pics happen to be sorted by atmosphere and size, the planets will be too!

(This may not work with the ImageMod, though, as it adds some extra planets at the end of the list )

I tried doing that, but when I took controll of a race without any sensor tech, I could still see everything in the sector of the planet with the facility.
