Transwarp - Way to reduce lag?

Had a thought that I think will help cut down on the lag and server load problems.

It seems to me that there is a lot of unnecessary traffic in Sol and its surrounding systems. Naturally, since it is a hub, most traffic goes through this sector regularly. But it is also the lower-level sector.

Higher ranked players have to travel here for no other reason than to get to the next couple sectors over... increasing lag in areas they don't really want/need to be in. So here's my thought.

Create a transwarp interface that allows you to choose the sector you want to be in, and you transwarp there, essentially skipping the sectors/servers you don't need to be in, thus reducing unnecessary load on sectors/servers that others use.

Now I know that for some reason MMOs are timesink happy, and travel as it is is just that, a timesink. But maybe if you wish, put the transwarp conduits on the same timer Sol's is? Hopefully less. Really, what is the logic for a captain to have to travel 20 minutes to get to their content?

Less players in one sector = less instances = less server load.
