After building an actual battleship that could reach the planet's orbit and stay there, redditor avaslash created an improved version, taking it on a tour across the Kerbal solar system—getting as far as Jool, Kerbal Space Program's Jupiter.
Of course, again, the biggest obstacle was getting the new cruiser to fly. Complicating matters was a new fuel system which caused several malfunctions across the board. Nevertheless, the UKN Kaihōpara managed to reach orbit, and from then on, it was smooth sailing. Kinda.
