Before Neutron Start Jumping, Engineers or Jumponium were a thing the record for Sag A was about 8 hours. With those 3 things it's way way lower. The OP's post is impressive but not beyond belief.

EDIT

144 Jumps! My commander in a fully laden Cutter that's heading for Colonia right now can only dream of such figures, that's about 3 K LY's for me.

Current Sag A* unlimited record is 2 hours 45 minutes (https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...esents-The-A*-Challenge?p=5313205#post5313205). 140 jumps in total. Lots of time lost on that run to silly mistakes and it wasn't a fully optimised loadout as I was using my explorer ship with ADS, DSS, shields and SRV so it could have been somewhat faster. Since I did that run we've got lightweight sensors which adds another 6+ LY to my ship and it should be possible to get down to something close to 2 hours 15 minutes.

If you hit it perfectly, got the neutron boost every single time with max range, you can do it in [21800 LYs to Colonia] / [Jump Range x 4] = number of jumps, [number of jumps x .75 minutes per jump ], is about 1 hour and 15 minutes theoretical perfect time.

You can't possibly do neutron jumps in 45 seconds and an average of 65 seconds would be really good (I averaged 67.7 seconds on my Sag A* run). Also you need to make refuelling stops which can take some time and the jump from that system isn't going to be neutron boosted unless you happened to find a NS system with a scoopable star sufficiently close to it. Also need to stop and repair the FSD every 15 or so boosts.

I suppose jumping from neutron to neutron isn't possible right? Cos of fuel scooping.

Yes, it is possible and that's what most people do when neutron surfing. Start with a full tank, keep jumping neutron to neutron until your tank needs a refill. :) Mind you, more often than not you'll find a gap that you can't quite cross without using another star type, and that can work out as a fuel-stop.

Cool. I gotta try it. I've only done one Neutron jump so far.

Thanks

The man said it so it is.

I've done 5hr : 30mins cruising along with the odd bit of scanning on a 50ly Conda so this certainly doable on a more optimised ship.

Allitnil - what tankage do you use? All those stops for fuel add up. I used 32T+16T but I feel 32+32 (or more?) might be better in terms of ly/h.

Simple math: 21800:106 minutes = 205,66 ly per jump. With neutron highway you can easy jump 230 ly per jump. One thing is you need to have prepered route before you going out. Looking for neutron stars sometimes is time consuming.

I went with 32+32 which seemed about right. I might try and run some simulations before my next run to see if there is a better amount, but as long as jump ranges keep increasing with every update there doesn't seem too much point in trying to optimise things to the nth degree.
