1 Billion Miles - How Many Games?

[Esquoret]

May I ask anyone who has the "10.75 AU" trophy for travelling 1 billion miles: how many games have you won, and also the total number of games played?

 

I'd very much appreciate a reference point, since the game itself doesn't track this stat.

 

Thank you!

This will come with failed runs (looks like you already got it), so just keep playing. Took me a few dozen runs (came rather easily)... just try to finish/go as far as you can each time. This is an easy grind, IMO (I was at around 80 games played, no idea if this helps with 2 wins lol).

I actually could not find any information about this... anywhere. Based on a quick Google search (here), the furthest Earth to Mars is 249 million miles; however, I can attest that after several "wins" in Tharsis, it is not as easy as 5 full missions. With that, it may be safer to use the closest distance between Earth and Mars (also found from that Google search) 33.9 million miles. If that is what the designers set the distance, then we'd be looking at ~30 successful "wins" in Tharsis to accumulate the 1 billion miles (1000 [million miles] / 33.9 [million miles]). And, given each week in the game is 1/10 of that distance, each week (or Turn) would be ~3.4 million miles. So if you're prone to losing, it would take a very long time to acquire this trophy. 

 

So, let's say, on average you get to week 5 (1/2 the distance to Mars) then lose, it would take ~60 1/2 distances to acquire the trophy.

 

Looking for anyone with further insight/theory to add to this as I am just speculating based on a Google search

Hey, just in case this information would be usefull for someone: this trophy was my last one before the 100% and I got it during my 26th run (and I won 10/26 runs only). I played 10 hours and 20 minutes for the 100%).
