What will be the fast travel mechanism if any

[Atmosph3rik]

Fun Fact: A worp gate is a special type of warp gate that only Worf from Star Trek the next generation can travel through.

So it's spelled warp not worp k

Read some of the devblogs, they've stated it before. One example, you will be able to build stargates.

See my reply to your video request:

Watch all videos on YouTube, read the develops, search the forum then come back

Yes. There will be a faster form of travel in the form of stargates, but these are not planned to be available at release but as an expansion, later. I do recall something about an interplanetary drive: something for a ship to move between planets a bit faster, though I might be imagining this one (add it to the idea box, if it's not a thing).

 

What there won't be is a kind of fast travel used in skyrim, for example. Ships will *not* be able to instantly teleport to points they have already visited.

 

Will worm holes exist? Not mentioned at the moment. But as an exploration tool, these could be a very interesting idea, especially if they are randomly created in unexplored space and disappear once used. Anyone want to go on a massive voyage?

Eve online is free to play right now, that'll give you an idea of what to expect from some of the mechanics but much more, better and without lag.

As Lethys and CommanderLouiz have said, please watch the videos on their Youtube channel and read the devblogs first.
 
But, from the AMA during the Kickstarter:
 

There will be several levels of scale in your capacity to move around: on the planets first, you can move by walking. You can then craft hovercrafts to move over a few kilometers. You may build then atmospheric ships for heavy duty planetary atmospheric travel. Then, you can start to look at building space faring ships. They will travel at normal speed first, allowing you to reach nearby moons in a few minutes, or other planets in the system in a few days (you can very well enjoy sharing a huge ship with friends, as it travels through space, and you go to whatever in-ship activity you like, for example building or trading). Then, either at release or perhaps in an expansion, we will introduce FTL drives. You will then be able to move between planets in a few minutes, and possibly reach new systems over several days. The final step will be stargates, that will come in an expansion, and that will allow near instant connections between systems. The size of the known/explored universe will then start to grow as players build more and more stargates. Stargates are going to be very expensive and complex to [make], so don't expect a large network immediately. We will use this slow growth to introduce more variety in the discovered planets, as we have time/budget to further develop new biomes.
