Apologies if this has been covered before (particularly if its a topic done to death, heck I probably knew the answer half a decade ago), or its just a stupid question, but I'm curious what the official word is on jump time.
From the Wing Commander bible:
"As has been mentioned several times, the jump takes no time at all, in either the frame of reference of the jump ship or that of an outside observer at either end. The only time required for jump travel is that of travelling to and from jump points"
This was my understanding of the technology, but in Academy Blair and Payback spend the better of the episode travelling through the node. Is this a special case or one of those oversights that inevitably creep into any franchise?
