FTL Drive Specifications

See Jump Drive#Jump Drive Specifications, with which Hop Drive shares many similarities. The velocity is 10-fold. The various grades are 8 TLs later than their equivalent Jump Drive grade (Hop-1 at TL-17 though Hop-6 at TL-23), so no major group has access to Hop Drive before then. Entry and exit is typically at 1,000 planetary diameters instead of 100.
