I started a new game with this option turned on, but when I tried to put my ships through the first jump point I found I got the "Transit Failure: Geosurvey Task Group cannot carry out its standard transit order as at least one ship is larger than the ship with the highest jump rating. No friendly or allied jump ships are available for escort" event log. Does this feature not work as intended or am I doing something wrong? Here's my geosurvey ship:
