Choosing your jump-in point?

Does destination determine jump-in point or is it random?

I haven't had a chance to experiment with this so I don't know, but how does the game determine the position that you arrive at after a phase jump? Is it determined by the location you click in your destination star system to begin the movement and jump process? Or do you come in at a random point in the target system?

Also, is there any setting to cause the 45-degree arc correspinding to each phase lane to display onscreen? I would think this is an extremely valuable bit of information that should be shown to players.

Your starting location in the grav well determines where you will end up at the next gravwell.

i think, i'm not positive, that you come out of the phase lane at the same position you went in from.

I think if you go in right on top of it, you come out right on top of it. If you go in far to one side,, you come out far to one side. (i'm not sure if it mirrors or not)
