| Jul 10, 2020 at 3:58 | comment | added | Mark Morales II | @Aganju Or maybe you were asking if I meant 1 to 4 jumps per year rather than per day. I meant per day, despite how crazy that may sound. | |
| Jul 10, 2020 at 3:52 | comment | added | Mark Morales II | @Aganju No I meant what it says there. This civilization is obsessed with economic efficiency and profit maximization. Some jump routes are more profitable than others. To plan the jumps years in advance would be like planning stock exchanges on Wall Street years in advance. You don't know which companies will be the most successful (and hence have the most valuable stocks) on a given day years down the line, just like they don't know which planets they'll want to be in contact with on a given day years down the line. But thanks for asking. :) | |

| Jul 9, 2020 at 22:39 | comment | added | Mirror318 | @MarkMoralesII well that could be the villain's plan all along... | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 22:33 | comment | added | Mark Morales II | @Mirror318 Yeah, that's a possibility! I like the musical chairs analogy... as long as no one starts pulling out the chairs... | |
| Jul 9, 2020 at 21:03 | comment | added | Mirror318 | I feel like adding a planet to any solar system would be quite disruptive to everything around it—but one option is that each planet is roughly the same size, and the jump switches places (like musical chairs) | |
