no, @api is right - you're orbiting the galactic center for a while.

Similar how transfer from earth to mars works via a solar orbit.

So, yes, you have to include orbital mechanics, not just straight lines.

I didn't say there's no need to consider orbital mechanics. I said taking a route through the galactic center is not a realistic scenario.
I didn't mean through the center, just orbiting it. Look up a Hohmann transfer. I was just saying it wouldn't be direct.
