Border spread shoult be FTL specific

[mangalore]

I had a hyperlane play and the borders don't make any sense when every species has hyperlanes as empires claim territory they don't have access to or would have a very roundabout route to reach.

Imo the FTL methods should have direct impact on how borders spread aka hyperlanes should only build up border pressure via hyperlane connections, wormhole stations probably only from their stations and warp limited from their colonies and outposts.

The hyperlane is the most obvious because it makes no sense in single ftl mode compared to the others but ideally all three modes have an impact how empires direct their traffic and thus their influence over patches of space.

I'll second it by posting my suggestion from a month ago on it.

Perhaps make it a mode option when starting a game or have it enforced when playing a hyper-drive only map?

I could see it this way:
Hyperdrive factions spread their borders only to stars that is directly connected by a hyperlane to an already owned star. They should get a minor boost to the border projection to compensate.

Warpdrive factions spread their borders like they do now.

Wormhole factions spread their borders like they do now, but only inside wormhole length (slowly losing pressure without any).
