    Well since Starbound has a lot to do with space i have been thinking about black holes that there could be a small chance to encounter one when traveling to your destination and that if your ship isn't powerful enough to withstand its power then you get sucked in and end up in a random location or perhaps a second dimension where you have to repair your ship and escape the black hole.
    Lots more comes to mind but i will listen to what you guys have to say first.

    That could be interesting.
    I wonder if it would be OP if it sucked in planets.

    It would probably be OP... unless the planets actually went out again through a WHITE Hole! (I read it somewhere, there's a theory where black holes are an entry to a wormhole and whiteholes would be the exit, or... whatever). But seriously, if plantes could be sucked (at a slow rate) and be replaced somewhere, it would rock.

    I think this would be a cool idea, but it would suck if you ended up somewhere with OP monsters and stuff.

    The hole your reffering to is called a Worm hole :)
    A black hole sucks you in and squashes you until your nothing, while a hypotical Worm hole bends time and space and allows you to travel to the "Other" side of the universe in just seconds.

    Its still a very good idea, i hope this will be added :D

    Haha, silly me... But you still got what I meant! Worm holes would really be a good way to increase exploring tension... What could there be at the other side... Well... Try and go in!

    Yes, tought the danger of Worm Holes is that they always "Move" and you may end up in a different location then when you entered it last time.

    Which makes them even funnier, am I right? :D

    haha, you would never know where to end up and maybe end up in a dangerous sector would be so awesome :)

    If you're on a planet that's in a system with a black hole in it, the black hole could serve as an environmental hazard. Maybe you can explore the planet for only so much time before the planet is consumed by the black hole. As an incentive to exploring such a dangerous system, the loot that's found on such a planet has to be considerably rare, even unique to such a system. Such unique gear could have unique stats and abilities from being warped by the gravitational forces.
