AlittlecynisismHow long does it take you guys to do 1000 jumps?
Roughly 90 sec per jump with a plotted route including time for scooping. 1500 min or 25 hours.
If we add cone boosting and manual plotting it is far slower.
What are you trying to achieve?

I mean, math is hard and all but I think you can take the amount of time it takes to arrive in a system, wait for the FSD CD, charge the hyperdrive, and transit to the next system, and multiply by.. I don't know, a thousand? I don't know what kind of answer you're expecting other than 'same amount of time it takes you to jump 1000x'...

AlittlecynisismI'm on the r2r to Colonia with a 18 ly jump range. Just wondering if anyone had done the same.
Unfortunately, it was done many times and I am sure most of the people regret doing it. Sakashiro might have a word to add

SakashiroI'm one Imperial rank away from a Cutter. Can't stop playing now.
Congrats! When you get your Cutter, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoy mine! Loved mine enough I went and got 4 of them! Only complaints are the jump range and the size 7 power distributor. Other than that, it is a fantastic ship!

KarinkaFantastic feeling when you buy your new never-flown-yet ship and try it out! Indeed cutter is so multi-purpose you can do almost everything in it
It's versatility is part of why I love them! Got 1 for combat, 1 for mining, 1 for hauling, and 1 that I have yet to figure out what I'm going to do with but what ever I decide, I know it will work for it.

Yeah I got one for hauling, one for human combat and one for alien combat. I do not do mining, so that's enough Cutters for me

How's it been working out for you for alien combat? I have often heard all of the large ships were terrible for anti-thargoid stuff.

Not true. It works pretty good as a shield tank and is very capable of destroying Cyclopses fast in solo with minimal effort of the pilot. Some CMDRs also successfully utilize Vettes and Condas in their hard anti-xeno work
I'm still in progress of upgrading mine to take out solo Basilisk eventually (still learning).20 Dec 2021, 4:39pm

All I can add is: Get the largest A-rated fuel scoop your ship can fit, downsize your fuel tank for a maximum of two full-range jumps, filter your route for scoopable stars (OBAFGKM), and put your favorite Spotify or whatever playlist into the background while jumping.
