Dolphins: Ships moved by teleporting forward bits at a time. Constantly Acceleration until the mid point of the trip, followed by deceleration. Useful because you could not be intercepted by other races in deep space, too fast, but still forced to fight closer in system. Also, if they picked up speed in the combat, sometimes they could teleport to the other side of missiles.

Humans: Fastest travel, sort of, but exclusively through warp paths. So no being intercepted or intercepting in deep space, and had to follow the warp lines in attack and expansion.

Furries: Had a “standard” hyperspace, uniform speed through journey, slower than humans and Dolphins.

Insects: My favorite. No FTL travel except instant ports through gates. You had to spend a gateship at STL speeds with a fleet big enough to keep it safe (if you were attacking another planet) then you could port whatever you wanted via gate network instantly in turn mode, or slowly during a battle. Only ever needed 1 fleet for defense, but attack fleets were antique and existed only to protect the gate ship while it brought a more recent fleet in.
