This makes sense, but i'm confused to why it was traced instantly.
And why'd it be so? I don't see why enough light item couldn't be shot some 30K LY afar with one jump.
Quantum mechanics allows two entangled particles to communicate a binary on or off state no matter the distance.
Each ship could have one of these and communicate digitally (1's and 0's!) no matter the distance, instantly.

Whose to say that Galnet isnt integrated into all ships through out space, and when a new update comes along it spreads like wildfire as the players and NPCs travel around updating the stations or to receive an updated log.
Its not too hard to imagine with the number of background NPCs and players who literally trek through an entire Empire space up to the Alliance owned space areas. And each system they drop in a signal could be sent out and if its the newest to date, all the stations are updated.

You think real-life traders willy nilly post their stuff for everyone to find without especially looking for?
For me, I think the sad thing is that this fact has now been put in print: It's easy to traverse the entire galaxy. You just need a ship with a fuel scoop, and maybe some patience. This commander did it in a few weeks.
Not that I want to belittle anyone's effort, but, well, when I envisioned exploration, I was thinking that it was going to be a bit more of an effort. The FGE were going to organize squads with tankers and all. We were going to get deployable bases and repair stations to maintain our ships, or we'd have to face trouble...
Now, we've all seen the screenshots of the galactic core. The Orion nebula and the Pleiades are a stone's throw away. The limit on how far into the black you can reach is how long you can fly without being bored.

Then...how big is that capsule's fuel tank? Damn.
Quite like "sneaker net". Sensible, IMO.
How many times do we have to go over this.............really?????
Information between systems that require you to dock has NOTHING to do with the ability to communicate and EVERYTHING to do with the value of DATA.
lol and yet they can't fix comms in game
Couple litres. Flinging 1000 tons of ship+cargo takes half dozen tons of fuel... if message capsule is, say, 1 kg - it'd need fuel in millilitres to do the same... multiply by say, 2000 for 30K LY and we're speaking of approx 2-5 litres.
Yep. Again, you're thinking of the "gamey" concept like its a competition. Neighboring systems, similar allegiances, allies, factions filling need and removing surplus should easily be communicated. Think of it like trading between US, UK, AU, and CAN, as a simple example. You can even look up trade routes online. Why shouldn't I know that another neighboring Empire system is paying top dollar for Gold where I'm purchasing it, like a common knowledge thing in the profession?
I think the answer is because we need it to be more "gamey". Ok, but 1300 years into the future and there is nothing communicated beyond Galnet News?
Yes, about as much sense as us players flying space ships around the galaxy.

Since even our smallest Ships can go upto ~2500x Light Speed...
Yes, it makes sense. Welcome to the era of Hyperspace communication
But still can't get market prices outside another star system?
Ofc not, not even if transfer of data was instantaneous over zillion LY. Why should?
Luxury trading seems to be updated regularly now. And the many trade tools which share....
