| With astrogation you can shorten the time of the flight with increased difficulty to the roll. Has anyone thought about that for other skill rolls? |

Not quite the same thing as calculating a faster hyperspace route, but this may be applicable to the discussion, R&E p. 81:
| Quote: | Rushing. At your discretion, characters can try to "rush" an action that takes two rounds or longer. (Actions which take one round cannot be rushed.)
A rushing character is trying to do the task in half of the time and the player rolls only half of the character’s skill.
You have final discretion as to whether a task can be rushed. With some tasks — like fixing a starship in a hurry — it's reasonable to say a character could rush, especially if the character is racing a deadline. In other cases, rushing doesn't make much sense. If in doubt, ask the player to justify how the task could be rushed. |

Most often i see the 'rushing' done when someone has a lot of D in a skill, and time is a crunch, such as fixing their ship before the enemy gets there, or hacking that computer to prevent their comrade getting crushed in the trash compactor etc..
