This may or may not be a personal best for me, but it's notable because of the skill set and for the relatively low primary/secondary numbers for a voyage of this length. The last successful skill check was at 11:15, which is stupefying to me. I must have hit a ton of lucky checks.
Wow!! I believe that is the longest I’ve seen! And big props for adding the screenshots at the 8 and 10 hour marks. That totally solidifies the truth of it
67% of skill checks hit the primary/secondary skills, while only 29 hits against the lowest skill? that's really damn good RNG.
Really wish the game could tell you what the skill check RNG is between certain 2 hour blocks. to hit anything past 11:30, you're going to need a ton of primary/secondary checks after 10 hours

I sacrificed many 10 hour dilemmas sending out low tertiary high primary skills lol. You are absolutely correct that the longest voyages have the best RNG. Had to send out around 100 voyages with 28k in primary and secondary and 18kish tertiary skills and just wait for one to get lucky.

I’ve found that as well. I send out using my system. Every once in a great while RNG shines on me and takes me far but my system also sees a lot of them crashing and burning at like 9:15
Well I did it by accident. I was recording data on both my accounts. I decided to wait to recall after doing other things. I forgot on both of my accounts. I never would have thought from 8 hour mark either account would make it to ten. (Edit: actually my Crusoe account was in fairly good shape at the 8 hour mark) But RNG shined on both. I believe I got a warning at 9:30 on voyage, my main was just under the AM I needed but it still could pass some hazards. My Crusoe account had the AM to make it. They both did it. Only made it due to some extreme luck.

Well I guess this is doable with that much AM.
I just realized I did not screenshot all my data at 10 hour. I had decided to do it when voyage was over and forgot. So will not be able to enter 10 hour data for spreadsheet.
That was just how my day went. The almost 8hr Voyage. My Kindle acted up and left me with 10,000+ unspent Intel when the event ended, because I couldn't get in for an hour. Had a random nosebleed, which I almost never have. Sat the two week old kitten on my bed, while I shook her bed out and she peed on my pillow. I had a very "Monday" Monday.

Might not seem much but I got my first 6 hour voyage today!! I’ve been close before but just managed to squeak past the dilemma. I think if I can get SEC as a gold it should be a bit less nerve wracking next time.

That’s quite a milestone! Congrats! Next stop.....8!!
Holy cow! I bow to your voyage superiority! I need to also start calling you The Godfather of voyages
Haha, hardly. Dude, I got sooo lucky with that one — well, both of the above Voyages, actually, but the latter one in particular. The AM at 6 hours was so poor, I actually sort of doubted whether it'd make it to 8. So it just hit a lot of fortunate hazards after that point. But I will admit it is quite nice to be at a point where I can count on hitting 10 hours nearly every time out. I remember when going that far without a refill was talked about here on the forums as an extreme rarity, even among players who had all or nearly all the crew — but I suppose power creep made that a far more commonplace experience for quite a few of us.

Funny you say that. I just went back and looked at Vitamin C or Chewable C’s voyage thread from the beginning. When we first started this we were pretty excited about some pathetic voyage times. I looked at the beginning of this thread too and I think I was geeked about 8 something hours. We’ve learned alot since then
I got my first 6 hr today, and while I'm here, I'd like to say Thank You for all the information, and all the help that you all provide on this forum.
Congrats on that! Interesting that your first time reaching 6 hours happens to be on a med/com voyage, as that’s a troublesome combo for a LOT of people, myself included.

That is quite a fortunate voyage!

That’s awesome!! Got my best beat by 2 minutes. That was quite a ride my friend!

Ugh!! That’s brutal but you’ll get there really soon if you were only 50 seconds away
That’s quite a milestone! Congrats! Next stop.....8!!
Thanks — and I just beat that one moments ago...

Finally starting to break 10 hours on my best combos.
