If you fly about 3000-4000 ls away from the star and then turn and fly roughly towards the star, you'll be able to see the planets moving against the star field. This is the parallax method used by explorers before they can afford an ADS.
(The ADS should never have had infinite range in my opinion, so this should still have been required to locate very distant companions).
Ah man.... I am failing at this... In the spirit of the CG...
if anyone is currently in system... if HIP 11879 1 is at 12 o'clock (from "above?") what o'clock is HIP 11879 2?
