Quote:How well known/how well used is the FTL "fast transit" method of getting around the Outer Solar System?

It's known, but it's not used.

The Limit is 40 AU out from Sol. Based on the mass-variable speed drive engines that are most common in Fenspace it takes anywhere between 2 and 23 days to reach from the inner system. Pretty much everywhere worth going to in Fenspace is already within 12-24 hours flight time, usually less the faster the engine. So taking a multi-day detour to go FTL to shave off a half-hour on the transit is... well, yeah.
