You're right, Puke, there's no automatic way before you research your first opener. But once you try the first one out, the map it shows displays the distances you're trying to link.

But even before someone mentioned I could use the Pythagorean theorum, I kinda had an idea. Level 1; leads practically nowhere. Level 5; leads practically anywhere. You can sort of guess what you're trying to connect, and shoot for the correct tech level.

By the time the warp opener ship is built, you might have gained another level or two in stellar manipulation. You'll want to retrofit anyway.
