		⚫	* '''Fast-Lane Travel''': 700% speed, only when skipping entire systems, does not consume fuel cells also fuel cells in the cargo dont speed Fast Travel up ontop.
⚫	* '''Plasma Fuel Cell''': 280% speed
			The formula is the following: Base Ship Speed x (either) Plasma Fuel Cell -> Base Speed is multiplied by 280% or the Ion Fuel Cell by 300%. With Fast Travel its Base Speed x 700%

	Warp speed heavily depends on the ship's speed statistic. Some ships are fast, and some like transporters can be notoriously slow. Travel time can be speed up with Fuel Cells - a consumable item that can be turned on or off within the ship's Cargo bay. There are currently 2 types of Fuel - Plasma and Ion, with the Ion Fuel Cells giving a much larger speed boost.		Warp speed heavily depends on the ship's base travel speed statistic.

	Navigation is one of basic concepts in Vanguard Galaxy. The known and accessible galaxy is divided into star systems, connected by gates, and filled with Points of Interest (POIs). It is navigated by clicking on a target destination - ship will enter warp speed and travel to destination in a straight line. If the destination is in another system, [[ECHO]] will determine the fastest route how to get there, and will perform interstellar travel through the gates.
