To add to this, its like a ship staying close to shore you don't want to travel too far from civilization when in this kind of situation. If something went wrong they would have a very far distance to "limp" to get to somewhere safe. I bet even in Star Trek leaving the galactic plane would be considered dangerous. I think in the end it's still space and they are still human. Only a few malfunctions away from disaster I would rather stay close to safely.
