@Monet: Interesting stuff. Zero-energy devices and the mass relays (krasnikov tubes or wormholes) are indeed examples of Tier 2 tech, although it may be that a Tier 3 could bend the total output of a star's energy into a wormhole, still, the Mass Relays don't seem to be powered by stars. Possibly vacuum energy or some other clarketech... I'll research these dark energy siphons too.

The rest, including negative mass seems like Tier 4'ish tech to me.

@Bio21: Woa, hold your horses! It depends on the method of compressing space. For example, the warp drive in Star Trek compresses space in front and expands it behind to attain FTL. The wormhole networks are an example of Tier 2 tech however, since that may take a lot more negative mass, or perhaps dark energy to wrench open wormholes or superliminal krasnikov spaces.

Thanks fo your're help, both of you.
