Why is the time it would take for the ship to dock at the orbital station it's sitting next being compressed down to zero seconds any more logic breaking than the time it takes for something to be shipped from across the galaxy being compressed to zero seconds?

Stick a mailbox in the captains quarters please.

I think the whole mail thing needs to be replaced with a more up-to-date sci fi model, Im sure the Empire never received a letter from a friendly postman knocking on the door.

For someone who obviously likes sci fi, you sure lack imagination.
Feel free to come up with a reasonable explanation to why mailboxes naturally belong on a spaceship, if you're so imaginative. It's a fair comparison given the complete lack of logic involved.

Or even better... How about telportation?

Can you really sit there with a straight face and say you can have hyperspace and lightsabers, but teleportation... that just makes it unbelievable?

I do have a mailbox on my plane.

I can receive emails pretty much anywhere I go with my mobile.

regarding mailboxes why even have them? this is a futuristic world
i dont need postman pat to deliver things into a physical mailbox
i should have a datapad for instant mail. Maybe ships for bought items ?
or a companion bringing you the item like they would when they scavenge etc
you see these crawler keys ? You'll never get these, they belong to the nine eight possee

Because smugglers live in space.
Maybe you're wanted and can't step foot on a planet.


Those are just two which i really didn't have to think about, it's just a given.

It's shipped to a destination that's inherently not available for shipment. The courier rarely put up with a chase across the galaxy to eventually deliver objects, through space battles and asteroid hazards. You give them credit though.

Abstraction follows a certain logic. That of time compression. Delivery to an object that's out of reasonable bounds of delivery, follows no special logic.

Feel free to read the thread before posting, if you're so smart. I have repeated myself enough already.
