imo by the time we have lightspeed ships we may have faster ways to send info, imagine back 2000 years ago and we tell people we can communicate faster than the speed of sound
Now i'm visualizing a world where long distance communication is done with sound and you have screaming pipes across the continent
There were pipes for large houses back in the day for talking...
