Default FTL propulsion in progress

Not a mod, but a map, compatible with all mods.

It works like this:
Ships at the perimeter of a system are far enough from gravity wells to enter hyperspace.
One MP to "warp" into or out of hyperspace.
Once in hyperspace, 1MP moves you 1 square on the galaxy map. This is aproximately 100 times the speed of light using one movement point.
Hyperspace systems have a Random movement ability of 20 Lightyears per month, so beware; slow ships can easily be lost.

-----------------------------

As a note, I've finished:
16/16 hyperspace systems
104/208 hyperspace intraconnections.
0/1320 hyper-to-normalspace interconnections(24 per system * 55 systems)

As such, I estimate that I am 8% done.

I expect this to take a total of 12 hours, at 30 seconds per warppoint.

May I have a show of hands for who would use this map? I need all the encouragement I can get, because creating warppoints with the map editor is dreadfully boring and the FPS games are calling .
