....says that the zenith or nadir jump points for a G2 like uour sun are 1.5 billion km away. In round numbers that's 10 AU and for a continuous accel/decel it'll take 215 hours at 21.6 miles per second of delta-V every hour that adds up to 4645 miles per second of Delta-v.
You might be able to make a ship in Spaceships that could do that with the second-best drive for Delta-V but it'll be almost all fuel tanks. It' almost certainly need to refuel before heading back to the jump point too.
You can take the Total Conversion stats and re-name them to anything you like but of one of Fred's Laws of Space Setting Design is to not to send ships off to the backside of a solar system on a routine basis. No good comes of it.
