This can be anything from Hyperspace in Star Wars, Warp Drive in Star Trek, travel through the Warp in Warhammer 40k or anything else.
I’ve always liked “slow” FTL travel, where going a few light-years still takes a few days or so. I also really like travel through an alternate dimension like in 40k, Event Horizon, Witchspace in Elite Dangerous.
I wanna know your favorite versions, or do you prefer stories that obey the laws of known physics, like the Expanse or Rimworld?
I like how Stellaris does hyperdrive; certain systems are connected by hyperplanes. Presumably something “man-made” in those systems generates the field and “throws” the ship to the next system.
Similar to Mass Effect except that whereas in Mass Effect, one generator can connect to any other, in Stellaris each one only goes between two points, like a subway.
One of my favourite upgrades in stellaris is the jump drive, because a 120 stop trip to go what is barely above me is rough and id rather just hop the gap.
