Just curious is the intent now for ESN to be slower than Hyper-lane travel but allow science ships to by-pass blocked/dangerous territory or is this just a mistake?

That has always been the intent
I'd like it to use the straight line distance though instead of the hyperlane distance. Then you could also use it to take short cuts when the hyperlanes take a very roundabout route

Prior to 2.2 it DID use straight distance and was OFTEN faster than hyper-lane travel.
I guess they wanted a simple solution that made it unattractive except for jumping over blocked systems without introducing faster edge cases
This is entirely possible but it is a change from how ESN worked prior to Megacorp, so I'd just like to know if it is intended or a bug.
