Sortie #1:
* Mine Mercury, Io, Pluto, get Fwiffo, return to base.

Sortie #2:

systems in direction you will go, leave with 95 units fuel.
* Leave by Mar 9 for Alpha Pavonis to get warp pod,
Beta Pegasi for rainbow world, mine Beta Chandrashekar 2.  
Arilou portal, get portal.
* Portal #10, return to base.

Would you mind recounting what order you did things in?  Was it simply my further-optimized plan, or was it different? You do seem to have saved about a month and a half, which is solid.

The line with the smiley should read:

* Leave with 140 units of fuel & capacity for 210 units fuel.

Must be too late/early for me...the numbers are off of a quasispace map I have here.

Portal #10 is the Sol portal.
Portal #6 is the Arcturus portal.  
Portal #11 is the one that puts you in the middle of Dillrat space.
Portal #9 is the one between Yehat and Mycon space.
Portal #8 is the Spathi/Zoq-Fot portal.
Portal #1 puts you in Druuge territory.
Portal #5 is the Camelopardalis portal.
Portal #7 is the Ur-Quan Monoceratosis (NW corner) portal
Portal #15 is the Supox/Utwig portal
Portal #16 is the Crateris portal.

Look for the Beamer Quasispace portal map - that's what the numbers are from.

I searched for it.  I didn't see a specific plan, but she did say she beat the game in November 2155.

I'm too lazy to search right now, but Kohr-Ah Primat said she finished a game rather quickly once.  She mentioned the date, and its in these forums somewhere...

I did a better job of tracking down the Thraddash, so I chopped one day off of my time (and yes I have a screen shot).  Can't think of much more to cut off of the plan I posted, so we'll go with October 05, 2155.

Any ideas on cutting this down even more?

hmmm....  Looks good to me, maybe you could mine Delta Touri while you are sending the illwrath away?

I tried that, actually.  I stopped it when I realized that I had enough resources just from mining Beta Chandrashekar 2 and saved a couple of days.  Thanks for the try, though.
