Rule 1: Pillage. Then burn.
Rule 2: No such thing as overkill, as long as there are reloads.

Frontier should mail us an actual coffee mug for heading to Hutton Orbital. I would need some serious incentive to ever go back there.

I broke down and made the run. I knew going into it how miserable that run is, and I did it anyway. I think I have a problem. (And yes, I sent in the screen shot.)

I went to Hutton because it was there, Long before it became cool and they gave you mugs and bumper stickers. I was a Hutton Hipster.

Hello,
Can a python make it there on a standard tank? Do I need a fuel scoop to refuel on jumping in?

Thanks and regards.

The fuel issue is only for small ships like a sidewinder.

The stock python has a 32 ton tank and at most burns fuel at 2.2t/h.
I only hit 1820c going in so it took me a bit more than an hour.
In short fuel was not an issue for me.
