Safe Zone / Offline alternative - sitting in Hyperspace

[Spacefaring_Guy]

Within the mechanics of the game, what if you could enter hyperspace but not come back until you wanted to do so?  Perhaps it could be triggered by attempting to jump back to the same sector you're already in.

 

Your own little pocket universe, in which your ship is essentially in stasis.  Batteries and shields don't recover, crew is frozen and doesn't need to be paid, there's nothing to shoot, and (most importantly) you can't be found by other players or bots to be attacked while you're AFK.

 

And it doesn't help you cheat in any way, because you have to return right to where you left from (though perhaps a battle might have ended while you were gone, this is no different from successfully jumping to another sector except that you can't repair your ship).

This could also be where you are when jumping between sectors, while your staring at the "press space to continue" screen, instead of sitting out where you can be shot or have others jump into you (in the case of a gate). It makes a LOT of sense in that context and supports your idea.

 

Instead of jumping to the same sector, maybe you could log off while at the "space to continue" screen?

I would love to be "in stasis" while at the press space bar screen...
