I seem to recall somewhere that this was mentioned.
We know that a ship maintains its vector when it enters and leaves jump. If it's travelling spinward at 10,000km/s when it enters jump, it will be traveling spinward at 10,000km/s when it exits jump.
But I have it in my little brain that it was mentioned somewhere that ships can still apply and use their M Drives in jump, and thus change the vector that they left the normal space in before they return to normal space.
JTAS 24 makes no mention of it, so that suggest that "no" you can't do this.
But I think I've seen this someplace else. Maybe it's GT thing.
Or, I'm hallucinating again. This is what happens when you sleep with deprived oxygen because of a cat resting on your head at night.
