There is a great video and link to images of a ship they want to build for testing a Alcubierre drive, which is what the Hyperdrive and Supercruise I believe are based on. Video is about an hour, lots of science.

edit: I'd love to see some of these in ED
For example you could find a colony 400ly out, and if you land on the planet you can see something like their power station is built around it because it has a nuclear drive and 400ly only took them two weeks.
