This seems to me to be a game focused on piloting your ship, so I suggest making it more fun to jump, add some mechanic that requires player skill to achieve... so it can be rewarding, and make it optional for ex: adding a new tech like, let's say... calling it "slingshot" and what is does: when you jump to a star, before you come out from the jump let's say last 5 sec you get an option to enter slingshot, so when you activate you come out of the jump at a high speed and you have to follow a specific path around the star (here is where the skill aspect comes into play, so make that somewhat challenging) and if you complete that successfully you get another prompt that you have 5 sec to activate that allows you to instant jump into hyperspace for your next location. and I would personally love to see more mechanics like that in terms of gameplay , would make the game much more fun imo.
