| - Short Description By integrating the 4th and 5th dimensions it is now possible to research a new kind of drive that is more economical and efficient. Long Description In theory, the idea of hyperspace travel relies on the existence of a separate and adjacent dimension. When activated, a hyperspace drive shunts the starship into this other dimension, where it can cover vast distances in an amount of time greatly reduced from the time it would take in "normal" space. Once it reaches the point in hyperspace that corresponds to its destination in real space, it re-emerges. Once a sufficient level of Hyperspace Technology is researched, the Hyperspace Drive is no longer just a theory.
- The Hyperspace Drive is a technology that allows the construction of Battle Ships, Bombers, Battlecruisers, Destroyers, and Deathstars. In addition, all ships that use the Hyperspace Drive will have their Base Speed increased by 30% for every level of the Hyperspace Drive technology. After upgrading to level 8 of the Hyperspace Drive, the base speed of the Bomber increases and will henceforth proceed to use the Hyperspace Drive instead of the Impulse Drive when calculating speed and fuel efficiency.

Long Description In theory, the idea of hyperspace travel relies on the existence of a separate and adjacent dimension.

- The Hyperspace Drive is a technology that allows the construction of Battle Ships, Bombers, Battlecruisers, Destroyers, and Deathstars. In addition, all ships that use the Hyperspace Drive will have their Base Speed increased by 30% for every level of the Hyperspace Drive technology. In addition to increasing the maximum speed of the appropiate ships, increasing the levels of any drive technology can reduce fuel consumption in one of two ways: First, as the maximum speed increases due to the increase in drive technology, a player could reduce the speed of any fleet that has been affected by the improvement of said drive technology, and thus achieve the same flight in the same amount of time with a decreased consumption of Deuterium. For example, a Small Cargo ship would consume less Deuterium when travelling at 90% maximum speed after obtaining a level 10 Combustion Drive when compared to that of the same Small Cargo ship, on the same flight, travelling at 100% maximum speed using a level 8 Combustion Drive instead (200% - (200%*0.1) = 180%, combustion drive level 8). Second, when a type of ship has had its speed limited by the inclusion of slower ships of a different type in the same fleet, the ships not flying at their normal speed will consume less fuel due to the increase in fuel efficiency from the appropiate improved drive technologies. For example, using Light Fighters in a fleet with a Death Star will automically decrease the speed of the Light Fighters, and thus the Light Fighters will benefit from a decreased fuel consumption with every advancement to the Combustion Drive technology. After upgrading to level 8 of the Hyperspace Drive, the base speed of the Bomber increases and will henceforth proceed to use the Hyperspace Drive instead of the Impulse Drive when calculating speed and fuel efficiency. After upgrading to level 15 of the Hyperspace Drive, the base speed of the Recycler increases and will henceforth proceed to use the Hyperspace Drive instead of the Impulse Drive when calculating speed and fuel efficiency.
