Care for a Wormhole, Anyone?

[Roger Wilco Jr]

No matter what FD wants to call it, but as far as I see it, your FSD drive can generate a personal one-way Einstein-Rosen bridge minus the time-foolery. (for obvious ressons)
Farscape has some pretty cool thoughts on wormholes but the best graphical representation of wormholes and black holes are done in Interstellar.

For reasons unknown this targets the largest gravitational object in the vicinity of the exit point. A star.
I can say this, I had done thousands of jumps before that got mundane for game mechanics that's a good one.

Oh yeah, I forgot that you don't have to fly to a fixed location, duh!, so they really are point-to-point wormholes (in effect). In the original game, didn't you have to fly to a certain point to enter witchspace? I seem to remember in the PC game having a little purple/blue fuzzy ball that you had to fly to - or was that a different game? I'm losing it.

I still like the jump graphics. I'd rather have that for a few seconds than skip it. Btw, am I the only one who sees dolphins and mummies in hyper?

I don't know, I have only played the earlier Elite's very very sparsely before I had any passable command of the english language

The jump graphics are awesome, I love it still.
I don't know about dolphins or mummies, but for the first few months I was dead sure R'lyeh or Cthulu was going to leap out of the mists and eat me (still do)
