Yep. I already have plans for doing stuff in EVE then. Kill a few afk miners, kill a few gankers ganking the afk miners I'm killing, kill a few auto piloting ships and pods. You know, fun.

Only time I ever got a dolphin to overheat was when I put in silent running mode for half an hour.Good luck, have fun! The Dolphin's heat management is so good that you could get away with not having a heat sink launcher. I just did about 130,000 ly round trip in a dolphin without one, and even when I purposely parked between close binary stars and charged my frame shift drive I don't think I ever got it over 100% heat. The trick is to remember when you're back not to mindlessly just charge your FSD near a star and start cooking your other ships
I am under 15,000 light years from Sgr A. Movin right along.
That's some speed 
I'm only 11400 LY from where I started though. I doubt I'll get too much further today. I'm starting to get tired. I'm hoping to get to the midpoint though, or at least so close it doesn't matter.That's some speed
11k in a day is a good distance - don't push it too much or you'll burn out, which tends to end badly.
Presumably you know there's a station nearby in Stuemeae FG-Y d7561 (Explorer's Anchorage) near Sag A* (f you don't use the Fleet Carriers that are no doubt at Sag A* itself)

Nope. Had no clue. But now I do, so that's awesome. I'll dock up there and rest my brain XD.
You can use eddb (https://eddb.io/station) to find stations - plug in your current system as the reference and it will tell you the closest ones (there won't be many out there). If it's a fleet carrier* then be wary as they have often moved on (unless they are DSSA ones - they don't move).
Most (I think) are on the path to Colonia, so there may not be any near you until Sag A*
* There's an option on that page to include FC - off by default
13083 LY's to go. Honking every system as I pass. jammin to Godsmack and other less savory musicians.Hey, can we put our own music into the game instead of the music the game provides?
We have been asking for a media player since forever - never had a response from the devs though. I did find a VLC player skin that overlaid the HUD but you need to run borderless for that and at the time Elite ran my GPU at 100% in that mode so I binned it.
Voice Attack can play media though - even internet radio - I have not played with that for years though. No doubt some VA wizard can help you out there.
Mission Critical Update: Currently my ship is operating at nominal capacity. I have had one incident that cost the life of a passenger. The failure of an Inertial dampener in jump. We are currently 9,175 light years from the core and there has been no signs of civilization for thousands of light years. My other passengers were understandably upset about the demise of one of their compatriots but understood that there was nothing that I or they, could have done to prevent it. Prior to jumping again I initiated a full system diagnostic on every component of the ship that I could. The diagnostic came back with an error in a power transducer on the inertial dampener of cabin 7. All other systems were operating well into the green.
The Dolphin is a sturdy ship, and my passengers (other than the one who died) are enjoying the ride coreward and the stunning vistas we have seen, We hope that our arrival at the core will be within 3-4 days, sooner if my need for sleep can be reduced by that universal stimulant Coffee, which we have an ample supply of. In the mean time, we have put down on a small planet so I can do some critical maintenance on the computer system that has been slightly glitchy the last few hours. I may have to swap out to my second backup if the stores don't have a compatible board I can swap in.

You're taking passengers? Makes sense in a Dolphin I guess If you do have passengers (and are new to passenger missions) it may be worth NOT visiting any stations before you get back - some are sensitive to being scanned and will get unhappy. Some major sense of humour failures have been occasioned by passengers rage-quitting on being scanned after long journeys ....

He bailed. I went on to do the rest of my journey. Now I specifically look for anyone saying they have issues with being scanned, and don't pick up the mission. These guys onboard came on In my home base for a one way. No time limit, delays don't bother them. laid back, etc. So my cabins are full, and (i'm just rping about them for the lols).You're taking passengers? Makes sense in a Dolphin I guess

Ah, too late with the advice again if you lost the General Long passenger missions are a bad way to find out the ways they can fail, RP passengers are indeed a better idea!

The other issue with getting scanned with passengers on board is that so many of them don’t tell you that they are wanted for serious crimes such as Jaywalking and if spotted by security they and the ship they are riding in will be destroyed.
This is why the Dolphin is a great passenger ship, with its heat capacity you can boost in and out of stations in silent running to avoid scans.
It is also another excellent reason for me to not bother with self loading cargo.

LMAO!
Eject! Eject! Eject!
I am currently 4,746 light years from the core. I hope to put on another 1000 light years before I have to sleep.
