If you have jump drive you'd never do this unless you
*wanted* to
waste a month for some reason. Because you can do it in a

I never really liked 'microjumps' so I never used them.
As I recall, in CT, J1 was the least a ship could go.
(BTW, was 'microJ' introduced in CT, or was it part of MT?)
So, I was thinking of a jaunt out to a 'Neptune-equiv' distance, or maybe even beyond Pluto, as part of an adventure.
