I’ll give that a try. Thanks.
A neutron star in Sigma-19? But… but…, why? (just curious) -
Not yours, Capt.Morgan’s.
Bw07 = Sigma19
-
OK, I guess I understand. The neutron star effect is being added to one of the suns in Bw07? I thought a Neutron Star (like in O41) was being added and wondered about the backstory behind it.
-
This is for the Broken Bonds mod, which is a total conversion mod. Our bw07 isn’t Sigma-19 at all.
We threw the effect onto a star, rather than a vanilla neutron star. The vanilla neutron star looks absolutely nothing like a real one, so we weren’t going to use it.

If you happen to know what a real neutron star looks like up close, I’m pretty sure there are some physicists who would love to speak with you about it.

So the Freelancer Neutron Star may still be an option, although some light won’t hurt it.
Anyway, suit yourself. I’m not gonna force you to do anything.

Well considering the age of the game you might be surprised at just how similar the neutron star and it’s effect are to an animation they created in the recent series wonders of the universe on the bbc. Watch this.
-
Neutron stars aren’t black, please. They’re stars like any other, and are bright enough to blind you, just like any other.
The BBC video makes them black so you can see the rest of the features, but in reality (and in the visible spectrum), any star, no matter the kind, is pure white.

Really depends how you define ‘Star’ there’s a lot of post-main sequence ‘stars’ that are dark, or don’t emit visible light. Also, IIRC, many stars burn blue, red, and a few other colours. It all comes down to heat.
-
No. All stars are black bodies. They are all white.
The color you’re referring to can only be seen through the edge (the lens flare, essentially) of the star, but the actual surface will appear white to any observer looking through the visible spectrum (ie humans, most animals). It’s not because it’s called a “brown dwarf” that it looks like a flying turd; it’s just less energetic than most stars and thus won’t be quite as bright, but it’s still white. Same goes for any star.
-
FF is right. The star’s energy level decides it’s color (blue is the strongest).
You see the star’s color only under a filter (Earth’s atmosphere for example) of ambient gas. The thicker the filter is, the more colorful the star is.
Just a fact: Did you know a sun is a living creature? -
More details please?
-
Do you really know the definition of a life form? Sorry, the sun most definitely does not match that.
Please don’t spout more nonsense.
-
no, it doesnt.
if you look at the basic forms of life, down to bacteria, the sun is vastly less complex in its make up.
So lets examine life. Life at its most basic is a cellular formation containing organs (hence organism). On this level, the sun immediately fails.
The sun is a ball of hellium, hydrogen and carbon.
There are a few things we generally associate with life -
Metabolism, Homeostasis, Response to Stimuli, Reproduction, Inheritance.
Metabolism - Here, the sun passes the test. Usually, living creatures convert light or chemical energy into other forms, and there’s no theoretical reason why a living being couldnt be powered by nuclear fusion.
Homeostasis - the regulation of an internal environment. Examples include your body’s ability to maintain internal body temperature by sweating. If the sun gets too hot, it expands, slowing down nuclear reactions and cooling it off. However, this is not a reactive measure to protect the Sun, it is simply an automatic interaction of particles in the sun, heat causes objects to expand (without getting too deep in the science), and then when the sun inevitably cools off a bit, it contracts. It’s a cycle.
Response to Stimuli - every living thing will respond to a ‘poke’, IE, something that changes their environment, be it an actual poke or something similar. Stars do not. They just keep on keepin on. So here, the Sun fails. It will not act in self preservation or anything of the like.
Reproduction - The sun cannot reproduce. The closest thing is that a star can go nova and it’s remnants may POSSIBLY be used in the formation of other stars, but this is not reproduction. If i break up a large boulder, it becomes smaller rocks. These rocks may come together over time and, under pressure, become a new boulder. Is the new boulder the offspring of the old one? Not in the least.
Inheritance - EVEN if you went to the extreme that nova-spawned stars are the sun’s offspring, the new stars receive no inherited features. The new star can be completely different from it’s ‘parent’ star. There is no mutation, no evolution
Although a star DOES -appear- to metabolize, it is not alive. The sun is a complex interaction of plasmas and nuclear fusion and magnetic fields, but it is not life.

Enough. Just enough.
Get back to the topic. If you post again to say such idiocy, PolarBear or whatever you want to be called, I’ll just delete them.
