I think if humans can make space travel almost instantaneous, we can make communication even faster. Don't forget how signals are sent, by infa red light beams. And from what I heard light travels pretty fast. So combine the speed of light with the instantaneous travel speeds and you've got something!

Just for the record, Humans don't rely on "physical" travel. They jump into Slipspace (another dimension, basically), which allows them to travel 2/3 light years a day. Covenant are a lot faster though. They can travel either 10lyp/s or 50lyp/s. I might be wrong though. I just know they can travel better and faster than humans. Can't remember the exact number though.
From the second post quote, and previouse posts, I infer that Humans travel at a much slower speed than covenant. Being that the closest planet to Earth that could even POSSIBLY support life (in real life) is millions of lightyears away, it would still take MILLIONS of days to send signals. A human life doesnt even last 1/8 that long.
The point I am trying to make is that by using math and logic, it seems that humans could not communicate with their colonies. Then again, it is a video game. Bungie could make 2+2=fish for all they care. Sometimes real life and video games are seperate (amazing I know)!
