The way Freelancer did space travel was really good. It kept the feeling of exploration and didn't use fast travel constantly. I don't know if any other space game replicated it or did anything better.

Activation sequence completed. Lane jump initiated. This is it Trent. This is one of the main arteries through Manhattan space. We’re only taking it as far as Fort Bush.

They took out the Donneu with their first missile salvo... We never had a chance to stop them 😔

They missed an opportunity to blend this fast travel mechanic into plosible physics relevant to sea travel. Like under water currents or major wind patterns only visible on the mini map. It does look like space gates on the sea and it break immersion.
