Further thoughts on FTL modes. The analogy is horses and riverboats.
It's
somewhat faster and a lot cheaper to take a boat than a pack horse--if
the
river goes where you want.
Many stars will not have "rivers" to them, though, which means that the
Tier 2 nations which occupy such stars will have an easier time
defending
them from Tier 1 -- or more accurately, Tier 1 will find it just as hard
to
get to those stars as Tier 2 finds it to get to any.
