Well, to be quite frank, that's mostly due to the fact that making it so that it takes many MANY years to reach a destination is, TBH, quite detrimental in some stories...especially with one like GC where we're making a specifc present day...

Furthermore, TBH, I really don't like those cryo-freezing-related risks: forces upon me conditions I'd HAVE to put on a character, rather than making them as I want them, and use them as I want them.

In other words...I feel that, while I can handle cutting down on the "travel a week to cross the galaxy" FTLs, I, TBH, will not stand for making it so that a year, or even half of one, is the norm for crossing between 2 relatively-close solar systems.
