Nebulae and general space travel...

Howdy all.  Long time gamer here but still kinda new to SF, although I own the blue box and Knight Hawks, I have never been able to play other than a few basic scenarios.<br />     I have always had a problem trying to grasp space travel in SF.  It seems like they are limited to travelling to and from stars,  so what if I just wanted to go that-a-way and see what I find?  I guess I could just pick a point,  say 10 LT years that-a-way and make the calcs ect,  with a misjump still meaning I am within 10 LT years of that point in space but I guess I wanted to hear what you seasoned gamers have to say.  If you allow that kind of jumping,  how do you handle it?<br />     I also have a question about nebulae,  how do you handle them?  Seems like you cant jump through them,  I guess they block the scans.  Do you allow travel through them?  I obviously don't know anything about them in real life other than the basic &quot;clouds of stuff in space&quot;.  <br />     I am sorry if this has been covered elsewhere in the forums,  if so could you please direct me to any existing discussion?  I also wanted to thank you all for some really interesting info,  been lurking on this site for a while.<br />
