I didn't get this far but i did calculate that the trip on rockets alone would have taken 317 days.

Spoo for thsi trip at least you could have taken out the 2 systems of magsails and repalced one with another fuel tank and doubled your accel and decel times on rockets alone and basically achieved the same results.

....and of course had another system's worth of cargo or whatever. If basically all your trips are going to be of this length I'd make thsi a rocket-only ship.

Moral: complications frequently aren't worth the trouble.
