Do Grubbers have anti-gravity?

The implication is that no one else has it.

The CH works with clock and counter clockwise slings. Once you find the CH in a system, you can go back from where you came. You can also go somewhere new.

The implication is that you do not come out at a slingshot. You need to find it and that may take some time.

So each CH takes you two places.

If you can't find the CH, you can take the slow path home.

Again, the Clans are more accepting of doing so, and the XTC corporate ships are less so inclined.

Plants won't grow in hyperspace. If a journey takes too long, crew has to go into cold sleep.

The first mention of hyperspace and that slingshots take you out of normal space. At this point, I'm leaning against this and towards having 4 costs to travel.
