Unfortunately, it doesn't do Star Wars justice. I look to the
preparations for the last battle in ROTJ ... 36 fighters FTL in very
close proximity, followed hotly by 25 frigates, cruisers and capitol
ships ...then all emerge almost all on top of one another. In SW, I know
the main thing is no massive gravitic bodies in your flight path ...
that's why Interdictor cruisers work so well.

We had a battle where a rebel transport was being attacked and it went
to
FTL ... in FT terms it took forever (2 turns) ... but in SW, they warm
and zooooom ... c'ya.

Any ideas?
