Unfortunately you can’t do that on Sagittarius A*. Would be cool to have someone fly into it and watch a video from the inside and see the player on the outside slowly shifting to red.
It makes sense in-universe. The Frame Shift Drive is hampered by sources of gravity which is seen when you get mass locked by larger ships or space stations, and why you can move faster the farther out you get from the sun. Trying to fly directly into a black hole overloads the FSD and so it throws you out of supercruise far enough away that your thrusters can’t get you there.
At least this is the way it works when approaching stars, I’m pretty sure black holes behave the same way.
That would be great! It starts off with a computer voice, warning you about high gravity damage and increasing pressure. The klaxon siren start going off, the hull begins to groan, maybe some pressure leaks. All the while you are trying to fight the ship for control, while plummeting towards a fiery death.
Turn it a Mini game! if you win you get to escape with a little damage. If you don’t…
They should let players explore gas giants.
You get sucked in to the gravity of it, pulled towards the centre and crushed. You dead, explorer.
Elite does this just fine. Go ahead and fuck around, you’re the one finding out.

My graphics card is screaming at the thought

Kind of ironic since the calculations for the hyperjump require large gravity sources IIRC.
I hope there’s a white dwarf deathspiral lol

Achievement: The Titan Challenge
The moon of a gas giant, or the submarine
same result!
To be fair, the surface pressure of Titan is the second most hospitable in the solar system, just 1.5 bars.
If that sounds fun to you you should check out Tin Can!
Or get flung out in an incredible gravity slingshot! I’m down for that mini game
Isn’t that how the Enterprise saved the Whales?!
Sling my gooey coffin through the celestial landscape!
In the very upper atmosphere you could have some sort of floating city.
Fuck it, make a city in the nucleus. You can only visit it if you somehow survive the absurdly high pressure and temperature down there.
Maybe, but I haven’t played the game. Is this a thing in it?
I feel like this is a Star Wars reference, It seems unlikely there will be one in Stsrfield, human made at least
Oh I know it’s a Star Wars reference, but I don’t see why another franchise couldn’t use the idea.
