Nice work Alec. You have a new idea for a race right there

This is an important moment in racing history, so the race organizer is not going to DQ entries for failing to submit exact fuel evidence, and instead apply judge's penalty of an effectively full tank. Besides Alec, you got it backwards. Pilots are supposed to burn as much fuel as possible, not as little. CMDR <-lightspeed-> did the same.

I think you forgot to account for the weight of recently added shields.Thanks! o7
Actually I knew I was supposed to burn lots of fuel which is why, at the start of the video (even in my drunken state I might add) I attempted to select a system just inside my max jump range. Which brings me to a question. Why wouldn't it let me jump there? If I've got a 31ly jump range for example, can I not jump somewhere that's 30ly away? (even tho the route plotter might suggest taking 2 jumps to get there?).
P.S. you're dead right tho', I completely forgot about all the fuel evidence screenshots (all I sent you were 2 shots of the fast ring clock, 9m45s apart ... pretty shoddy really, I apologise)

As noted, the race is being extended through the 19th.
Will be out for a couple days. The little one decided to show up a couple weeks early.

Many congratulations!Will be out for a couple days. The little one decided to show up a couple weeks early.
If you use s small enough fuel tank you don't need to navigate very far away, and could easily do it with the sidebar nav menu. In the Viper I only went about 11 LY each way I think. That way you can avoid the galmap entirely.Many congratulations!
Good news on the extension to the race, as well, since I'm finally back in the bubble.
Bad news is that it often takes my desktop PC about three minutes just to open the Galaxy Map. Maybe I should risk my laptop... there should be time to get a run in before the GPU gets too hot...
In that case:If you use s small enough fuel tank you don't need to navigate very far away, and could easily do it with the sidebar nav menu. In the Viper I only went about 11 LY each way I think. That way you can avoid the galmap entirely.
Finally another sidey! Luckily I've got an Adder up my sleeve if you beat me!In that case:
