| Sep 2, 2015 at 6:24 | comment | added | Petersaber | @Andy do you see another reason? Taking into account that the Outbound Flight didn't have any unusual tech? | |
| Sep 1, 2015 at 22:40 | comment | added | Andy | I'm just disagreeing with your reason that "its usually not done due to resources." Only a small number of species in SW can, but most can't. | |
| Sep 1, 2015 at 10:31 | comment | added | Petersaber | @Andy - Outbound Flight would get somewhere. It was self-sustaining. The main problem were the hyperspace disturbances. YV and two droid species got to SW galaxy from another galaxy (not a satellite galaxy). ET got to our galaxy. Need more examples? Because I don't know if there are any more :P | |
| Aug 31, 2015 at 17:43 | comment | added | Andy | We might not be dead; if we start colonizing space our chances of survival improve, but that's not the point. What difference is it though if its speed vs. not being able to carry enough resources? Either way, no one from your species is going to be able to get to another galaxy. Which is my point. Unless you can actually get a living member of your species to another galaxy, I don't think its honest to say that species is capable of intergalactic flight. | |
| Aug 31, 2015 at 12:17 | comment | added | Petersaber | @Andy they will. But by that time we'll all be dead (as a species). As opposed to Star Wars ships, where the problem isn't extinction, but simply running out of gas. The Outbound Flight was a legit attempt at real, useful travel, within one generation at most, while we're barely outside of our own solar system. It's like comparing bicycles to SR-71's | |
| Aug 30, 2015 at 17:58 | comment | added | Andy | Well we only haven't due to resources and environmental danger. There's no reason to think the probes we've sent outside the solar system wouldn't eventually get to another solar system or galaxy. | |
| Aug 30, 2015 at 14:31 | comment | added | Petersaber | @hyde no, it doesn't. A self-sufficient ship like the Outbound Flight had a really good chance of getting somewhere. It was Darth Sidious who had other plans | |
| Aug 30, 2015 at 14:30 | comment | added | Petersaber | @Andy except we've never done an interstellar, much less intergalactic flight, while we have examples of transgalactic species and travel from the main galaxy to satellite galaxies, as well as, in the movies, shots of the Rebel Fleet in the intergalactic space. | |
| Aug 30, 2015 at 6:34 | comment | added | hyde | "The reasons why it's not usually done are related to resources and environmental dangers, rather than the lack of technology", well, if intergalactic travel is too expensive and dangerous, doesn't that imply lack of sufficient technology? :) | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 18:25 | comment | added | Andy | I feel like answering yes is dishonest. I mean, using the same logic, we have ships today capable of intergalactic flight. | |
| Aug 29, 2015 at 5:10 | comment | added | Joshua | With your 6 or 7 times distance, it might well be still the closest galaxy, but if you can get that far in a few days you can get to another galaxy in a few 10s of days. | |
| Aug 28, 2015 at 23:17 | comment | added | o0'. | This answer is funnier if you read EU as "European Union". | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 17:52 | comment | added | Phyneas | @Petersaber - Sorry, I misread your sentence, I didn't see the distinction you were drawing between a standard hyperdrive and a normal one, I will delete my comment. | |
| Aug 28, 2015 at 17:48 | comment | added | Petersaber | @Phyneas FTL, like, a standard hyperdrive? Yes, they had it. One per Dreadnaught. | |

| Aug 28, 2015 at 15:28 | comment | added | Petersaber | @ThePopMachine I wouldn't exactly call "Episode V: Empire Strikes Back" EU... | |
| Aug 28, 2015 at 14:42 | comment | added | ThePopMachine | There is non-EU evidence of intergalactic travel. See my answer. | |
| Aug 28, 2015 at 13:51 | comment | added | Omegacron | Great answer! I prefer to just think of it as the Rishi Maze. Problem solved. | |
