i want to know what the farthest inplanetory trips people on the forum have ever gone in orbiter
 
I suppose that the furthest interplanetary trip you could make is to Neptune, so Neptune. :) But I do wonder how people got there, specifically launch dates, and swingby setups, so if you do make these long, swing based flights, please go into detail. Learning how to do swingbys is my current project. :)
 
That's easy, Sedna in the DeltaGlider, and I did it when there was only the 10,000x time compression. Did a super-large injection burn, went past Jupiter, and continued to Sedna, took the better part of a day to get there. And then I came back doing the reverse.
 
Pluto. But I do plan a mission to Eris.
 
Just recently, I was pretending my pilot was commiting suicide by deorbiting into the sun. For some reason, as soon as I hit the sun, I found myself about 3 lightyears away from the Oort cloud in less than a second. It remains the fastest I have EVER gone in Orbiter

Well, that's where the gods send you when you kill yourelf...
 
I wrote this down for my Orbiter Record Log.
Farthest I ever gone in Orbiter.
92181921733212129 AU.
I am not kidding eaither, It took me a day in real life after hitting the sun to get this far,
Plus with unlimited fuel running at 96.2 thrust.

Wow, thats 1,457,665,072,937.543 lightyears. Impressive. That's more then 110x farther then the most distant known galaxy Abell 1835 IR1916. Obviously Orbiter doesn't take into account relativistic effects, and lets you go faster then the speed of light. However, I think the question entailed interplanetary trips, ie, the farthest object you've travelled to.
 
I think I might hold the record for farthest Interplanetary aswell, I made it to Eris.
 
I've made it as far as Pluto, in only two weeks, no less. :hotcool: (Using the [ame="http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=3034"]Bullet MK1[/ame] at 1.0g constant acceleration). Using more realistic trajectories, I've taken Deepstar out as far as Neptune, although to be honest I can't remember if I used any gravity assists; I think I may have at least done one at Jupiter. And by letting Tether MFD go beserk at 100,000x I've slung myself out several thousand parsecs in under an hour:P.
 
I did the whole outer planets tour:
I went from Earth to Mars, and the from Mars I landed on Phobos, and then from there to Jupiter's orbit, and from Jupiter I landed on Ganymede, and from there to the orbit of Saturn, which meant that I just had to go to Titan. From there I went to the orbit of Uranus, and then from there to Neptune's orbit, and thats where I found out that you can't go to Pluto because there was no Pluto in Orbiter.
 
The farthest I've been is the moon using NASSP 6.x's I been there more than 5 times less than 10. However after all those missions I though I was ready to go to Venus or Mars:sorry::sorry: I need a little more studying to do.
 
Ya, moon here too... And i went there "manually" (no funky Autopilots) and landed with the Russian moonlander ^^ (N1 Add-On).

You should get the Pluto-Charon addon, plus Eris and Sedna, if you want to get out to the outer planets. It's nice out there at this time of the aeon.
 
Well... I don't think I've actually flown to Pluto yet (though I do have a Pluto add-on) or Eris. I have flown from Titania (a Uranian moon) to Triton (a Neptunian moon), however. :whistle:
