Ever wished you where somewhere else instantly. With the Kerbin Science Foundry faster than light (FTL) drive you can! Just spin it up to create an instant reality dysfunction that might, just might transport you instantly to another point in space.
To actually end up where you want to go, instead of experiencing a permanent fatal reality dis-coherence (i.e. your ship goes puff, aka. explodes) there are a few recommendations to observe:
Place a FTL beacon where you want to go, otherwise, the FTL drive cannot get a lock on your target destination and will refuse to even spin up. Never, never, ever spin up the drive in a strong gravity field, keep far away from planets, suns, and other heavy objects. Other than that the FTL drive holds the promise to revolutionize interplanetary transfers and to take the grind out of flying vessels from one point in the Kerbol system to another.
Version 0.2.5.2 for Kerbal Space Program 1.12.3
Released on 2022-04-25
Fixed harmless exception reverting to the editor from flight
Thanks to github user @epower53 for this:
Fixed the non-EC resource consumption on jump execution. Now only EC will be drained, while other resources are left as-is.
Version 0.2.5.1 for Kerbal Space Program 1.12.3
Released on 2022-03-31
Fixed exceptions in the Editor
Fixed error in Forecast window when in flight (was incorrectly calculating the Optimum height)
Version 0.2.5 for Kerbal Space Program 1.12.3
Released on 2022-03-30
Thanks to github user @unquietwiki for these: Fix null power issu Changes the "explode" event to do a 50% chance of that, and a 50% chance of doing an "Event Horizon" event (FTL drive kills crew, but not ship). Unknown if lost Kerbals go to Hell
Version 0.2.4 for Kerbal Space Program 1.12.3

Version 0.2.1.3 for Kerbal Space Program 1.4.3
Released on 2018-05-20
Removed check for ToolbarController Fixed nullref when loading vessel in Editor More optimizations of loops, putting the Count() at the first and decrementing, eliminates the need to recalculate the count every loop Moved all calculations out of the Update() and FixedUpdate() methods into a CoRoutine
Added following functionality: Drives have a resource in the game and a value However much EC was used for the jump, that much of the additional resource would be used also. For example, if the line jumpResourceDef = ExoticMatter, 0.05
was added to the drive config and 400EC was used for the jump, then 20 Exotic Matter would also be used.
Added new field to support this: jumpResourceDef = ExoticMatter, 0.10
Added new setting for initial horizontal window position Fixed exploding the parts of the vessel in a failed jump (was getting issue with a foreach having entries removed)

Version 0.1.5 for Kerbal Space Program 1.2.1
Released on 2016-11-24
Updated stacking to be a descending exponential curve for additional drives. It is now using the formula: force * 1.4 ^ (-cnt) Where force = generated force by drive cnt = cnt of additional drive mode. So this means that the following applies to additional drives: Drive # Multiplier 2 0.714285714 3 0.510204082 4 0.364431487 5 0.260308205 6 0.185934432 7 0.132810309 8 0.094864506 9 0.067760362 10 0.048400258
