[edit] "Dramatic tension"

While this is obviously one valid way of looking at the limitations of "Jumping" as a method of FTL travel, I don't think it gives a proper explanation. If FTL travel just turns out to work best in the form of "Jumping" or "folding space", it doesn't seem farfetched that there would be recharge or cooldown times associated with the aftermath of such an event. Seriously...we're talking about changing the fabric of space(and possibly -time). Even if only momentarily, I doubt it would just be possible for someone to say "oh, crap, I left the oven on", immediately jump back, and then immediately resume their journey.--Dante (talk) 09:52, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
