Something that bothered me about the power

And constant Life support drain over the void

[garhkal]

Do the pods drain that much?

[morbosfist]

Less than life support, to be sure.

The only thing that really bothers me is that it would be nearly impossible to calculate a jump to the end of a galaxy when you're a third of the way through it. FTL keeps you in normal space/time, which means that if an object is in your path, you'll crash into it at speeds FAR in excess of at least 671 million miles per hour. You'd be instantly vaporized, along with a large chunk of whatever you just ran into. You have to plot a course that doesn't conflict with any of the stars/planets in a galaxy (there's a lot and even though you have a shield, it can't do much against foreign objects when you're going that fast). Since you're going that fast, you can't make any sort of turning maneuver while in FTL. You'd be torn apart. For now, we'll just have to assume that Eli found one unless we get an explanation from Eli himself.

You have to remember: Space ist mostly empty vacuum. The chance of randomly hitting a planet or a star is practically zero. Besides, they have the data from the Seed ships, so they can avoid any obstacles in the mapped-out corridor.

but they leave the mapped-out corridor to head to the next galaxy
without traveling through the drone galaxy

It's still highly unlikely that they will hit something by accident. Space is really, really big and empty.

[metroidgate]

true
the danger would only be there in the first part of the jump as they go around
the edge but your right that space very very big
