We had microjumps with wings for a while, when you could lock to a wingmate's beacon and drop out where they are. For some reason that didn't kill the game.
Like the campaigners against getting a proper camera system it does make me laugh sometimes to think back to those who moaned about changes which didnt hurt the game at all and only added a much needed feature.. As for in system micro jumps , i could get onboard with the suggestion of it takes a space in modules and only jumps between stars not other bodies.
