Gliese 2026

[Sir Reginald Barthold III]

Two black holes and an O-type, 1094LY from Sol, and out of reach

I've made two attempts on Gliese 2026, first in my trusty Cob (Regie's Return) and recently in an Asp (Regie's Return II - I know, imaginative). I've not been able to get any closer than 45LY.

Is that it? Am I doomed never visit this enticing system? Or has someone else found a route?

Put me out of my misery, please!

It has been visited before. The Nav computer wouldn't let me plot a route from 1000LY away. In fact, I had to be within a few hundred LY before it would auto plot all the way to Gliese 2026. When I started the trip, I went for a system that was less than 20LY from Gliese 2026, so I knew I could make the final jump.

Much respect to both of you, Commanders.

May I ask what your jump range is? I was unable to plot a route, no matter how close I got, with a 31.6LY range.

My current load-out is here. 34.7 LY range with a full tank, over 37 when there's less fuel.
