You were lucky with those mis-jumps Gernot!
Just for fun, when I had one, I sent out a distress call and set the stardreamer to max to see what would happen. To my surprise after a good long time, pirates appeared and attacked me! How they got there is a mystery to me. I guess the game (FE2) must randomly generate pirates around the player no matter were they happen to be. That can be really annoying at times when you are stalking a ship during an assassination. There is me hiding in a crater well away from a starport and waiting patiently for my mark to take off, when I get attacked. If I am too early and the mark noticed the altercation, they wont take off or worse, the police notice then I have to deal with a load of Vipers too. Mission fail!
As I have said before, FE2 can throw some crazy situations at you at times.
