No one expected 'The Spanish Inquisition'!
Quite possibly the
second Orca to ever make it to Sagittarius A*, certainly the
slowest, is now in orbit around the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Galaxy.
Flight time was a positively ridiculous
36 days, 0 hours, 17 minutes and 34 seconds.
If you ignore the days, that makes it the fastest trip ever! Hey, this
Bast Snake Gin is really good with Elderflower Cordial!
Yes, race fans, that is
6 tonnes of alcohol,
1 tonne of Onionhead to get through. The tonne of wind chimes is for the chill-out afterparty; and to leave buried on the moon of a life-bearing Earth-like planet to really screw with the sapients that will one day evolve there.
Ladies, gentlemen, others, inflatable life forms, heck even
Thargoids... the party is now in session, and will remain so until the alcohol is all gone.
As a great man once said:
"Unpack Rachel and break out the puncture repair kit!"
Some stats for those who love stats:
Average jumps per KLy:
65
Jumps per KLy <10KLy from Sol:
75
Jumps per KLy >10KLy from Sol:
59
Lowest number of jumps per KLy:
57
Systems visited: not sure yet - likely around
1,700
Number of re-plots required:
0 why? see below...
Best jumps per KLy was found at
coordinates Galactic X -400 Galactic Z -150 (Galactic Y being the distance from Sol). On this course I found that I completely avoided the dreaded Aucoks, and was beneath what appears to be a sheet of sub-M class stars (ie, rubbish) that stretches nearly 12KLy towards the Core. I suspect records could be broken following this path rather than a shortest-line run to the core, as I was able to do less jumps per KLy along this path.
Hull Condition: 94% All due to accidental Frame Shift drops or running into stars due to pilot inattention. My copilot can be
very distracting at times.
