This can be anything from Hyperspace in Star Wars, Warp Drive in Star Trek, travel through the Warp in Warhammer 40k or anything else.

I've always liked "slow" FTL travel, where going a few light-years still takes a few days or so. I also really like travel through an alternate dimension like in 40k, Event Horizon, Witchspace in Elite Dangerous.

I wanna know your favorite versions, or do you prefer stories that obey the laws of known physics, like the Expanse or Rimworld?

thats why sg1,sga, sgu had the foresight of using probes, so they wouldnt be ambushed, they rarely are. the biggest limitation for a gate is how long it can stay open, unless you have unlimted power sorce, like black hole or zpms, or anubis gate destroying device.

ori solves this issue by using a supergate powered by a small blackhole, can be a natural one too. asgard solely use thier very fast intergalatic hyperdrives, so they dont need stagates all the time. aside from the zpm power atlantis, they can fly across the galaxy in a matter of minutes or seconds. while even the deadalus takes some time because its a weaker powered ship.
