Flew within 1.1?  of one doing around speed 18 or so against AI, pretty close call... but the campaigns' just starting, give me time  :police:

He-he... I did.  My trusty DD+ had me half way between the great divide and I got too close... max'd out speed, but the uber slow acceleration of the F-DD did not break me away from the black hole's gravity well....

Fell asleep and hit a planet on a survey mission, but no blackholes  ;D

I've been having  lot of fun using the black holes to swing my ships around but other than actually touching the graphic(0.0) I haven't been sucked in yet.

sank my first ship in a black hole the first day, about 2 hours in.  The ai fell into the hole right after me, but I still lost my ship.  Got to watch another ai later that day fly into one, first time seeing that.

Four Darths and only 1 Fed.  I think it must be those Helmets.  Guys they may look cool and intimidating but if you lift the visor once in a while you might not fly into so many things. 

Except Darth Sexy PLEASE keep the VISOR DOWN!!!! 

P.S. Darth Sexy wearing the Darth Helmet with the baseball cap just ruins the effect.

Ok so today at work I read this title and think what a looser and didnt even read it =-= today I get home from work get in a 1v1 with Mrouge both flying CF's after two passes I have a small lead =--- I am using the f1 view and see this black hole -- i Bob and weave to avoid Mrogue -- and fly to close to the hole and poof  my ship GrabageScow goes into the hole ===

Oh but wait

Then get in a battle with Darth Hertz and DarthRed --- manage to get out of a hold == flying around this black hole and going to get off the map after that -- they break away so as to not get to close to the black hole -- all of a sudden I am being sucked into the hole -- ya see I hit the Emergeny Stop button and well -- err my second ship of the night (called BlackHoleHunter) found what it was looking for --

Ahhh the joys --
Just a few stupid errors by a Klingon flying FED --

Enjoy

Just as an update to my last post about going into the black hole twice -- well lets make that 3 times in the same night -- was in a nice battle vs Die Hard -- was using the black hole to manouver and angle my ship -- GOT PUSHED INTO THE BLACK HOLE -- gg DH

so is that the new record? 3 black holes in the same night -- way to go Duck
