Does indeed look like our warp drive with some concert mathematical hooks the basic idea is very old though remember some pulp age SF that used similar concepts.

SPEC is hardly one of Vega Strike's inventions. The concept of moving bubbles of space-time was proposed by Alcubierre in 1994 (and since I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to sci-fi chronology, it might have been proposed in less [mathematical] seriousness before then).
And as to the implementation of it in Real Lifeâ„¢...

Exactly how the 11th dimension would be expanded and shrunk is still unknown.
Those quotes pretty much sum up how realistic this is at present day."That's about the amount of energy you'd get if you converted the entire mass of Jupiter into pure energy via E = mc^2," said Cleaver, an energy far beyond anything humanity can currently envision creating.

Doing away with inertia was also a popular fictional hack to obtain FTL lots of inertia-less drives in pre-50's SF.

I don't i haven't figured it out either i use the 3D map utility in the Dev Tools and User utilities section it's out of game though so requires some planning before you launch the game.By the way how do you use the nav computer anyways?
