*If you're in a Diamondback Explorer and your jump range is about 34.2ly, you've done it right. If you're in an Asp and your jump range is about 37ly, you've done it right. And if your expensive Anaconda's jump range is almost precisely 40ly, you've also done it right. If not, you've got some adjusting to do. | *If you're in a Diamondback Explorer and your jump range is about 34.2ly, you've done it right.

Sagittarius A* isn't exactly a walk down the street - it's 25, | Sagittarius A* isn't exactly a walk down the street - it's 25,900 light years away from sol. You read that right - Twenty-five '''''thousand''' ''light years from Sol. You won't be able to plop yourself in the seat of an Asp, hop on over to the centre of the galaxy, and get back to Earth in time for tea at grandma's. It takes, at the absolute minimum, 8 hours to get there. That's not an awfully long time, but remember that the guy that got there in 8 hours did literally nothing else but get to his destination, and 8 hours is just the time it took to get there, and it's unknown how long he spent getting back to Sol. | ||
If you want a profitable voyage, you'll need both time and patience and you must be able to handle being away from civilisation for a few weeks of playing until you get to the core where it's likely you'll meet up with other visiting explorers. You also need to have alot of spare time - if you're a parent and/or have a full-time job, it's not recommended to be allocating most of your time to reaching the galactic core. It's really not good if you're a parent and/or full-time worker spending 10+ hours on your computer, flight controls in hand, exploring the galaxy, while either your kid is begging for something or you've got to wake up early for work in the morning. Sorry, but that's just how it is. Besides, there are plenty of other activities for you to do in the game if you don't have alot of time to play - why not go on a shorter voyage to a beautiful nearby nebula, or experience the thrill of fighting in a high-intensity conflict zone? The choice is yours. | If you want a profitable voyage, you'll need both time and patience and you must be able to handle being away from civilisation for a few weeks of playing until you get to the core where it's likely you'll meet up with other visiting explorers.
