It is not quite as simple as that. We have much longer range(but not infinite) on our jumps and can ignore the hyperlanes. However, other empires still can close their borders to us. We can't jump into Imperium or Buhavilaa space for example. To get to the Uri Hegemony, we have to take a trip around their territory. I'm estimating roughly 6-9 months for that. This trip will take us through several other empires. If some of them closed their borders in the future, we could find ourselves cut off from being able to travel between the two parts of our empire. It's not likely, but it is a possibility.
