' Wrote:Um, Dusty... there's a direct jump hole between Texas and California, my Hacker uses it all the time. I can't see how Virginia would be a shortcut.
The jumphole from Texas to California starts in the middle of nowhere and ends in the middle of nowhere.
The Virginia passage starts close to a tradelane and ends close to a tradelane. It's just the matter of the middle part, what with the shooting and the screaming and the onoez 298 guardians with guardian guns and the battleship.
The point being that the short dangerous road can be utilized to zip ahead of the slow plodding guy using the long safe road.
