Hi all. My very first post here
Somehow only found out about this game about 4 weeks back and have been experimenting a bit. Kicking off my first proper game and even documenting the progress.
One of the first systems I came across outside of Earth is Sirius, and it is massive. Ridiculously massive. So massive that it is unexplorable, even though it has a x2. 0 planet in the system. The jump point is 9. 6B KM from the primary. But that is nothing compared to where some of the other bodies orbit. There is a Terrestrial at 26. 8B KM from the primary, a gas giant at 32B KM, but the prize goes to the tiny dwarf planet at the edge of the system.
It orbits at 575 BILLION KM from the primary, with an orbital period of 141851 years.
Can that even be reached? At my tech level it would take years and a couple of million liters of fuel to reach.
It is a challenge though and one I hope I can meet.
