The last time this was done (that I remember) the plan failed.
During Alpha when there were no fuel limitations someone travelled from one system to another.
When you get there you're in the right place, so to speak, but there are no assets / station / stars - the game thinks you're still in the previous zone just a long way away from the star .. Essentially you have to hyperspace to jump to the new "location" (think rooms in space)
I honestly do not think that Frontier will have given a jot of resources to "fix" this since then as, well who cares ? (It doesn't need fixing, but some people are just mental and like watching stars scroll by .. oh wait - hello supercruise !

)
Total shame, but understandable given the nature of ED being MP.
edit:
