Elite: Dangerous, Beta Lyrae, did they model the gas exchange?
...This binary system (in real life) has like... four stars in it...?
No sign of the accretion disc or gas exchange though. :/

@Soreth booooo :(
@starkatt Well, traditionally this system crashes Elite games, so I guess this is an improvement? Still disappointing though.
@Soreth glad I didn't go 3kly out to UW Canis Majoris, then.
Might be worth petitioning the devs. Accretion disks and contact binaries are super cool.
@starkatt Yeah. I kind of want to go out and visit all the contact binaries now, out of protest.
Elite: Dangerous, Beta Lyrae, did they model the gas exchange?
Yeah, they just... removed the second star. There's no contact binary happening in this system at all. No gas exchange, no accretion disc, no torus...
Alas.
