## FTL technology
### 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
Continuous drive
