[Space] [Spaceships] : Mapping Hyperspace onto Truespace . . .

I just realised I didn't even account for movent in Hyperspace. Consider this: a ship 100m long vacates its entry point in HS within 10ms. That means that with a computer coordinated jump pattern, even a fleet of 100 ships could easily jump from the same entry sphere within a few seconds. A planet could handle traffic volumes of thousands of ships a day and never get into the slightest trouble, if there is a ground station handing out jump clearances to all leaving ships.
