Lowest jump range ship taken to colonia?

[Bigmaec]

~22 Ly reactive Python once to leave her there.
Was no fun.

I took a 17ly Python to Sag A* for the Buckyball A* Challenge in 2015.

Did it in 18hr 56mins of continously jumping.

My condolences

The worse part was I had to come back, I was a newish player and didn't want to lose the expo data. Took me weeks to return.

A 30 ly Corvette was as low as I've gone and I spent a lot of that time questioning why. The rest of you are just nuts (meant in the nicest possible way).

25ly mining Python back in the first days of Jaques' out there. The journey of a thousand jumps...

I want to say I was at just under 30LY in a Keelback. The Neutrons helped a lot but that was way more jumping than I ever want to do again.

Oh now, see ... I love the Sidewinder. One of my favorite ships.

A fully engineered Sidey is an awesome EDO ship too.

14 LY corvette full of materials to repair Jaques Station back when it was found. Back home it had 16 LYs with an empty belly.

Just out of curiosity what is the lowest jump range ship you have taken to Jacques, and how long did it take you?

I remember back when Colonia first started. Hell of a problem that was. Station all busted up and malfunctions all over. I decided to help out with repairs by takin' 240 power generators in an old, used, pretty-well beat up Type 7. I say used because I found all the left-over food capsules on the bridge. Smelled like it was used, too. Jump range was 13 ly, unengineered, minimal shield, class 2 fuel scoop. Loaded things up and left for Colonia to do my part.

After my second jump I decided to switch on the FTL radio and tune in to Hutton Orbital. The last owner had listened to a different station, all Country AND Western. Apparently, he heard the promo "Turn it up...And rip off the !" and followed their instructions to the letter. Once it was switched on there was no way to turn it off. I swear if I hear Willy Nelson singing "On The Road Again" one more time I'll bust the first head within firing range.

Took me three weeks, seven nights per week, three hours per session, including refueling to get to Colonia. It was a 2 week CG and I got there a week late. Bought some earplugs for the trip home. Sold that type 7 after accidentally taking a hammer to the radio once I got back to the bubble.

Swore I'd never do that again, by gum.

A 15 LY Python loaded for the Repair Jaques Station CG when they were still deciding what they wanted to name the area. Took around maybe a week and a half playing a couple hours a day or so, though I think I did pull an all-nighter toward the end there just to make sure I made it in time for the CG when it became more obvious that it was going to end early.

Same here, only I didn't realise it was going to end early and arrived just after if finished! Sold at a loss......

Then back to the bubble in a stock Cobra Mk3.

I was lucky keeping a tab on things, working with SEPP for the CG.
I'll toast to your efforts if Jaques ever gets me the drink he owes me...

You can do it on a ship with less than a 1ly jump range. Take a ride to Colonia on a carrier.

Lowedr jump count is dependant on RNG and lucky rolls maximising your enhineering
