Default a long trip

Just woundering, is it possible to circumnavigate the world in a IXD2, and can you make fuel stops at neutral ports?, Ooops should have put this question in the general shIII section sorry.

You can down the bottom of the SH3 world
I have sailed straight past New Zealand bottom right and appeared bottom left in the Pacific

AFAIK you cant dock at neutral ports just friendly

Pick unlimited fuel and sail away

Possibly not
You can use a IXD2 in GWX to sail from France to Penang
Milkcow on the way if needed
From Penang across the Pacific

Thats where it gets tough though
You may not have enough juice to get to the milkcow in the South Atlantic
:hmm:

Real time eater that one would be

You might be able to make it.

The optimum speed/distance in the IXD2 is 52000kms (ish) @ 10kts. From this, you might be able to plan your route.

Happy sailing.
You are doing this at 1 x TC aren't you?

Could be fun for the next GWX to arrange for a neutral port/ship in ..... errr let's say ..... República de Chile ..... Valparaiso for example ??

Only and especially for our Caphorniers ..
