Yes. but it's nothing new. We saw this imagine on N7 Day 2014. Sorry I didn't post the picture. But I'm sure you've seen this. If not, enjoy!
Spoiler
I remember this. I have no idea what it is. I continually referred to it as a "pyramid thing". If it is a hub station, it is kind of small. But I suppose anything is possible until we actually get ME:A.
I can't wait for some real info!
Good post as always Larry-3
What the trailer showed was conventional FTL, the kind of FTL we use all the time in the Milky Way. Mass Relays are only for long journeys that our ships can't do in a much quicker span of time.

Perhaps the need for expansion beyond our local cluster will spur our scientists to actually advance along a new technological path not desired by the reapers! And this will allow travel to other clusters without the assistance of a mass relay. Perhaps a means to fold space using dark matter or something like that. Basically

Conventional FTL can only go 12 light years per day. That ship jumped between star systems instantly. That's like, five light years per second. Even if the game truly does take place in a hyper advanced future or with Andromeda FTL tech, that is a bit extreme in the speed department.
People underestimate how big space actually is. So, I seriously think it was just an artistic choice for the trailer and has zero bearing on new FTL tech or speeds.
I'm not holding Bioware to being accurate when it comes to time. In all games they've shown things go a lot faster than they actually are.
In the beginning of ME1 it takes the Normandy less than a minute to go from the inner solar system to Charon, and it was going sublight. Light takes 4 hours to do that.
The Citadel opens and closes much quicker than it could, at least without killing everyone on the arms.
The Reapers fall to the ground in around 3 seconds in Destroy when they should have taken over 20 seconds.
And that was in the actual games, not a teaser trailer that was made to grab interest. Showing the guy standing there for a few hours wouldn't be much of a teaser trailer.

You basically just reiterated my exact point. They did it for dramatic effect in the teaser trailer, and what the trailer showed was meaningless, I agree.
I know. I was giving other examples in the actual games where Bioware did this. I was agreeing with your point.
Ohh gotcha, sorry. I thought you were confused by my position and thought that I was in disagreement, lol. Internetz.
And I think I mentioned it earlier, but I am like 89.67% certain that Bioware did exactly this with a trailer for Mass Effect 1 (maybe the Noveria-Celeston trailer? I forget), but I've been too lazy to go find it. It would double underscore the point though.
I can see where you may have misunderstood me.
Yeah, the Distress Call cinematic trailer. They had a bunch of planets a lot closer together than they actually would be, at least in that stage of their lives. Now you could argue that they are moons, but that is a pretty weak argument since Noveria isn't shown to be massive enough to hold onto moons as large as the planets shown.
Hyperspace. Mass relays are just too annoyingly noisy.

Don't blame the Mass Relays. They are extremely quiet to the point of silence.
Blame the people who put the sound emulators into the Normandy.

Actually lets just blame Joker. Surely there is a volume or mute switch on the bridge there, but I have a sneaking suspicion that he turns the dial up to 11 every time they go through a Mass Relay...
Thinking about auditory emulators, it's a wonder that stars don't make everyone's eardrums blow out when the ship flies by them.
We need to ask FTFTL how he actually does it.
The Normandy travels 4,380c on the low end, and 5,475c on the upper end. It is probably closer to the upper end.FTL was commonplace in ME1, even shuttles had it to some degree.
I Think at somepoint is was mentioned the Normandy could travel at 30-40 times the speed of lightwhile using it's FTL Mass effect core. It's kind of like a Mass Effect warpdrive. I could be wrong about the speed factor but it was FTL.
We were traveling between stars using the Normandysown FTL drive, so it might very well have been a lot faster. I Think some sources suggested 120c. Not sure if there is anything official. But it's clear that soem ships were faster than others. The Reapers for example were very fast in FTL compared to Citadel ships.

Going with the upper end:
5,475*60*60*24*299,792,458= 1.4181382e+17 meters (about 141.81 quadrillion meters)
1.4181382e+17/ 9.460528405e+15= 14.9897326016
Seeing that the Normandy is capable of flying a distance of roughly 15 lightyears in a day rather is rather impressive.
If, however other ships are capable of the same thing, doesn't that make the Normandy feel kind of underpowered. I mean if you are supposed to be the fasted ship you might as well do it right.

With extra rockets near the end of course.
