Pony Express?

[xdesperado]

Just started playing game again (thanks fallen) and starting the campaign missions for Estelle.
At least in my game there seems to be a disconnect between in-game dialogue and ST Lore.
According to the lore there is no FTL communications allowed. Yet after agreeing to go talk to the Cadar Prince (4 Jumps away on my map) and going strait to him with only stops for fuel/repairs along the way, he greets me with the statement that Estelle had sent a message to him to expect me.
I either want whatever ship/crew that message traveled with or to know if they have the equivalent of the "Pony Express" system of small fast messenger ships that run in relays carrying Message traffic around the galaxy at a faster rate than a single ship can cover the same distance.
Otherwise that dialogue and other similar dialogues with other NPCs needs to be reworded/redone so it doesn't conflict with the lore.

I've wondered this as well. If ships can travel faster than light, it must be a courier ship that is somehow faster than we are.

we will keep working on the lore book as much as our budgets afford us time to do so.

One possible explanation is that the Arbiter sent a message to all the Princes when she arrived to expect a Star Trader, just not necessarily which one?

I also like how money materializes instantly in my account when I finish a mission on a wilderness planet 15 jumps away from the questgiver.

Certain things are abstracted away because they aren't fun. Having your money arrive 3 years later is one of them.

There it is!

Estelle has been talking to these princes for years.

Note that the dialog is "Estelle told me to expect a Star Trader" not you specifically.
