Unfortunately, you cannot "jump to Conclusion", although the game does acknowledge the command.) At those planets, you buy or sell exotic goods, upgrade yourself and your ship, restock on fuel, arrest some criminals, deliver some packages, and perhaps learn about one or two other planets. (A nice reward for out-of-the-box thinking that the game's restricted verb list otherwise cannot provide for. Or you have to guess the name, something that is by no means impossible and got me to quite a number of planets I would not otherwise have encountered.
Exploration is simple - you just "jump" to a planet, although you'll have to learn the name of the planet first. We have, then, a game that is sharply focused on a few activities, but gives us a lot of freedom in when and whether we engage in them. This gives the game its strange feel of being both extremely limited (at any location you can just do a few things) and extremely expansive (from each planet, you can jump to every single planet you have discovered, and you keep discovering more). Even the "examine" verb has been disabled. In order to make this size manageable, the planets are implemented very lightly: there's just a few things you can interact with, and those interactions are mostly restricted to "talk", "take", "buy", and "sell". The game's main selling point is the sheer size of the galaxy: by the end of the game, I had visited no fewer than 44 planets, and I think I may have missed out on a few, since I didn't seem to have the necessary objects to complete absolutely every side quest. In Superluminal Vagrant Twin, you explore the galaxy as you attempt to collect enough cash to rescue your twin.
