this may be a picking nits as it were but a gravity well is a model of how much an objects gravity has warped space not how strong the field is. the strength of gravity is always constant its the mass and density of the target object that determines how warped the space around it is so two objects ...

I think that you misunderstood how Jump drives work. Large Mass = Greater pull/Bigger gravity well. Umm, that's what I was saying. "Bigger" as in "wider" / "greater pull" depends on the mass. "Bigger" as in "deeper" / "how close to the star can you get without being inside" also depends on the mass...

Actually, that's not how General Relativity works. The depth of a well depends on a star's mass, no matter what diameter it is. Gravity always decreases with the square of the distance. There cannot be such a thing as a "shallow but deep" gravity well. What's actually dangerous is hitting the star i...
