AngelRipperSomething wierd just happened to me, at around 13h30 (Hour of Paris) in the system Wolf 397.
I was travelling between planet Trus Madi and the star, when the following happened: my eyesight began to tremble, the stars were moving in the sky. After a few seconds a black hole (not the celestial body, a hole black) appeared near the star. It must have been very tall and far because I was going quite fast and is wass looked like beeing at the same distance from the star. I couldn't select or analize it. There where light particulescoming from it, very similar to the animation of the fsd when we jump from a system to another, but I didn't saw anything going out from it. The whole event lasted something like 10 seconds.

I've not played a lot since a while, so I've no idea if this kind of event is normal, related with the Thargoïd threat maybe.
If any of you has any idea of what this could be, thank for your knowledge.
(btw sorry for potential bad english).


i've seen it a couple of times last week , near Kamadhenu...i guessed it were FSD jumps...coud not be scanned indeed......made a screenshot of it:

i guess you mean these ones?

I put a bug report in aout this months ago. I believe the word is that if someone in your Instance is interdicted, you get the weird star pattern appear on your screen too.

Not convinced it isn't a bug though...

Can pretty much confirm it happens when players are in the interdiction game.  Only time I or anyone I fly with have seen it.

Yeah that's what I saw

Wreck of the missing Federation battlecruiser mentioned in Galnet recently has been found 111 light seconds away from The Oracle in Pleiades Sector IR-W D1-55.

Well, it's a sight to behold for sure! Impressive to see a fleet like that wiped out in formation.

I will never know why, but I bought a eagle for the CG,

may main reason ( ithink) is because it only cost 35'000 (ish) to replace,

That and I named it 'ol snake oiler' on account that i'll be killing a ton 'o snakes and stuff

Geez, at least it was worth it, got a good 15000+ bonds for one life

i found the eagle to slow in killing (only small hardpints, an no PA possible) and hardly no def...

a good cheap solution is Imperial Courier....good shields, and medium sized hardpoints....in fact i got 2...a smuggler at 820km/.h and the fighter itself at 747 km/h

I actualy cant afford nor do I have accsess to that ship

unfortunately, but the eagle is a decent cover for me, and I also had a fed Corvette as a target, which was good,

but like, I'm realy bad at this game and ive just come back from getting bored

It's fun fitting an Eagle with a multicannon on the nose and twin missile launchers on the wings. Turns it into a speedy little fighter jet.

Granted, you're not sticking around in a CZ very long unless you farm mats to resupply on the go, but it's a lot of fun.

I do not remember, but two factions entered a pending state of war by equalizing their influence. Can war be avoided during that pending state by creating a differential during these 3 days of pending through trade?

No. Once a state is queued up as Pending, there is no stopping it from going active.
