If your arrival vector is uncontrolled then you are safe location but random "orbit", which is fine for a few days... but if the planet isn't jumped again to another "goldilocks zone" around a different star (or possibly the same star) then bad things will happen to the planet over time. Basically, once a planet starts jumping.. it must KEEP jumping until it gets lucky and arrives somewhere in a safe orbit. | |
