It's not THAT far out of the bubble (420ly to nearest station). But yeah, I suppose you need some kind of jumping / scooping capability. Look at it as a challenge for outfitting!
Speed run will start around 8pm game time

Cmdr over and out
So with excitement and my heart beating I arrived at the co-ords to attempt my second run.
Ship: USS Janeway
Type: Asp Explorer
Relevant Engineering: 4A Thrusters with G3 Dirty Drive Tuning.
Speed: 4,603
4.6k In An ASP ? Nice work cmdr ! You'll be able to hit 5000+ if you lose some of that fuel I reckon !
this has nothing to do with planet’s rotation.
To the OP — great idea, I like it
To those trying to figure it out, here’s a thread I made 2 years ago about something similar I did at another high-g planet, with a video. The basic technique is to set throttle to full and find the angle at which your ship will keep accelerating fastest. The angle will change as your ship’s speed increases.
We should probably add a second event for those in the bubble at Achenar 3 - Fancy getting that one organised for the speed merchants who need a station nearby ?
Ship hit that planet afterwards the shields held but it didn't survive trying to leave the planet
Anyone got a video of their run?
You mean you Bounced ?? ? Type 9's are seriously tough...
Nice Effort Commander !
slight bounce and landed upside down it was when I tried leave mass lock and enter supercruise I got distracted and the ship lost the fight against gravity and crashed
