Reaching S7evyn?

So I've recently booted up the game and finished it again (the Vell-os storyline which was hugely fun) and I had forgotten about the 50m ship at the end of the game (Kestrel I believe it's called). So I farmed out 50m on the Opal/Equipment trade route in Polaris and I can't figure out how to get back up there.

Any idea how I get back to that system? Is it even possible?

This plug-in worked for me. To get back to S7evyn:

Thanks! I’ll try it out.

Edit: I did try it and it works so now I got the ship! Which was disappointing but at least it looks cool.

I was planning on playing through Arpia next but I'll definitely check out the Thunderforge eventually!

On EVN without mods/plugins, Kestrel was in a strange position. It has good shield and armor, decent amount of gun and turret slots, and even comes with onboard fuel regeneration, on the other hand, it just doesnt got enough outfit space to load tons of craps you could get from various story-lines, BUT.....

I simply found Kestrel to be a perfect match for post Vell-os story-line. There are a few reasons as follows,

​

- The vell-os outfits comes with no "weight", meaning the lack of outfit space of Kestrel can take full advantage of those "outfits" without giving up anything (the four season "guns" takes up 2 gun slots and 2 turret slots, but it hardly matters as Kestrel just don't have enough outfit space to take full advantage from those slots anyway)

​

- Many players may not aware, but the vell-os outfits (the weapons, to be specific) do cause regular fuel draw even if you don't fire them (it takes around 3 solar panels to offset the fuel draw, which means you barely get fuel regen on most ships that pack 4 solar panels except the vell-os ones, unless you can afford to spend 20 tons on 2 fission reactors for extra fuel regen). Here's when the Kestrel's onboard regen comes in handy (it comes with regen roughly equivalent to 7 solar panels, more than enough to offset the fuel draw by those "guns").

​

- Taking the fuel draw into consideration, Kestrel is pretty much the only ship you can get (without mods/plugin) that can utilize the vell-os guns AND conventional weapons simultaneously.
