Hi - first post on these forums, so hope this goes down well Ok so I've been challenging myself on a speed run from Brighton to London Victoria to see what's the least amount of time I can complete the journey in. Star Wars geeks will know that the Kessel Run is a hyperspace smugglers run which Han Solo completed in a record 12 parsecs, which is the inspiration for the name for this TSW challenge. Now, I don't think anyone is going to do it in 12 parsecs, but how quickly can you complete this journey? My custom scenario setup is - Brighton platform 4 to London Victora platform 16 using the DB BR406 8car [Empty], freight service with no stops. (by all means change the setup, but it has to be Brighton to London Victoria) The fastest I've been able to do it in is 17 mins 53 seconds. Took me quite a few runs to get it under 18 minutes. Can anyone do it faster (just trying to create a fun scenario, not trying to claim any bragging rights)? Would be great to hear how others get on if you want to try too... Best of luck (sorry if this or something similar has been done before, but I couldn't see any)
Ah, but the real trick to a Kessel run isn't time, it's distance. A true Kessel run challenge on a route would be something you'd do on one with manual points, where you can control them in order to complete the run with the shortest possible distance travelled between the start and end points..
Want a true Kessel run then SFS Hannover Würzburg the full name of Kassel Würzburg by skipping Fulda which was known for the Fulda Gap. Spoiler: KWG Livestream Pre TSW 3 release This was where the Russian 8th guards army will storm through and reach Rhein-Main Airbase in Frankfurt via the Niddertalbahn and Kinzigtal Bahn SFS Fulda Gelnhausen Hanau corridors
As true as that is (as far as the real-world use of the word parsec), the initial usage was intended to be time (as well as indicating that Han was full of himself and didn't actually know what he was talking about). It then got ret-conned over the years as the Expanded Universe grew to mean distance (in relation to being fast enough to fly closer to the Maw black-hole cluster and thus shave distance off the trip), but like most Star Wars ret-cons it was a bit of a kludge As a fan of the Expanded Universe books, especially the Jedi Academy trilogy (which had a lot of focus on Kessel and the Maw), the version presented in Solo was painful to watch (even though I liked the movie as a whole), basically just "lets do the asteroid field from Empire, but with space-fog!"
I was just sitting there with my friends watching it and turned to them to say "Still not the scariest tentacle monster you can find inside The Maw."
It's one of the proposed mastery rewards because because when they were streaming about they mentioned it shouldn't it
Still a stretch. How you can bring the most wikipedia-style, boring, almost robotic posts into a fun thread will forever amaze me.
Every post i see of you is always an attempt to get clout and attention. 'hiding' the most irrelevant things behind a.spoiler tag.
