A dedicated Elite Dangerous player has engineered the starter Sidewinder ship to achieve a maximum unboosted jump range of 53.28 light years, and with a neutron star boost, an extraordinary 213 light years. This feat demonstrates the potential of deep ship customization and engineering even on the game's most modest vessel. The player shared a Coriolis build link to help others replicate the setup and announced plans to journey to Sagittarius A*, the galaxy's supermassive black hole, using this enhanced Sidewinder. This achievement highlights the community’s creativity and the accessibility of exploration for all commanders, regardless of ship size or starting point.
