Would be a good idea to add in the "galaxy map" an option to jump to the desired discovered star in double or triple systems. Some stations are too far (Ex Proxima Centauri)
Jumping to THIS star suggestion

- Start date
No reason to be a jerk.
Search is not always easy to use to find a specific topic. I hadn't heard this suggestion and didn't even think of it til I read this post. So for me, it was a good post.
Especially since I just flew 200,000 Ls to get to a station...which was completely boring..took 20 mins or so (didn't time it)
Agree with you Op, thanks.

I would personally not want this to be included.
The system as it stands works very well in many ways, choke points for pirate/trader/bounty hunter interaction for example.

Yeah, the search feature is worse than Bing!
However, the poster is correct. The topic has been suggested a million times. Devs have said they might consider some intra-system jump between starts, but that could be dev talk for "Yeah, right, not bleedin' likely"

And very badly in some ways. Micro-jumps to another star in the same system will NOT reduce the scope for interdiction, much the opposite: instead of a huge long run from star 1 to station around star 2 you'd have a jump from star 1 to star 2 and then the run from star 2 to the station. Pirates are not going to lurk halfway along a 200,000ls run because it's stupid, the damage they'd incur from an interdiction if the victim does not submit when going at hundreds of times the speed of light would far outweigh any likely reward, far better to lurk along a shorter run where the victims are not going so fast.
Also jumps should only be possible to a star greater than a minimum distance away, I'd suggest 100,000ls but this would need a bit of experimentation to get the optimum minimum distance.
