Faster Than Light Travel

I feel there needs to be a discussion on the greatly overlooked fact that the Ships that we fly are FTL capable, but it is not mentioned in the lore as to what grants the capability of FTL travel. [Just as an edit, I am more interested in the link between the Ships FTL ability and the Vex's ability to teleport. For Lore purposes] I want to try throw physics at the issue as I feel that there must be a link between the device that grants FTL travel and the Vex networks. I have a theory that the Traveller and The Light have given Humanity the blueprints to create such a device which may have been refined with how the Vex travel between spaces. My evidence is the fact that there is no evidence towards Humanity having FTL travel before the collapse. (Correct me if I'm wrong) The Transmat system the Ghosts use must have some link to FTL abilities, as the ships are essentially teleporting between planets. The system the ships use must be different as no ship ever goes FTL in atmosphere, where as Transmat is used pretty much anywhere. What bothers me here is why Ships can't be Transmatted between planets when Ghosts on their own are capable of doing just that. On top of all that is the fact neither FTL or Transmatt capabilities should be able to exist. I can't find a way to explain either one logically such that it doesn't create paradoxes or a ton more questions that can only be answered with silly excuses. I don't want to bring up outside sources such as Halo but in Halo there was a more refined Lore on FTL travel, most specifically in the books and i feel there needs to be more information on the Ships FTL Drives in Destiny. Other things such as what type of thrusters the Ships use, what fuel they use doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere. At this point you would think Humanity would start building larger ships to use as offensive structures and mobile command posts to try extend Human controlled territories around Earth and onto other planets. I will add to this post when I get more time but for now I want some peoples opinions on the matters at hand.

  • See the warlocks artifact the "Warp Fragment". What interests me is the fact that humanity hasn't fully expanded past the solar system. Only a few people have tried. One reason for this would be the fact that humanity is a near type two civilization and may have been working on a Dyson Sphere.
