I would like to introduce the idea of an Blackhole instead of a Sun (twin, supernova, etc...)
How it could work or be implemented:
- The Blackhole does not do damage like the Sun.
- The Blackhole has a border like the Sun which marks the area of the Blackhole.
- When entering the area of the Blackhole the Ship gets pulled in closer to the center of the Blackhole (like as we know from gravity beams).
- When an Ship cant escape the gravity anymore (e.g. mass & thrust, im pretty sure you can calculate it much better then me) it becomes an Wreckage an freezes at the position where it is at that moment.
- Ressources inside the area of the Blackhole will be removed.
- Crew inside the area of the Blackhole die.
- Wreckages that get bumped into the Blackhole (e.g. by other Wreckages) will be destroyed. (i dunno if this is possible)
How it could look:
I imagine that it looks like a Sun doodad, so it has an big border around itself and in the middle (the center) there is an object (the Blackhole).
I generated an image of an blackhole from topview using.... bing copilot :V
but it looks very like i imagined it, would be nice to have an animated version of it.
The image shows the center object of the blackhole.
