In the GameInfo folder are the player files, called PlayerPhase.entity or PlayerTech.entity. Open them with notepad. The following governs phasing behaviour:

hyperspaceData
baseHyperspaceSpeed 20000.0
hsyperswpaceSpeedBetweenStarsMultiplier 35.l0
baseHyperspaceAntiMatterCost 100.0
baseHyperspaceChargeUpTime 7.0000000

is it possible to edit a ship's individual phase speed... that would be interesting for a mod...

or at least a race's overall phase speed.

Changing an individual ship's phase speed is unfortunately not possible. We would need to change the .exe for that...

A race's overall phase speed can be changed, since the settings are in the race files and thus race specific.

hmmm well that is mostly good enough-

SO for example in a B5 mod, the Shadow Ships could have ridiculous speed for their Phase Transit, and everyone else just normal, with perhaps a good chunky advantage for the Minbari.

Or perhaps the Vasari Phase speed could be upped.

Hey Wait a Minute...

What about the Phase Gate Upgrades.... those speed up ship transit more 'selectively' perhaps we could apply part of that ability to a ship itself.

This unfortunately appears to be phase gate specific:

researchModifier
	modifierType "HyperspaceSpeedPhaseGateAdjustment"
	baseValue 0.0
	perLevelValue 0.20

But does the Phase Gate object have an abillity this corresponds to or no?

if it does we could try applying that ability to other structures or ships.

No, it seems to be hardcoded. Though you could make gates which only certain ship types could use, they would all jump with the same speed.
