### Warp

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuous drive, requires negative energy, rather stealthy
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Slingshot
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discrete drive, not stealthy at all, nomen est omen
|
|
|
|
|
ship gets accellerated to near lightspeed by internal means. Because of photons
|
|
|
|
|
"reflecting" from the ship it generate a characteristic radiation pattern, which
|
|
|
|
|
can be observed far and wide.
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
### Jump drive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discrete drive, computation heavy, can be unreliable at targeting
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Gateways
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Discrete drive, needs specialized structures/stations
|
|
|
|

### Tachyon sails
