Jump Improvements?

Hey, Granpa, I didn't see your post before you raised the mouse question. I like your solutions for the jump sections. It is something I was thinking about for a little while but just didn't have a chance to communicate with you about it.

Personally I like solution 1, as it additionally allows specific routes to have their own notoriety. Sure, the route might get easy and hence boring with time, but isn't that only fair? After all, can't the player expect to become adept at a route they ply repeatedly? It works well with story telling as well, as you might need certain 'famous' pilots to fly specific routes. Not unlike Han Solo perhaps?
