Supposed to, yes. There were animations early in the game's development 
(a la X2's jumps), but were inexplicably scrapped and torn from the game.

I've heard that a great way is to set up an automatic trade route 
through favorable space, set your SETA to 10x, and let the game run 
overnight with SETA engaged. Huzzah, you've just done 80 hours worth of 
trading, and should be up to your eyeballs in cash.
