Creative Use of Black Holes

[General Hawkwing]

Good ideas! Warping thru a black hole would be a risk and only worth it on a huge map that would have unclaimed systems by the time such tech colud be researched. Time travel - well it is sci-fi. Destruction - pity for the crews, hahaha.

There is already a "create black hole" tech in the stellar manipulations tree. And a 'destroy black hole' too! As for those "special uses", they might be interesting additions when many, many other things are completed. I rather like the way they currently work, and would rather see some additional stellar types added. What about neutron stars, for example? These are different from black holes. And stars marked "unstable" should actually throw out storms, not just randomly explode every now and then. More details like that would make the game more interesting.

I suppose it's rather irrelevant to this discussion of game mechanics, but I just wanted to throw in that I adore the black hole graphics.

Baron M. more space variables would be great and I agree they should be done before any changes to black holes.

I like the variety (and risk) black hole systems add to the game. I like to play with the option enabled that places wormholes ANYWHERE in the system, rather than at the edges. Sometimes, this places the wormhole jump points near or INSIDE the event horizon of the wormhole. Makes exploring a little more risky. Especially when you consider that not all worm hole sleading to blackhole systems are the "damaging" type wormhole.

Yes, you can make and destroy black holes. Very entertaining. (The king is enjoying the day in his imperial palace, just hanging out with his harem and stuff, and suddenly! boom! the sun darkens, and the Last thing the king sees is the enemy forces laughing their asses off.
