Niiverch: Luh Sagittariuss Sprint (a.k.a. Luh Ghomel Niiverch)

Challenge: The Sagittarius Sprint (a.k.a. The Golden Challenge)

The Golden Knight · 2020-07-16T20:32:42+00:00

Yes, I know, traveling nearly 26,000 lightyears is a marathon, but that's not what I mean; I came up with the term "sprinting" to refer to doing nothing more than passing through a system, refueling and jumping, in rapid succession, going as fast as realistically possible. So, doing that from Sol to Sagittarius A* is why I call this "The Sagittarius Sprint". Or, you can think about it as a "Sprint" because this specific challenge has a tight time limit (forcing competitors to race against the clock, not necessarily each other). I wanted to emulate a few conditions that I enacted when I went to the supermassive black hole; since knowing how high the bar has been set, merely REACHING that point is not good enough to stand out (the visitor's list is thousands of names long). Rules for The Sagittarius Sprint (a.k.a. The Golden Challenge): Vanilla stock ship (any ship model is OK, Grade A components are OK) NO ENGINEERING! NO "FSD INJECTION" or OTHER enhancements. NO "NEUTRON STAR CHARGING". From Sol to Sagittarius A* (the supermassive black hole). If you do NOT have a Sol Permit, you may make your starting position 1 star system ADJACENT to Sol (no more than 20 lightyears away from Sol; basically it's only 1 jump from Sol, if you can not enter Sol proper). And now the REAL "Challenge": The run MUST be completed within ONE REAL DAY! So if you take a break, the clock is still ticking. That means 24 real hours, including any breaks for eating, toilet, dealing with pets, and all other interruptions as well as the journey...if your experience is anything like MINE, the trek should be upwards of 1,000 jumps. Heading home, you can go at your own pace; that's not part of the challenge. Besides, I trust you'll need a rest after this. So the challenge itself is a one-way journey. And if it took me about 18 hours and 20 minutes, those other hours SHOULD give you ample "margin of error". I'm sure you could do better than me and my Cobra, with a more specialized explorer ship. For proof, 2 pictures are needed: the start, and the finish. Specifically, the clock at the upper-right hand side of the UI will be used for gauging how long it took you from Point A to Point B. THAT SAID, there IS some "good faith" needed between me and you; basically, I'm going to trust that those 2 images align for timestamp purposes. For ease of measuring, it is suggested but not required to start sometime in the early-morning GMT (so the clock can be like 1:40 in-game time). If you want, you CAN get more detailed about your report..like how I had pictures showing how many jumps I needed to take: So in MY example, that's 829 + 350 jumps from Sol to Sagittarius A*, averaging at or around 23 lightyears per jump. Any questions, comments, or criticisms, please speak freely. I am honestly excited to see other people take this on, though that is in part because I have high expectations for our community. This is Version 1 (THE "Tentative Pitch"), and any major edits WILL be marked in contrast with the former arrangements described, to see the changes at a glance. O7 and Semper Bellum.
