PTE the fastest travel?

[DiabloMuerto]

Just starting out in my careerr, just curious if PTE is the fastest form of travel available? seems to take quite a while to get places though I'm sure I might be missing something.

You can also use the warp gates to travel. When using PTE make sure to set all power to engines on the triangle (seems to help).

I like to buy speed booster modules as they only cost 500 each and boost your speed by 75%. Also make sure to get the upgrade on your engines for more speed.

You can fly to those T-gates and get teleported around the map. You can literally go from one corner of the system to the other. There is a fee attached however. Going to the next gate costs about 15k, going across the system is more like 150k or 200k. You can also get the consumable called "t-drive" or something - it allows you to teleport your ship, but you must have uncovered the target location on the map. The longer the t-drive jump, the more charges are used however. And at 35k apiece they aren't exactly free. So, if you are in a hurry, t-drive to the next t-gate, go to a t-gate near target and then t-drive again for the last leg of the journey.
I found those mechanics quite expensive most of the time and often took the slow route. But now I got the biggest, baddest ship out there, am doing the story missions and they often send you to far away places so i used this stuff a bit.

Noone mentioned yet that you should distribute 100% energy for engines alongside using PTE. Move your mouse on ship icon bottom left.

There are also Wormholes and Riftways which provide other forms of "shortcut" to get between certain places.

Wormholes work somewhat like T-Gates and are free to use, but they have some disadvantages compared to T-Gates. They usually come in pairs are not connected to a larger network the way T-Gates are. Also they don't ask for confirmation the way T-Gates have, so you can accidentally fall into them by getting too close and they cause some hull damage when used.

Riftways don't show up on the map (not now at least) but are visible as transparent green "tubes" floating in space. You can use them for free and can travel along them to move very quickly as long as you can stay inside.
That said they have the same quirk as the Wormholes in that they don't ask for confirmation, so you can accidentally fall into them when you don't want to sometimes.

If your playing as a miner/trader I would only use T-gates for the long distance runs only because the fee will cut into your profits. Wormholes are free but you run the risk of damage to your hull.

Worth mentioning that Supra Travel sells a license so it's free to travel through T-Gates, defiantly worth the 250k investment.
