Sag A with 100% Hull
- Thread starter Whiterose
- Start date
Yeah I reckon it's possible - just avoid White Dwarves and piloting when "tired and emotional" 
So I was 10,000 ly away from Sol, 100% hull...Will hit Sag A* eventually in the next weeks...all cool and dandy...until I stupidly tried not to overshoot a planet I was scanning....
Turns out there are some very faint rings, you don't see until too close...
99% Hull now. Grrrrrrr.
I know I can make it there and back to civilization with no further damage...but still 99% is not 100%...fml

I arrived there at 100% hull / systems. Not too hard, you just have to pay attention and zero the throttle after every jump.
The way back was a different story, I got so bored of the endless jumping that I started to watch movies in parallel. This got me speeding into neutron stars quite a few times, and I almost ran out of fuel twice.

Hmm, what about a danger run: Sol - Sagittarius A* with 1% hull. Now THAT would be an achievement for the ages... and careful, the big one in the middle is a bit more voluminous than one might think...

I made it with 99% hull too, I only made the one mistake... I expect, unless something goes drastically wrong, to repeat the journey back not making another. But I don't think it's because I'm an especially good explorer, I just didn't randomly roll any nasty systems. The worst I've had has been appearing between two stars earlier today;
But zero throttle and just making sure I turned around 180 and moving out before leaping to the next system kept me safe. Sadly though now the core refuses to plot even a 2 jump course, where as my final run at Sagittarius plotted 600ly instantly... I have plenty of time then to up yet!

I thought I was going to do it, but I wound up flubbing a jump into an asteroid belt and took 2%. If you can do it, my hat (and shoes) will be off to you, as supreme CMDR of safe flying!
And, if you can, then I'll say "now make it back."

No, I always end up doing something stupid on the way, and usually spill my tea at the same time.
Note to self, don't drink and fly.

I suppose if you don't muck about and plan every jump carefully and stay focussed, it is possible.
Not for me, since I'm not carefull, cannot stay focussed and love to muck about
Yeah, I start getting curious and playing with fire. Though I'm 35k Ly form Sol now, and still at 90% I've spent too long trying to see how close I can to the wrong sorts of objects. In the name of art, you understand...

Things that have got my ship into trouble:
England v Scotland six nations rugby
Reading v Bradford FA Cup replay
Atletico Madrid v Real Madrid Champions League first leg
Alcohol.
Same my friend, same....drinking and exploring are a dangerous mix.
I find when you start having to close one eye to read a star type its time to retire for the night.
