Is it possible (and are there official rules) to purposefully make a random jump with a conveyor? Or more generally to make a jump if you don't have a pre-plotted course?

I know it mentions that there is a danger of people randomly hunting for Reich-5, and also that some worlds have their coordinates predicted by theory (implying that there are other important methods for finding worlds), which makes me think that it is possible.

Also, on the random "bad jump results" table it is possible to end up in a timeline other than the one you were aiming for, so it stands to reason if you can do something by accident that you can also do it in purpose.

Any thoughts?
