Assuming FS2 even took that into account. Probably not

Maybe.... remeber the second (I think Bosch cutscene), where the black hole was drawing off the matter of an orbiting binary star?

Maybe the Capella nova was being used to somehow 'transport' the mass oif the second star? (if you subscribe to the black hole = super node theory).

Or, could the pull of a black hole be sufficient to move the second star? If jump nodes are gravity based, as I think they are (not sure), then maybe this could reconfigure them / form new ones?

Nah, not overlooked, but we figured that out a long time ago and since it didn't have much bearing on the problem.....we ignored it.

I think that's correct, the tech database mentions that an intrasystem jump requires the presence of a strong gravitational field.

...But what I'd like to know is just how these jump nodes just conveniently happen to connect to one another to form a nice network of passages for us to use.

Just a thought about how they connect here.

If you look at weather, for example, a high pressure will always fill a low pressure zone. The black hole is the "high pressure" and somewhere else you got a "white hole" which reacts like a low pressure, where there isn't much of gravitationnal force, and thus, with the Capella stars, as we see it in the cinematics, it is the G6 star that goes supernova, so the G2 star is not attrated to the G6 gravity, the black hole "sucks" it up, the G2 star goes through and stops at the "white hole" exit and stabilize the gravity and generates and jumpnode.

I'm not astrophysician but I'm a weather guy.

Parallels are abound. A weather guy is a good guy in my books

Uh.... I don't mean to be offensive or anything, but this doesn't make much sense.

who said it was supposed to.

Makes a sort of sense to me.

It's kinda like an "every action requires an equal and opposite reaction" thing, right?

Dunno if it would go exactly the way you are describing SGT_R22eR, but you've got an excellent point there. As you said, high pressure always fills lower pressure, filling up a pressure gap. A hot object always transmits it's warmth to a more cold object, thus filling up a temperature gap. An electron travels from negative potential to positive potential, thus filling up an electric gap. There are countless of examples of the same thing, found everywhere from normal life itself too. Called enthropy theory it is, the universum's eternal goal. Transferring of the different aspects of space and matter towards low-energy, homogenious state. I couldn't find no reason even in real life why it wouldn't happen in gravimetric fields. That would be unnatural.

Heh, reminds me of a debate I've had with a number of physics teachers. Currently, the science has two strong points telling us what is "future", what is the direction of time. We know that we're going towards what we call future, when 1) overall enthropy grows (in other words, objects move towards homogenious state) and 2) the universe expands, according to physicists. What I asked was how do we know that these two things aren't the same? How do we know that the universe doesn't expand to fill a gap in unknown matter, space, or something else? How do we know that the projected slowing of the expansion isn't caused by the increased gravity in the universe at all, but rather because getting near of reaching a homogenious state with something else? None of them gave me straight "yes" or "no", just ignored the subject. Well, that's what all scientists do

I just use Stephen Hawking's "rubber Sheet" theory to explain it a bit.

At HLP they supply shotguns as standard equipment.

I thought it was the Subach

Though I guess after a number of years a few Proms could be dug up.
