BTW using hexes 0.5cm across and this scale, I can fit about
6AU across on the map.	If anyone wants to go conquer
Saturn, you'll have to generate another map--one with lots
of blank space.  I withdraw my suggestion that we drop the
Jump Limit way out there; instead let's go with David
Weber's canon 22 light minutes for a G0 star, which works
out to something like 2.75 AU--watch out for asteroids as
you jump, though.

I'm also slowly creating a worldbuilding spreadsheet.  Plug
in the planet diameter and density, the primary type and
distance from planet, and get things like escape velocity
and local year.
