This brings up a question, can you jump from any point outside the 100 diameter
limit regardless of destination? I.E. do you have to be on the same side of
the gravity source as your destination? Or can you jump "through" a G source?
Wouldn't this drop you out of jumpspace when you reenter the 100 D limit?
If you do indeed have to be on the same side as your destination, would this
significantly change in-system travel times for some ships depending on your
destination? Or will this not matter to a constant acceleration? How about
you physics/astronautic types doing some calculations for travel times to the
100 diameter limit at 90 - 120 degrees around the other side of the gravity
source to see if it makes a significant time difference?
