good weather for plasma magnet chads

Note I'm think this would be in combination with Dynamic Soaring technique to build up as much speed as possible in the outer system, and fling to the blackhole to slingshot to Proxima Centauri at a significant fraction of lightspeed, and slow down against the interstellar medium with the plasma magnet drag device

If its a blackhole maybe they can skip the heliopause soaring manuever altogether too

I prefer autonomous craft to beam riding cuckery so dynamic soaring. Also accelerating anything bigger than a chipsat takes ungodly power levels for beaming.

just dynamic soar around the heliopause to build speed and wait till your vector points at the inner system then turn your sail off until you need to course correct - you hit Earth at 0.05 c

And then dynamic soaring takes it to just another level, they think they can reach 2% c in 1.5 years doing it
