just musing, but is it possible with the max fuel can to get to the main servers sector, [sX 9990, sY 9999, sZ 9999]?

Impossible...
Only fuel is not enough... :)

Yup. Turn on inertia, go to maximum speed, point in the right direction and leave it like that for several decades.

I think your best bet would be to head to RS and travel from there. You would have a lot of fuel consumption, however... I think you might be able to do it :)

actually, I'd use a lower end engine as they burn less fuel ;)

Higher end engine = faster max speed

Once you hit inertia mode you don't use any fuel except for course corrections. Unless I'm really confused and my Navigator is giving me bad info.....

Vice has said repeatedly that you could not explore the entire universe in a "lifetime". I suppose that depends on how old you are.
I suspect it won't happen before 12/21/12 which is the next projected "End of the world" ! Have fun trying!
