So, are you saying that to get to another star system all I would have to do is research up to lvl 3 and go to my own sun first and from there click on the other star system's sun? Oh wow! what an totally logical way to jump to an unknown star system, using the massive gravity well of a star to connect to another massive gravity well light years away!!
Thanks for the directions Hack78 and advice on the scout deployments Marinealver.
