Intersteller voyage in supercruise?

Postby AJStoner » Tue Jan 05, 2016 8:55 am

A few star systems are very close together; I've noted a few barely over a lightyear apart. Has anyone tried to go from one to another using nothing but supercruise? Just have fast will a ship go if allowed to keep accelerating?

Not possible. The Jump is a loading screen to let the data load for the next system. you can supercruise for a year and never get there.

To clarify - you'll get to the coordinates but there will be nothing there.

I believe acceleration caps out at around 850 C, if you are curious about trying a long cruise I recommend Alpha Centauri, there is an outpost at the secondary star called Hutton Orbital 0.22 LY from entry point aprox 7 million Ls and just cruising there will take about 90 minutes.
Also make sure you have fuel for it,for example if a stock sidewinder jumps into Alpha Centauri and heads towards Hutton, it will not make it.

Two things:

I thought I read a long time ago that someone tried traveling between stars and it worked, but it opened up a new instance at some point.

I also thought I just recently read about the 2000C club. I'm pretty sure I've gone 1100 or 1200 before, but it was a long time ago.
It's time to give this another go.

I think they capped it at around 1.2 but I'm not sure. I might just be plain wrong too :)

I could throw a hauler or something together and see. Got nothing better to do anyways.

Tossed and extra 8t tank on an eagle and headed off. And already say I was wrong about 850.

Currently doing 920C and still accelerating.

1200C and still accelerating at about 1C every two seconds.

You sir, are boring :P

Did it anyways, and sure 2001 is the top speed (well, just going so fast is an odyssey in its own)
