Neutron Star density
As I close in on Sagitarius A, I find it strange that neutron stars are becoming more scarce the deeper into the core I go. It seems like around the edges of the core there are a lot of them, and inside there's hardly any. Is there a reason for this (like astronomically) or is it just RNG?

I guess that it's down to system density, if a nutron becomes a black hole at around 2.16 solarmasses it might be that the mass of the close nutrons causes more blackholes to form instead?

I've been looking for non-main sequence stars and haven't seen many inside the core.

There was a spot just outside it with tons of them. Maybe that was just an unusual spot?

that's a tricky one....that filter only shows the MAIN star in the system. A lot of times the black hole is the smaller companion star in a multi-star system which won't show up in the filter. Hopefully some of the upcoming exploration tools will address this.

There is a void that crosses through sol and is about 413+ly

interestingly enough thats where we have the most "real" data so its likely the model used to generate the galaxy is wrong-ish

yeah lol, I think its funny like the devs made a big x marks the spot as if to say you are here. Wonder if it is done to stop ppl disputing the realism of the gameengine, lore or faults.

....like all those 2mass clusters

are you saying It's just down to recorded data from 2mass? like an axis of rotation from a point of observation, creating blind spots?

no....im saying you have those 2mass clusters that comes from observed data in the middle of generated stars and it looks totally different so observed data doesn't match the generated data.

and they're all in a cone pointing at Earth because thats the point they were observed from.

I wonder how differnt it is, if they took a guess from set data and just warped it with time being a variable or they worked out the bubble and just rng the galaxy spurs and put in some points of intrest.

theres a video on youtube regarding this.

they actually generated the galaxy using a model and then plugged in observed stars on top.
