-**Continuum Distortion Drive:** 1,000c (0.002 ly/m). After receiving basic CDD schematics and a couple of functioning drives from the Nepleslian Empire, Freespacer gearheads reverse-engineered them and came up with an alternative version, slower, but far more cost-efficient, requiring less maintenance, and with an astounding fuel-per-lightyear ratio, proving once again the Freespacer design philosophy of "minimum buck for maximum bang". +Continuum Distortion Drive: 1,000c (0.002 ly/m).

 Range: The ecosystem can last for about three months before needing external supplies (water, oxygen, chemicals). Fissile fuel usually lasts for a year. Less than that if the shuttle uses a lot of power traveling long distances at FTL speeds. More than that if it relies on solar sails for movement, solar panels for energy, and keeps FTL and energy consumption at a minimum. Range: The ecosystem can last for about three months before needing external supplies (water, oxygen, chemicals).

 Combat Travellers designed for bombing and anti-starship duty can usually mount one [[faction:freespacers:list_of_free_state_weapon_systems#pseudonova_emp_nuclear_cruise_missile| Pseudonova]] missile on an external pylon. One possible tactic could be staging massive swarm attacks against enemy capital ships, with numerous Travellers hyper-jumping into the battlefield as short range, launching missiles from different angles, and then hyper-jumping back out, thereby providing Pseudonova missiles with FTL capability without wasting resources to build a FTL drive only to be vaporized when the missile hits its target. Combat Travellers designed for bombing and anti-starship duty can usually mount one [[faction:freespacers:list_of_free_state_weapon_systems#pseudonova_emp_nuclear_cruise_missile| Pseudonova]] missile on an external pylon.

 By synchronizing their efforts through Polysentience, the combined volume of fire of multiple, independent, coordinated starship-based and shuttle-based Warding Runes could prove an extremely effective way of shooting down missiles and small crafts. This combination tactic has been nicknamed "Warding Chant Nexus" by Freespacer thinkers.  By synchronizing their efforts through Polysentience, the combined volume of fire of multiple, independent, coordinated starship-based and shuttle-based Warding Runes could prove an extremely effective way of shooting down missiles and small crafts.
