Incorrect Jump Point to Planet Travel Times #533

Description

@akritedes

What went wrong

When conducting a normal transit from Tigress to Xhosa VII, I noticed the estimated travel time was significantly higher than I had expected. On inspecting the Xhosa VII system, it showed a time to jump point of 124.32 days. This seemed unusually high, and on a follow-up fact check I found that sources from Sarna.net and official CGL books showed a much lower transit time from jump point to planet. I've included screenshots of the system and its information in MekHQ, as well as a clip from the Draconis Reach book (pg. 120) detailing what I believe to be the most recent CGL data for the system. I've also attached the campaign save zip from the bug reporting built into MekHQ.

I did notice that in addition to the transit time mismatch, the star type and surface gravity were also off, although I don't believe the latter is likely to have an impact on the transit times.

What you expected instead

I expected a transit time of something around between a few days to a month for the in-system jump point to planet Dropship hop.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Launch MekHQ.
  2. Load campaign save or start new campaign.
  3. Open Interstellar Map tab and search "Xhosa VII" in Find Planet search bar.
