I was im the sim testing the new sol heavy miner, results are as follows:

Empty Hold:
Accel from 0v to 426v no AB
21 Seconds
8000 Distance

Accel from 0v to 486v AB
21 Seconds
6600 Distance

Decel from 426v to 0v(AB brakeing)
24 Seconds
3000 Distance

Filled with Iridium:
Accel from 0v to 426v no AB
19 Minutes
337500 Distance

Decel from 426v to 0v no AB(180Degree turn and burn)
5 Minutes
53000 Distance

how about BaadF00d's program? is his proggie accurate for decelleration? i didn't actually trust his data for the decel bit...would you plug in your decel mass stats plz?

The predicted values for a Lodestar with Rush engines and an effective mass of 77,225 (equipped mass ignoring MODx weight) and using formula posted someplace on this site:

Accel from 0v to 426v no AB
19.7 sec
6882m

Accel from 0v to 486v AB
19.5 sec
7953m

Decel from 426v to 0v(AB brakeing)
8.8 sec
2240m


Filled with Iridium (250 units at 22500):
Accel from 0v to 426v no AB

24m 15s
508287m

Decel from 426v to 0v no AB(180Degree turn and burn)
5m 2s
57579m


These values assume instant application of full thrust and the best (yaw)turning rates. In general they seem to agree pretty well with your measured results, (did you get the distances backwards on your accel rates?) Also the heavy results are hard to get entirely accurate results, since the difference of only .1v at the top end the the acceleration curve makes a huge difference in distance while you are traveling at nearly 426v.
