In almost every sci-fi that has a concept of hyper-drive there's always a requirement beforehand to plot a course before jumping.
Failure to do so ends up with aforementioned ship becoming space dust.
Before making that calculation though, to anyone outside, it might look like the ship is standing pretty still no? Like they're not doing a thing, making progress, iterating, or shipping?
Well, that is until they make the jump, then they look real dang quick.
