Editing VB-Black Holes (section)

== Mechanics ==
Each black hole is rated from Class I to Class X. The pull of the black hole is equal to 1000 km/s multiplied by the class, so a class IV black hole has a pull of 4000 km/s. If a fleet has a speed greater than the pull of the black hole, then its speed is reduced by that pull, but it can otherwise function normally. A scout ship capable of 4500 km/s moving through a system with a class III black hole would move at 1500 km/s instead of its normal speed. 

If a fleet has a speed less than the black hole, then any orders are ignored (although not cancelled) and it is pulled straight toward the black hole at a speed equal to the black hole pull minus fleet speed. A fleet with a speed of 3200 km/s in a system with a class VI black hole would be pulled toward the black hole at 2800 km/s. On the system map, this pull speed is shown as a negative, so the aforementioned fleet would be shown as traveling at -2800 km/s.

When a fleet enters a black hole, all the ships in the fleet are instantly destroyed and leave no wreckage or life pods.
