Fuel usage 'bug'

[Zieman]

Just confirmed a 'bug', or oversight, I've some time suspected in hyperjump fuel usage calculations of the game:
it is rounded to one decimal only.
So, in right circumstances one can jump 0.09 light years longer jump than one should be able to (this without any jumponium or other boost usage).

0.36 with a neutron boost I'd call exploiting

I think this rounding issue limits the usage to limited cases and max 0.09 LY irrespective of boosts.
nn.x5 max jump still manages nn.y4 jump (where y = x+1).

I'm not too surprised. Doesn't seem all that exploitable though.

Yeah. More like a curiosity.

Well multiply this with all the jumps you have done

So the trip to beagle point can, under the right circumstances, take 1-2 jumps less? This sure is the next mass exploit after tomorrow's patch
