I'm not sure I like the idea of FTL communications in Fenspace, actually... I suppose it's because of the "Napoleonic-era-style space battles" decision we made, but I like the idea of communication being limited to the speed of the fastest ship. That isn't going to happen, with the speed of the fastest ship being 1/10 (or 1/5, if my speedster is accepted) of lightspeed, but I think it's still more in keeping with the feel of the setting to have slower communications than it would be to be able to call home whenever somebody needs a shoulder to cry on.
(That said, if we do decide to put some sort of FTL communications system into the setting, then master-gossip Yoriko will definitely know how to operate it or them... )
