I know it canonically does not do multidimensional reindeer games like bags of holding or travel to other worlds.
Handwavium FTL works on the same principles no matter what you call it - hyperspace, subspace, etc. That's why it's pinned to a set velocity of 500 times the speed of light, why you have to go (star mass in Sol masses * 40) AU out of the system to make it work, etc. This isn't to say there aren't other forms of FTL possible in the Fenspace universe, there are. Some of which are mathematically described in the Catalog. But the thing is, those are all hardtech. As of the '22 update so far nobody's built an hardtech FTL engine.
