I've never quite understood the whole "enter a fold at high speed"
thing.	I'm looking outside and sitting still.	Of course the
earth is going around the sun at high speed.  The sun is going around
the galactic core at even higher speed.  The Milky Way is
moving away from distant galaxies at near light speed.	It's all
relative.

Personally, for gaming purposes I like jump points.
