Can you fly between systems without hyperspace jump?

Theoretically, you should be able to point your ship at the target, turn on the engines and go, when your fuel runs out you should still be going at the same speed, forever...
However, in the game, you'd be slowed gradually by "space dust" and your hull would degrade to 0% by the same method.

After my running out of fuel fiasco, I wondered if it is actually possible to fly between systems using SC. You can align with another system and travelling at about 1000C it said 1.2 days. So if I left it running would it get there? If not then it should
No, because you need to enter/leave the system via the Jump process to trigger the instance change.
Has anyone tried it? 1,000,000Ls is around 0.03Ly(?), so the closest two systems might take around 10 hours of SuperCruise(?) depending on how fast that baby really can go!
I guessed it would be something like that.
Also... Thargoids.
Also your ship does use fuel in SC (or just flying around in asteroids or whatever). So you'll run out of fuel sooner than getting anywhere.
In the original game, planet space was spherical if you went in any one direction for too long you simply arrived at the other side of the sphere.
My guess is that due to the way directX works it happens the same, but just takes longer.
I'm also guessing like the other person that tripping hyper-jump triggers the routine to create the new system from the seed values.

You can get a cream for that!
