Sagittarius A* is 25900 light years from Sol. It will take roughly 700 jumps to reach the system with a 35-40ly jump range. The record time for reaching Sagittarius A* is around 8-9 hours of nonstop play and not exploring the systems on the way there. Normally, a realistic, profitable voyage to Sagittarius A* and back will take a few weeks. | |||

A voyage to Sagittarius A* and back is not easy - in fact, it is sometimes said to be quite dangerous, but if you ping every system with your discovery scanner and explore the ones that look valuable, it can be '''extremely''' profitable - you can make several tens of millions from a Sagittarius A* trip - one explorer is known to have gone to Sagittarius A* from Sol, took a slightly longer route back, redeemed 51 days worth of exploration data, and had made 145 million credits from it. | A voyage to Sagittarius A* and back is not easy - in fact, it is sometimes said to be quite dangerous, but if you ping every system with your discovery scanner and explore the ones that look valuable, it can be '''extremely''' profitable - you can make several tens of millions from a Sagittarius A* trip - one explorer is known to have gone to Sagittarius A* from Sol, took a slightly longer route back, redeemed 51 days worth of exploration data, and had made 145 million credits from it. | ||
