Oh, the next node isn't a capture, by the way. Just a minor course correction.
Also are you allowing for time dilation?

Ah, I misunderstood the route
But gamma is 0.99996, so time dilation doesn't really come into play, at least not to the number of significant figures i can be bothered to work to.

Seems pretty slow.
Accelerate at 1g and you'll be there in less than six years.

Seems like you'd need a planet's worth of fuel to accelerate thousands of tonnes of spaceship at 1g for that long.
Seems like you might as well take your planet with you at that point.

I make it just over 4 years
And as brb says, lots of energy needed for that, although presumably you'd be using fusion so not so much mass needed.

Ta!
Picard's receding afro is probably worth several negative likes though. Perhaps offset by brave radiation accident survivor Lt. Cmdr. DataSoong's imperial.
