* One way to make the BussardRamscoop practical would be to [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bussard_ramjet#Pre-seeded_trajectory send out pellets of fuel along a spacecraft's path in advance]]. The spacecraft would then be limited to travelling along this path of pellets. It might be compared to building gas stations along a highway, except with a vehicle that doesn't stop to refuel.

* Justified in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyXIV'': teleportation magic requires a person to attune themselves to an aetheryte at the intended destination first, so when a person's body enters TheLifestream as part of the teleporation spell, it can travel to and rematerialize at the desired point. The spell "Flow" can allow a person to teleport without the need for an aetheryte, allowing them to travel anywhere in theory. In practice, however, not having an aetheryte to serve as a beacon to anchor to from the Lifestream means you run the risk of never emerging from the Lifestream ever again -- and even if you do, you may end up going blind or losing your ability to use magic, ''if you're lucky''.

* ''Literature/{{Eldraeverse}}'': Stargates are built in quantum-entangled pairs, meaning that each gate only ever connects to one other gate and it can take months of crossing different star systems to reach a given destination.
* ''TabletopGame/{{Starfinder}}'': After the Drift Crisis is resolved, stable "drift lanes" emerge from the notoriously unstable plane that can be used to travel to travel between the planets at either end in exactly one week instead of rolling three or five [=d6s=] to determine travel time.
