If you do come up with some creative way around this, please let me know!
What if you made all jump drives work to the same distance, say 50 light years or less, and then layed out you quadrant maps so that all non-hyperspace systems are at least 60 light years apart. Place some hyperspace systems in between, and then you would only be able to open warp points to and from hyperspace. Place some long distance warp points connecting the hyperspace systems at the begining. The only problem I can think of then is if a player makes the mistake (or does it on purpose for that matter) of closing one of these long distance hyper warps there will be no way to reopen them.
