Debating whether to try to record the run. Debating whether I have enough HDD space to try to record the run.
Just to say, I'm pretty certain my PC has neither the capacity nor the grunt to capture my own journey to Sag A as video but what I'm planning to do is use an AutoHotKey script to grab a screenshot every few minutes which I'm then going to string together into some kind of slideshow/timelapse of my trip.

you are nuts on toast mate!, im not going back again.You know what would be crazier? That we'd wing up and then start synchronizing jumps

Yes.
THIS:
That is the Saud-Kruger
It can jump a maximum of a little under 19Ly.
I cannot yet afford a Fuel Scoop that will fill it in under about 50 seconds.
She currently has no name, but I am tending towards "Guru Meditation"
Painted it purple because I could not get metallic pink with sparkly blue dolphins & rainbows on it. (No seriously, thats what my copilot wanted, and I did promise her).
I'm thinking of having the entire flight deck replaced with an inflatable bouncy flight deck.
It steers exactly the way you would expect an inflatable jumping Coriolis Station to steer, but it has a surprising clip of speed & acceleration, which is very useful when running away from things.
The ship's computer makes an enormously pleasing 'BONG' noise when you hit boost, presumably to warn passengers of impending acceleration; hence my idea about the entire inflatable cabin (I've now decided to fit the entire suites out as inflatable too, not just the flight deck. Safety first!)
Don't worry FoxTwo, despite the colour it has no Purple Space Babes aboard, but if I attract any I'll send them your way.
You would have to be insane to want to fly something like this to Sag A*, but you will be very, very comfortably insane.
I like being comfortable.
Well, if you're really lucky you'll only need about 1500 jumps to get to Sadge. I sure hope you have some breaks planned..
Its the marathon equivalent of 2 blokes in a camel suit. I like your spunk.That is the Saud-KrugerGin PalaceOrca
Beautiful...
Aw come on, you could at least have let me get home first!well, that was close.. check the big board update laters alot. surprise for you.

I take it you agree with me now that the 7A will make a difference, then?
We'll see about thatyou are nuts on toast mate!, im not going back again.

Pimpin' Ain't Easy..
But no one said you had to make it hard for your self either
cant remember disagreeing, it was the only way I could get an advantage lol. if id have used the 7B with a 16 id have been closer to my 32 tank time im sure.I take it you agree with me now that the 7A will make a difference, then?
pretty sure if you give it a go you could get at least 30 minutes off. maybe more.

Well, it'll be a while before I can afford the 7A scoop, but I'll give it a go once I can.
Once I get home, it's all about whichever 78UM / Alioth community goals are still going
youll smoke it chap ive no doubt. I only worked out half way through I could basically get a full tank within the cooldown if I burnt my console. so I should have done 20 minutes better at least.Well, it'll be a while before I can afford the 7A scoop, but I'll give it a go once I can.
I hate it when the sun doesn't show its danger radius immediately. I had 2 emergency stops.. and hit the rack exiting galileo.
did that say 10.73 ly jump range
, I think weve found the one sitting bbra run ship that could kill the pilot in reality right there. you've got your sensors and your fsd the wrong way round.. or the right way round.. depending.

I don't know if it was meant to be but that was hilarious, is it too late to update the blooper real?
P.S. huh ... I'd been led to believe that you'd fall into a massive bookcase if you tried that :-(
i dont exactly know what you mean by that (i'm german, sry, people say we have no humour)

It's a movie spoiler, or it would be if I said which movie, so I won't

Purple! I like purple. Also, is it just me or does that angle make the ship look like a sex toy to anyone else?
Edit; stupid PG filter

There was a word missing there I think, perhaps deliberately...
I know what it reminds me of... Might need to get rid of the fins though! EDIT: Yup, guessed correctly

I'm guessing you've never been on bad dragon.... some, interesting, things on there...
(I shouldn't need to say it, but very NSFW)
Also, why did no one tell me you can just put 'source' into the route planner to get it to center on Sag A*?

Perhaps not get rid of the fins entirely then, but I maintain that an unmodified Orca would have the potential to cause some serious harm.
You can also type "Sagittarius A*" to get it to centre on A*, it just takes a bit longer.
