Seriously, stop saying that.
This is incorrect. Check your facts before you go serious on people.
Quote: In 280 A.S. Ageira Technologies introduces their next advance in technology, the advance which was almost as miraculous as the jump gates revealed almost a century ago. The "Trade Lanes" using a variation of the jump gate architecture could be built along a arbitrary route through systems to accelerate ships to superluminal velocities.
Hmm, it has been a while since I went through SP, but that very early mission with Ashcroft does overturn my idea of spending a long time in a jump hole....ah well, it was an interesting thought I suppose. I will have to assume that there is almost no lag time between entering and exiting because of the way the mission worked....
and yes jump holes are supposed to be scary, but there is no sense in doing anything to make them actually dangerous other than add more lore about them.
