26:00 Even Jeancey's Hotrod isn't accelerating all the way to the halfway point. "Delta-V" literally means "how much velocity can this ship produce", and you're using half of it to speed up and half to slow down. In this case, Jeancey used 2400ish kilometers per second of delta-V over about three days (30 November to 2 December) to get up to a speed (relative to the Sun) of, um, 2400ish kilometers per second, because she just pointed it outsystem and stomped on the gas pedal; she's not getting any advantage from orbital mechanics. You can see her available delta-V dropping "gradually" over those three days at 25:11. Which is still blazingly fast; it's just under 1% of lightspeed, and there is definitely no way any alien fleet can intercept her. It's fast enough that she would need to worry about relativistic effects for navigation, although she probably wouldn't be able to notice them personally. But it's nothing like "accelerate for 2 weeks straight" kind of fast; she's still just coasting for most of December. Sometime on 31 December, she'll turn it around and stomp on the pedal again, slowing down over the same three days so that she can rendezvous with Luison in some way other than a gigantic impact crater.
A little tip if I may. Rename fleets for their destination and purpose. Eg: Ceres Strike, Mars Guard. etc Fleet management is actually really as bad as character management in darkest dungeon
This guy is still making videos? What year is this?
incorrect playlist number, should be 33
I've read that a Targeting Computer doesn't help when using nuclear missiles, since they're immune to enemy ECM.
Woo!! More Terra Invicta!!
