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.
