Ok seriously am i the only one who is super scared of brown dwarf stars?

[CloakerJones]

i'll be honestly nothing really scares me too much in games unless its a jumpscare. but for some ungodly reason whenever i'm traveling system to system and come across one of these huge ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ i lose my ♥♥♥♥ and try my hardest not to look them in the "eye"

I dont know what it is that makes them so intimidating. could be the fact they have killed me multiple times from no fuel to scoop or maybe it's the fact they are so dimly lit but some how give off this massive heat radius.

Whatever it is, in the end i do my best to avoid the things.

what do you think?

you guys scared of them too or am i just being a huge ♥♥♥♥♥

[Gralzeim]

Everyone has something or another that scares them, so don't feel bad. For me it's when you're underwater in a game and can't see the bottom.

Some fears aren't rational, don't worry about it.

[pyr0kid]

thargoids scare me. the idea of getting ganked in witchspace scares me.

[Fork_Q2]

Nope, I always put the throttle down during the hyperjump.

[Fenris]

Your not the only one. Brown dwarfs don't exactly scare me, but I do feel a little odd flying close to one. Probably the whole perspective thing that as mentioned earlier, they just seem much closer than they are.

Neutron stars on the other hand, I immediately point my ship in the oppisite direction and go full throttle. And yeah, I know all stars can kill you, but a neutron star sends chills down my spine lol. So I guess I'll never get the jump boost from one.

In games generally i am mostly scared of water, underwater, swiming...etc... weird because in real life i prefer water based environment than dry one ( im one of those people that enter the sea and dont come out for hours...)....plants in games....reapers in mass efect...jump scares... and black holes.
I dreadplants in games, probably because i am used to plants not trying to jump at me irl, and in games that does not have to be the case always.
Of the last two i am scared irl, jump scares are self explanatory...
But black holes, idk... i mean, if you theoretically fall into one, you would not even feel it, if the gravity rips appart your ldgs and spagettify you...the nervs would not be able to send electrical signals to your brain, coz that would be also pulled by gravity....so black hole death is pretty painless i imagine, albeit gruesome.
But still, they scare me, real ones and virtual ones all the same... even astronomical pictures of place that should contain a black hole creates unease ( cygnus x...or something like that system is called, google it)...btu, i read the other day that scientists are working with network of telescopes to get an actual picture of a black hole...i wont look at that when it comes out...
I think there is something in human nature that subconciously dredges up fear from black holes, i mean they are almost unnatural, they are antithesis to everything in nature everywhere...like its something "foreign".

And brow dwarves, i think that scare you because they are dark, dim, dangerous and basically they do a "jump scsre on you" with heat warnings and such.

I'm mostly scared of Brown Dwarfs because they like to occupy huge swaths of space. I call these "Brown Dwarf Deserts" and you can be hard-pressed to find somewhere to refuel at times.

The scariest entity in game to an explorer, is a binary star pair of such proximity, you run the real risk of dropping out of FSD inside and being instantly killed. Not sure if the exclusion zone has been adjusted, but even if it has, there's still a risk of overheat damage.

[Critterbot]

Close binary star systems are way scarier. Nothing is ever the same after your first one as you drop in and pass through them and almost burn up as you scramble to get away. I dread it on every hyperjump now. >:(

as for funky, when i said "heat radius" i wasn't refering to the safety indicator lol.
What i meant was the fact that usually, when i jump into a star i pull away from it as fast as possible ( usually a straight up 90 degree angle from where the star is ) and supercruise away from it with my throttle at maximum for about 5 or 6 seconds, then charge my FSD for the next system.

this works good for every star except brown dwarfs. ( probably due to what you described )

First time i came across one i did my standard maneuvre but it wasnt enough this time.

almost as as soon as i started my FSD my heat shot up to about 100+ with my dash lighting up like the sky on the fourth of july.

i managed to realize this in time to stop my drive and get as far away from the thing as possible.

I may have survived but little to say,it gave me quite the spook and i never made that mistake again. lol


If these things scare me, the i hope i never come across a black hole... or those neutron stars...

or a double/triple/quad binary brown dwarf system...

watch your speed, the faster you go the sooner you're save to jump, the closer you're to a star the slower is your acceleration as you know

a sun can still fill your whole screen and you might already race like crazy and this could drag quickly into trouble too

maybe someday you could have jumped between two of those brown stars :) disable the filter!

These little guys scare me a lot more. The way they rotate to track you, even after you've killed them.

Same... Ominous...

jesus i did not expect this thread to be revived like this. anyway to those of you who are scared of the things, the fear dies out. it gets to the point where you're going to come across tehm some time or another so you might as well just accept it. i have and now when i find them i just say hi and fly by.
