Type-8 Transporter to Beagle Point

[SovereignWinter]

TL;DR – I took a Type-8 Transporter to Beagle Point, Sagittarius A*, Colonia, and Hutton Orbital as a tribute to those still on patrol in their Type-8 Transporters.

Ship Type: Lakon Spaceways Type-8 Transporter
ID: DSV-16
Name: Capricornus (Scarab SRV: Callsign Algedi)
Build: https://s.orbis.zone/qR5Z

From 2024.12.29 to 2025.03.11 I took a Type-8 Transporter on a journey to some of the more famous remote parts of the galaxy. I dedicate this trip to those who are no longer with us, last seen in their Type-8 Transporters.

I started this trip by picking up 1 ton of Lavian Brandy, 1 ton of Hutton Mugs, and set a course into the black. From the bubble I headed towards Colonia and stopped at Jaques Station. After a brief respite I worked my way to Beagle Point. At the edge of the galaxy, so far from home, I jettisoned my libation. To those we’ve lost, to those ships still on patrol in the void, Godspeed and enjoy a mug of brandy on me until you find your way back home. After taking a moment of silence, I started my way back to the bubble by way of Sag A* with a stopover at Explorer’s Anchorage to stretch my legs. I finished up the trip by swinging by “The View” and docking back at Jameson Memorial.

Trip Stats: 1594 jumps; 165990.3 LY.

Godspeed CMDRs, I’ll see you out in the black! o7

It could be fun to go to Beagle Point with the Cobra Mk V.

It can get a surprisingly high jump range when optimized, 71 Ly, although it might be better to have a second fuel tank in order to raise the amount of fuel to 32t, in which case the jump range drops to 66 Ly when fully refueled, which is still pretty decent. (The reason for having 32t of fuel is that it's actually faster to travel that way using Spansh, as you need to make less refueling stops, so even though you have 5 Ly less jump range, the fewer refueling stops more than make up for it in terms of time.)

Could perhaps do the Bubble -> Sagittarius A* -> Beagle Point -> Colonia -> Bubble diamond route, quite doable in four sessions (or even two, if you have the extra hours of time).

Already planned but I'll probably stick to the Bubble > Colonia > BP > SagA* > Bubble route I've been doing for the fleet. Just a creature of habit I guess.
