Different frame shift drive speeds depending on ship size

I would be VERY interested in capability to execute chained jump. It could work like this:

Select target on galaxy map then if player wants to execute jump:
If target is within max single jump range execute jump in normal way otherwise
If target is above max single jump range check if it is within maximum distance (fuel wise) then
1.charge up fsd
2.open wormhole
3.present wormhole animation to player while displaying FSD charging message all the time and update fuel indicator each time max single jump range mark is passed.
else abort jump with msg Insufficient fuel.

Over the years many people have expressed an interest in such a feature usually with the aim of adding more automation to the game to help them take part nut play less.

What if the calculation for the navigation for the next leg of the journey is very different in the reference frame of the next star; Due to relativistic effects? The star is clearly the target for the drive, which is why we end up so close to it on arriving, after every jump. Are you certain that you want to take the risks involved in pre calculating the distances before you are actually in the correct reference frame to take the measurements; Considering the ruler on a train, in Einsteins special relativity.

I'm already nervous about the lack of understanding of eccentric hyperspace trajectories and the use of data minded wake exceptions in squeezing out the extra light years from the drive, and you want to precalculate trajectories from considerably different locations? Remind me not to set foot in space with you without my towel and a bag of peanuts, for hitchhiking purposes!

To be fair, I've heard @Ameeleean2 's poetry is quite tolerable though.

That might be reason why Fleet Carrier is able to jump to specific point in system while ordinary ship can't. In 1st case there is space for supercomputer and crew able to use it while in 2nd onboard future version of modern Raspberry Pi is barely able to handle data links between onboard systems (at last it looks like it)...
