Has anyone ever circumnavigated....a planet?

Though, spaceships have capped top speeds, and SRVs don't - so people have got SRVs up to 1300 m/s with efficient use of the thruster - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-3lqEUbQY48&index=3&t=10s&list=LLaWKk6ItJKB7B1tCfRTjqAw

That and taking advantage of collision physics that were never designed to handle those ludicrous speeds.

Honestly, it's up to you, but other than bragging rights, you won't get anything out of it. If anything, I'd do it in my ship on a planet with volcanism; at least then it would be somewhat productive. lol.

Incredible. I have to try this out sometimes.

Contrary to previous comments on the subject, air time does speed the trip up, my preference for that is roughly 0.5 to 0.7 G's
the higher the G's the more likely you are to take damage and it gets harder to stay in the air as well as less likely to gain altitude so that you can gain speed coming back down
the lower G's make it to hard to keep control and don't really help contribute to descending speed
On such planets you can get the speed up to 50+ easily
and if you are able to bounce from ridge to ridge, averaging 80m high lifts...all the better. its also far more fun this way, rather than just cruising on the ground.
And if you bounce correctly you won't lose speed but are more likely to remain at top speed, kinda like skipping a rock across a pond, gaining speed boosts during decent as well as each time you bounce.
Its very doable with very little effort and taking no damage to the srv if done correctly.
I currently have over 22mm on my srv's...

Ya, but in the end, the rock sinks...............

41,000km would be mighty impressive.

A shade under 8,000km was more than enough for me

As you'll see, it took me 3 months to rack up the 130 game hours......multiply by 5. That'll be some real dedication and a heck of an achievement
Good luck o7
