There is no FTL in mechanoids like Phase World. It uses jump system.

The Mechanoids use a psionic jump system from a race called Phi-Warpers. The speed of travel varies as it takes 30 days to travel 100k LY while it only takes 60 day to travel 500k LY. All the charts are in the Mechanoid Trilogy book pg163-165.

Other races use one of four different tech based jump systems with a max range of 1k LY for the cheapest to 100k LY for the most expensive. Time of travel varies too. Tables are Pages 176-177.

Truthfully, I have always preferred these jump systems to the FTL of Phase World.

I hope this helped.
