Forgot all about 'micro-jumps'.
I don't believe that existed when I joined up (c.1980) & I've never used them.
Does anyone know when 'micro-jumps' first appeared?

Depending
on how many gees your ship can pull, there's a cutover
point where microjumping a given distance is faster than
going there through normal space. Microjumping is almost
always going to be safer (assuming well-maintained drives),
since you can't hit a stray pebble at hundreds of km/s
along the way.
