Longest distance traveled in a system?

I just went 350,000Ls to explore a third sun and a few icy planets, what is the farthest you've gone?

This comes up from time to time, and it makes it clear that not very many people bother to start exploring our own backyard before going off into the expanse.

As all new Elite pilots should, I suggest you check out Hutton Orbital next door in Alpha Centauri.

That's just cruel! :D

Yes, but you get one of these when you get there!

Yea, that's big distance. It took me near 10 minutes to travel 350,000 so I don't even want to know how long that trip would take.
 
Somewhere around 450.000-500.000 Ls - it was a star with few interesting planets. Took me about 15 minutes, IIRC.

Aint gone to Hutton orbital yet i guess. That's 0.22 LY

So something like about 0.22*365.25*24*3600 = 6 942 672 LS

I think i heard this was not even the furthest.

I was in Hutton Orbital. Twice. 0.22ly.


Proof.

What is the point of locating stations so far out? There are no significant price differences on trade items that would make the trip worthwhile.

You have not seen the rare item sold at this station? Took about 40mins to get there.

Make a note of some ruff times and distances I have done:

100,000ls = 10mins.
233,000ls = 11mins (Odd)
633,000ls = 18mins

oh yes I do like exploring :)

I once did a bulletin board mission to Pinzon Dock in Dea Motrona. That was around 1,800,000 ls.
The bonus was I found my first rare goods for sale there - Motrona Experience Jelly.
I believe Hutton Orbital sells rare goods too but at 0.22 ly distance from the nav beacon I won't be going there anytime soon.
 
One of the rares around 39 Tauri is from the Geras system: Gerasian Gueuze Beer from Yurchikhin Port which is just over 1,000,000Ls.

Max allocation is 24T which is quite high for rares.

I went there.

Once.
