Reality Drive. Based on Reality Manipulation. The drive constantly revises reality so the ship is slightly over that way closer to the destination. If it collides with a world, or obstruction, it revises reality to that didn't happen. There's a whole set of rules governing it so it doesn't get out of hand.
