Day 13 - Super Cruise 1.00h - 65,647.34LY from Sol

Rocinante reached her maximum cruising speed.. now hours and days to pass to see any progress

Thanks a lot.. looks like I missed the sandwich.. maybe next time ;)
That's my fault. Have played very little during last week (business trip and, well, Subnautica...). :(

The sandwich is stored in the locker and waits for the next occasion. It's with a blue cheese, so should develop nicely until this time. :D

lol fuel barging your way into the black...

1.24t/h is gonna be some time!


do you have to come back? or is it a one way trip?

Well, I need just 0.6T to jump back to safety.. I have to be very careful with the super cruise fuel tank though, because if it sips in a wrong moment.. I am done...
In general it makes no sense to keep on going to destruction.. I am planning on coming back :)

Blue cheese is yumm.. I am more concerned about the bread/bun :D

so with 464T on board that's.... ~374 hours of supercruise

Or 15 days... soooo 8th of October? I hazard a guess 1hr gets you 0.2LY so my guestimated distance from sol would be 65,722.14LY

or using some other maths... I get 86.61LY so that would take you to 65,733.95LY from Sol

if indeed you had 464T on board :)

which brings me to another point... it can be beaten, I reckon you could get 158.3LY away from the star using a different ship which would break the 65,800LY barrier but would take you 28days solid to get there.

I aint got time to spend a month in supercruise though... or have I??????

#1 according to my calculation you are very close, but let's not spoil the surprise.. I am doing it 3rd time, so I have also my own formulas and "space constant values" developed based on my own experience
#2 I know about the ship.. not because I am that smart but because one of the best pilots of the galaxy advised the same almost a year ago.. you will see the very next expedition right after this one, it won't be Rocinante anymore.. this is her last duty for this challenge.. but I am going to do it.. even if one last time
 
Day 16 - Super Cruise 76.50h - 65,665.00Ly from Sol

Ohhh boy.. long hours. I am trying to occupy my mind with some thoughts just to pass the time.. nothing constructive. Well, I started analyzing if the wires hanging up there bother me.. or not at all..

I genuinely don’t know whether to tip my hat or call for help on your behalf. I don’t doubt there’s some permanent ‘space crazy’ damage sustained on a trip like this...and after three of them, but I wholeheartedly admire the ‘because it’s there’ attitude this game brings out in so many Cmdrs.

Your epic trip and the crazy Cmdr in charge will be in my thoughts as I continue my own maiden voyage to Beagle Point. I’d like to think I could push further but I’m in an unoptimised Krait with little engineering and far less experience of deep space travel.

Good luck and fly crazy (albeit very very slowly)
