-In standard Oolite, the Galactic Hyperdrive warps you to the nearest chart location that matches your previous one. That means, if you are at the corner of the galaxy in Galaxy 1, you will end up at the same corner of Galaxy 2 after the jump.

-The system chosen is the one encompassed by the smallest rectangular search box centered on (96,96).
