I've only got a few 11s, but I'm avidly watching to see who hits that first 13! I wouldn't doubt it being soon. Maybe after the next collection. Once 13 becomes the new benchmark, 12s will probably be seen as common.

Seeing as I just got my 9th 12hr voyage (8 have been verified; so proud of myself! ), I'm starting to wonder: when do we start viewing 12 hour voyages as more normal? Looking at the leader board, there are nearly 700 voyages on it. And looking at the Discord thread, there are, what I would say, a lot of verifiable voyages every day. Whenever WRG takes care of expanding Collections, this could become almost routine.
Top time is 12:53 and some change. My best is only 12:10 and I have a couple of squeakers.
So when do we decide to raise the bar on what should be considered noteworthy for voyage length?
BTW: not expecting an **official** answer on this from the captains running the leader board. More interested in a discussion from the rank and file.
Considering that 12h voyage is still difficult to reach even with deep rosters, I guess new frontier will be in the moment someone reach 13h
I think for the sake of it, it's Longest Voyages list now, but 12 hours is still an elusive milestone for most that it counts. We've had over 600 entries but that's not the end. We run seasonal competitions and are getting closer and closer to the 13 hour mark with the current record being 12:53.
Come over to the discord for more discussion on it. And big thanks to @Nolian for running it! Their checks and integrity have made it a stunning project!
My first 12 hour voyage. I'm a bit late to the party, but it looks like the Saurian brandy is still flowing.

When I launched it, I named it the "Eleven Thirty", since I thought that's about what the numbers would yield for duration. Then I ran the DataCore prediction on it - which is normally quite accurate, but...
James T. Kirk from the Space Junkies has had 13 hours, I heard so, but purrhaps not verified or even posted. But I agree, at some point, the bar will probably have to be raised to 12:30 or even 13:00 hours in the near future if they release such huge voyagers like SNW Spock & Pike.
PS: Thankies so muchies for adding me in the board even though it's unverified. Almeowst made Top 10 in MED-SCI / SCI-MED with my 12h 9m 8s (10th place being 12h 11m 20s). ^^

Yes James. T Kirk's 13 hour voyage was verified. Crazy times!
I got my first 12 hr voyage yesterday! User: Tex Gunslinger; Fleet: Bart's Mid Iowa
I hope that I have all of the necessary screenshots to qualify for the Roykirk board...
My second 12 hour natural voyage is (hopefully) my first correctly posted voyage in the Roykirk format, it's a purrsonal best by about 11 minutes! DIP-SCI skill set, no duplicate crew used, ship had antimatter bonus (IKS Sarcuffaluffagus). Also, it was the premiere voyage for "Reunion Kirk & Spock" and "Spacegoat O'Brien".
Curious, with anti-matter boosts now from FBBs I think we should announce what level our FBB Bridge is at. Not sure how we can compare apples to boosted apples. Maybe state your FBB Bridge or take a screenshot with starting anti-matter? Your thoughts.

Collection boosts, which crew you have, ships for am, it's always been a bit of an apples to oranges comparison. But that's kind of the point. It's a goal for players to reach. It doesn't matter how they reach it. AM boost is just another way to do it. Maybe one player gets better FBB crew to get the AM boost, another may go for collections, a third may focus on the strongest voyage crew. However you want to focus to get to 12 is cool.
I think we've already had a 13 hour voyage. Maybe we'll start trying for that. I'm also curious when the first player will get to 14.
So far there are two 13+ hour voyages, one was on the nose 13 hours and the other is 13 hours and 5 minutes something. I think 14 hours is just a matter of time because the max AM boost from FBB is 240, and crew will get better and better, and maybe we'll even get more collection trashholds with more skill bonuses (base and / or roll).

Mew purrsonal best by 2 minutes and 40 seconds (12h 19m 55s old PB). I was shocked that this PB was on a MED-CMD skill set of all possible ones (purrently this means Top 5 MED-CMD voyage of all time) ... that has been my second worst skill set except MED-ENG and now I got a PB from that ... my first ever duplicate, the two Vedala Elders, certainly played a big role in this voyage.

My antennae were twitching in disbelief! With my poor collection purrgress, I never expected to get such a huge jump in natural voyage length PB! According to the leaderboard, this will put me (at least tempurrarily) into the overall Top 10 and it's the second longest ever natural SCI-SEC voyage uploaded to the database!
My previous PB was 12 hours, 22 minutes and 35 seconds. Now it's a whoopin' 12 hours and 48 minutes (which would have been even more if I had not made a silly seating mistake for 2024 and Fencing Picard)! Wowies!
