    Faster-than-light (FTL) travel enables ships to navigate the vast distances between star systems, using improved FTL drives that allow for instantaneous jumps. Fleets can initiate FTL travel when any ship reaches a hyperlane jump point, and hyperlanes serve as safe routes connecting systems, varying in density and affecting chokepoints. Initially, hyperlanes must be discovered using sensors, with uncharted ones appearing pale gray and explored ones light blue. Within a star system, ships travel at sublight speeds until reaching a hyperlane entry point, taking 15 days to charge their FTL drive, though advanced drives can speed this up. FTL inhibitors can be added to upgraded starbases, limiting hostile fleets' exit options. Hyper Relays allow ships to jump between adjacent systems quickly, avoiding slower travel, while direct FTL methods like Tactical Jumps enable quick travel to designated systems, though they come with recharge penalties. Ships may go missing in action (MIA) under various circumstances but will eventually return to a starbase. Bypasses such as wormholes and gateways provide instant travel, requiring research to use; wormholes link pairs of systems while gateways connect to any activated gateway. L-Gates are special gateways leading to the L-Cluster and can only be opened through specific projects.
