Yes. 21:9. Not 16:9. My screen runs at 2560px x 1080px natively - a step up is 3440px x 1440px, but that monitor was too rich for my blood. Several screens are looking good <img src="http://i.imgur.com/xPemZJr.jpg" alt="" height="27
Also, another thing with FTL in BSG is margin of error - if you can calculate it, you would go across the galaxy in one jump. If you can't calculate it - you can get somewhere far away in one jump, not not where you wanted to go. Reminds me of the wormhole anomalies. That could be a research item - extend the green zone where you can jump safely.
A realistic tech to having to do with these is a Gravitational Slingshot - ships passing a planet-ed area get a significant speed boost. It's been done with several space missions already - which, of course, didn't have hyperdrive. For a long time, we have known of extrasolar planets that are pretty much useless for life. Now we've found a use: to use the pull of their gravity to slingshot us away from them.
