Sector Fleet p.79 has a paragraph on squadron jumps which clusters the arrival time within a 2 hour window. I don't know if that's something I like in MTU; I think I prefer combat tenders in a situation where multiple ships have to get somewhere at the same time.

I also saw that MgT HG does have rules for a stealth jump drive which forces the sensor platform to succeed at a difficult check instead of automatically detecting the arrival of a ship from jump.
