Sol to Colonia in under 1.5hrs: second time record

I reached a new milestone today in Elite Dangerous interstellar route optimization: The 1.5hr barrier in Sol-to-Colonia travel has been broken. Total flight time: 1h 29m 0s.
Update: I broke this record in Nov 2021 when the game developers released an improved hyperspace drive: • New double-engineered ...

Hello from SOL, Earth, Russia, Moscow! It was a very good journey! My respect to you!!

[@Fox420]

Good job CMDR ! I was amazed by how you broke my time, a true show of ingenuity and class :D

[@cmdrstevefalken7916]

I'm honored, CMDR! For the record, you are clearly the better pilot, which is why the only way I can beat your time is with graph theory instead of skill. o7

Came here straight from PC Gamer's Article.. Well Played. I have an OCD to use FSS in every system..which takes me forever to get anywhere.

[@elegathor4251]

Same here Commander!

[@TheM9lta]

Good work doc

[@ufospam]

holy cow! You did it!

[@jamesbigglesworth4677]

Great work, can I show the path you travelled in the comments?

[@conqourze1662]

this is insane

[@zinta1]

I tried this.. nope.. almost destroyed my ship.. crazy..man

[@xamidi]

Now that double-engineered A6 FSDs come out, this will soon be easy to improve on.

[@cmdrstevefalken7916]

You're correct. :) I just asked my route plotter how fast it can be done with the new FSDs and it estimates around 1h 20m with an 80T fuel tank. I'll try it today if I have time and post the results.

@@cmdrstevefalken7916 Unfortunately, Mass Manager cannot be applied yet to the new modules, or did they fix that already?

[@cmdrstevefalken7916]

@@xamidi It was changed to allow Mass Manager recently. With that added, the shortest route is reduced to 71 hops for my build (kzbin.info/www/bejne/hGqsk6Cbfbpnm6c).

NIce :)

[@shitshitnotimportant]

Do you have the route you used or the algorithm available online?

[@sentry1009]

You can plot neutron routes from spansh's neutron plotter

[@ZoeSummers1701A]

how are you finding and selecting the next star to jump to so quickly?

[@jacoblashway]

PC......... Pre routed plan or bookmarks I suspect

[@JustinPageSlayer]

They said this to someone who asked the same question on the slightly longer video, and I quote "Yes, it's copy+paste but I didn't actually use another open window. I bound one of my controller keys to a macro that copies the next destination from my itinerary file and hits control-V for me. I didn't want to be hunting around for the key on my keyboard while riding a neutron jet!" I assumed nothing has changed in that department

[@NinjaZXRR]

www.Spansh.co.uk its a route plotter that uses neutron stars to plan your route.

[@mastergenjimain4138]

Wow! It's amaizing, but can you share this road with us? I think that it wll save so much time

[@Septagramable]

Better yet, this may be a lot to ask, but please consider open sourcing the custom route-plotter you've mentioned. You would be a true hero to the community.

[@NinjaZXRR]

Use Spansh.co.uk its a neutron star plotter for Elite thats what I use to get around faster.

[@jimsinger4051]

o7 Commander. Question: how are you getting triple digit jump ranges? I have never seen anything come close to the ranges you are getting...would you consider posting a link to your build? Asking for a friend... :)

[@blackhawks81H]

He pretty much shows the outfitting at the beginning of the video.. That Conda has a 79LY jump range... When you get the 4X boost from the neutron star supercharge.. It gives you damn near close to 320LY maximum. Fun fact, FDEV made it 4x boost on accident. It was supposed to be quite a bit less. They reeeeallly wanted to nerf it pretty hard. But people had already gotten used to it and threatened to revolt, so they left it. Thus the Era of the neutron superhighway was born. Personally I think it's perfectly reasonable in a game the size of the actual galaxy! Lol

[@blackhawks81H]

I don't know if KZbin will delete this link or not. But someone made a funny little "in universe lore" graphic about how to supercharge. static.wikia.nocookie.net/elite-dangerous/images/2/27/Howto.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20161104204147

[@oralord5659]

Did someone counted the number of jumps ? 😅 GG anyway

[@Sir-Complains-a-Lot]

holy shit. dat took me about 3 hours...

[@devildantedd666]

Yeah! Science, bitch!

[@menzis0]

Wait this time hasn't been beat yet? *cracks knuckles*

[@internetrules8522]

any luck?
