[Sci-fi General] When Starships make long journeys, do they travel in short hops to avoid collisions with large objects, or can the ship bank up/down/left/right to a limited extent while at warp/hyperspace in order to avoid things?

You might be under the misapprehension that there's enough matter hanging around in space for this to be a problem.  Space is big.  Real big.  For the vast majority of any journey there's a whole lot of nothing.  Large objects are vanishingly rare.
