The Official Elite: Dangerous Black Hole List Thread

[Oku]

I keep hunting for these things despite my first encounter ending terribly, and I can never find an actual "list", just people throwing off the same couple in response to somebody asking about them, so i figured I'd start a thread listing off the ones I know exist, and allowing other people to add the ones they know about to the pool. With any luck, this thread will show up on google and anybody looking for Black Holes will be able to find a really nice selection. (SUCCESS: Googling any form of Elite Dangerous Black Hole List will result in this thread being at the top or near the top!)

The ones I know about are as follows:


-HIP 63835 (3 black holes, around 200ly from Sol)

-11 Sagittae (1 black hole, around 400ly from Sol)

-HIP 100289 (1 black hole, around 300ly from Sol)

-HIP 28711 (1 black hole, around 400ly from Sol)

-40 Upsilon-2 Hydrae (1 black hole, around 250ly from Sol, also has a neutron star)

-HIP 19218 (1 black hole, around400 ly from Sol)

-HIP 47296 (2 black holes, around 400ly from Sol)

-HIP 103442 (3 black holes, around 1000ly from Sol)

-27 Gamma Cassiopeiae (1 black hole, around 550ly from Sol, also has a neutron star)

-Beta Muscae (1 black hole, around 300ly from Sol, also has a neutron star)

-Dabih Minor (3 black holes, around 270ly from Sol)

-HIP 18442 (3 black holes, around 650ly from Sol)

-HD 175514 (2 black holes, around 1100ly from Sol)

-Maia (1 black hole, around 400ly from Sol, inside the Pleiades Nebula)

-HR 1185 (1 black hole, around 400ly from Sol)

-HIP 37017 (1 black hole, around 400ly from Sol)

-HIP 34707 (1 black hole, around 140ly from Sol)

-p Puppis (1 black hole, around 200ly from Sol)

And of course:

-Sagittarius A* (1 Supermassive black hole, around 26,000ly from Sol at the Galactic Center)

-Great Annihilator (2 black holes, around 22,000ly from Sol near the Galactic Center)


I know there are tons and tons of others, but these are the ones I know about. I found a lot of these just skimming through the Galaxy Map, so some might not be discovered yet, although I highly doubt it given how voracious people are for the all-consuming anuses of the universe.

If you have any others, please share them here.

^ You can find a bunch of them in the denser star clusters near the core ;)

so easy to get lost but following the method of going to large blue and white starts to find black holes is not working out too well for me personally but they are building up my bank account. Maybe in future expansions they will add more effects and properties to the black hole. would like to see a black hole solar system :P

Go to Sag A* - biggest black hole in the game.

Just be prepared for space madness.

I believe with the 1.3 upgrade, black holes no longer cause the spntaneous combustion they once did, so the warnings about small black holes in the OP are now obsolete. Black Holes are actually now rather "safe"; you can fly well inside the lensing effect sphere and it won't hurt you. I flew right up to (like, 50km away from) the one in the HR 1185 system one jump away from Maia and my heat never even blipped. Got a nice screenshot of the lens with the Galactic Core behind it.

Of course, "realistically", my ship should have been spaghettified long before getting that close. Fortunately, Black Holes in ED emit no gravity while in Newtonian space.

Guys, thank you loads for bumping this thread - I was unaware of it when I made my post the other day about supermassive black holes etc. To the OP - thank you also for the extra information you wrote; it is really good information and you have helped make me want to take a trip out to see them and screenshot it . Cheers again, I've subscribed now to hopefully keep this one up and running quietly :D

PS - If I fly close enough to one, will I see the tip of my nose touching the screen? ;)

so..in order to scan black holes with the detail scanner, is it required most times to get really close to the black hole to where the creppy distortion affects start happening? :P

Not usually. Most of the black holes i've scanned have been far enough away that you can start to see that there's something not right, but you don't get the full on gravitational lensing until much closer. The only reason you'd be getting right up next to a black hole is because you want to see it.

I understand the list, but you are aware that you can find black holes by filtering the map? filter out all stars except non-sequence stars go about 14000ly from sol go up or down about 1100 ly and just hover over the star clusters, there are thousands of blackholes easily findable

okay, and?

While I'm here I got a great screenshot of one from it's exclusion zone.

My favourite was
Traikoa FL-P E5-4 nebula. (about 5k LY away?)

Saw it on map but never went - Eskimo Nebula

WAY OUTSIDE THE GALAXY
we have Cygni x-3 i think it's called, though you'll never reach it

trying to find one myself spent more than enough hours :P

[Boston]

I've never seen a black hole yet guys, this will be my first time - im nervous.
Are any of the black holes in the OP's list small ones?
I'd like to see a large (safer) one first, beofre i try my luck getting super close to a tiny, but just as dangerous one.

Thanks!

[Asshat]

Personally I haven't been to see any yet, but I assure you it is on my list of things to sightsee!! I am not sure that any of them are particularly safer than the others, and I believe it is a bit like flying to a station mailslot in that it gets easier with practice [please correct me if I am wrong guys]; I plan to go see one soon just to have done it, but then will take myself a discovery scanner and go on a tour of the ones that are listed above by the OP and other contributors. Let me know how you get on Boston :D

[ℛas]

Don't worry, unless you plan on boosting into it without stopping, there's not much you can do wrong!
