Age of Stars

Modes of propulsion in Age of Stars universe.

* Normalspace mode - using your usual fusion thrusters. Mostly used during combat and precise manoeuvrers.

* Hypercruise mode - in this mode, hyperdrive creates anomalous zone warping space-time, that acts like a speed multiplier. Allows to achieve effective speed up to 0,5c, can't be engaged near massive objects. Mostly used for in-system transits.

* Hyperspace mode - in this mode, ships leaves our 3D-universe and transits into a higher-dimesional plane. Navigation in hyperspace is rather weird and can be really dangerous, but it is still possible. Hyperspace travels are far from instantaneous - they can take days, weeks and even months... But it's still better, then centuries in normalspace.

Hyperdrive was initially created in 2113 by international Russian-Japanese team, lead by Takahashi Oono and Alexander Granitskiy, based on updated Alcubierre theory and utilising exotic extradimensional properties of certain Moscovium isotope (known as Thornium).

Hyperspace transit creates rather specific radiation signature (known as Takahashi Radiation), due to exotic 4D particles collapse while they enter 3D normalspace.
