Ships will automatically use Bypasses if the route is shorter, shown on the starmap by a blue travel line. The number of Bypasses can be adjusted at settings before the start of a game session. Both offer instantaneous travel but require research in order to be usable. There are two types of Bypasses in Stellaris: wormholes and gateways.

The rolling subspace tide around the Corrupted Avatar system will recede once the system has been entered at least once via its wormhole. Both Experimental Subspace Navigation and Tactical Jumps can be used to leave the said systems however. The L-Cluster as well as the system housing the Corrupted Avatar guardian cannot be entered via either Experimental Subspace Navigation or Tactical Jumps and attempting to do so will show a notification about rolling subspace tides allowing only conventional travel. Experimental Subspace Navigation can be used to bypass impassable areas such as a guarded system, a closed empire's borders or the galactic core. During the transit the ship is considered MIA. The Speculative Hyperlane Breaching technology enables science ships led by a scientist Leader to travel directly to a destination, ignoring the hyperlane network. After jumping the fleet spends 200 days recharging, during which time it suffers -50% Sublight Speed and Weapons Damage.Д®xperimental Subspace Navigation

Tactical Jumps allow a ship or fleet to instantly travel to any system within a large range indicated by a yellow dotted circle. Ships equipped with Jump Drives or Psi Jump Drives can execute Tactical Jumps. Hostile fleets can only leave a system with an FTL inhibitor through the same hyperlane they entered from. Home systems of Space Creatures that haven't been investigated with the initial special project are also restricted.ДЇTL Inhibitors are devices present inside Fortress buildings and at least Starport level starbases once the FTL Inhibition technology is researched. Systems that are restricted because of closed borders are shown in red on the galaxy map.

The Psi Jump Drive harnesses the psionic potential of the ship's crew to warp the local space-time continuum, eliminating the distance between the point of origin and the destination. The nature of the space the ship passes through on this journey is still poorly understood. The Jump Drive tears ship-sized holes in the very fabric of reality, allowing for near-instantaneous movement between systems. Ships equipped with Hyper Drives travel swiftly between the edges of star systems along interstellar hyperlanes. Conversely, a half value connects the galaxy linearly, with most systems having only two hyperlanes, allowing for a highly defensive game. A double value creates a very unrestricted game where interdiction is next to impossible. The Hyperlane Density setting determines the number of hyperlanes individual systems can have. Ships move at sublight speed until they reach a hyperlane entry point (shown as an arrow on the system map). A hyperlane network predates all other known construction in the galaxy and connects the star systems together to allow interstellar travel, although some systems may be more isolated than others.
