If you read the codex about Kett tech and propulsion, you will find hints how the game designers plan to dig out of their hole they made for ME:A with the absence of mass relays. Kett use aside from mass manipulation with Eezo another principle. They can compress the space in their flight path and stretch behind them. Which is basically a Alcubierre ore Warp Drive. (its a bit mixed up in the codex, the writer obviously didn't understand the wikipedia article  ) Wonder how they get around the "destroy/irradiate anything in front of you when you stop" problem?  |

Well,a true warp drive wouldn't have that issue, since technically the ship never has FTL velocity. The warp bubble moves at FTL, but within the bubble the ship is always obeying standard physics.

Wonder how they get around the "destroy/irradiate anything in front of you when you stop" problem? Would the Kett even care about this potential side effect of their FTL method? With their lack of consideration towards other lifeforms, I hardly expect them to be eco-friendly. |

If they kill everyone they encounter, how are they going to reproduce? |
