[Diaspora] Hyperspace visualization

[Rob Barrett]

Here's a question I have about the slipstreams and the slipstream points.  The diagram in the rulebook positions them above the north and south poles of a system's star--off the plane of the elliptic.  Are we to imagine that there are multiple slipstream entryways at these points (if a system is connect to multiple systems)?  Or does a ship slipping to System A use Setting 1 whereas it uses Setting 2 on the drive if it plans to go to System B?

Best,

Rob
