Your ship is not a military vessel, and your pilot has no need to play things as tight as they can. I figured the time around each relay was about an hour each. But it doesn't really matter much, it's a longer time than "seconds" and a shorter time than "days." Narratively speaking, anything in that interval is pretty much the same.
Honestly, if it comes down to it, just go with whatever makes the most fun narratively. If the travel is meant to be a chance to interact with new characters, where and how the IFVs are transported, exactly, isn't all that important.
Okay see, that's exactly what I mean - you are taking poor decisions made from a clearly external standpoint (Bioware cannot into ship design), and explaining them all away with "lol Cerberus is dumb".
Obviously not, since Cerberus did keep going.
Or, via an explanation that isn't fucking retarded, they are generally competent.
It's already on the tech tree, we've just been focusing elsewhere. I wouldn't mind starting that next quarter though. Would definitely help with security now that we've started expanding off planet.
There's no rush for mechs, yeah - but basic ones are a nice little side-project for the near future. Don't need major investment in the tree yet, just the initial tech.
Frigates we're already doing, and the flawless blackboxing I wouldn't consider *that* high a priority at the moment.
We could do so, but I think we'll need to patent our repulsors first, so that nobody else can patent them first.
