[QUOTE="Remus Lupin, post: 5882341, member: 12760"] Is that the current ret-con? I hadn't heard. Of course, there's nothing internal to the game that would lead you to believe that. Clearly there is FTL drive for moving between nearby solar systems, but it was never established in-game that the Mass Relays were somehow not essential to moving between those far-flung corners of the Galaxy. I actually liked that about the travel mechanics, because while you can hand wave FTL between solar systems a little bit, the Mass Relays seem to give a better picture of what I understand any likely scenario for intra-galactic travel to be: The creation of a sort of "worm hole" allowing instantaneous travel between the relays. At least, that was my understanding of it until the last half hour of the last game, where apparently it was just a suped up version of FTL that was capable of exploding behind you as you flew through it.
