Thanks.

I'd like to get ideas on several types of FTL, possibly a "warp drive" type, a "hyperdrive" type and a "jump" type that all work differently and have different effects.

A 'warp drive" might be slower but allow the ship to view the outside universe, and perhaps receive messages via some type of comm device (Molecular bifurcation, perhaps?)

A "hyperdrive" might shunt the ship out of the known universe and into a form of hyperspace, then allow it to shunt back into the universe. Perhaps faster than warp, but isolates the ship from all contact with this universe.

A jump drive might be instant, but perhaps risk misjumping if the jump was not perfectly calculated.
