User blog comment:WhiteSeraph/Alternate Timeline Idea That I'm Really Psyched About/@comment-3341288-20110925214210/@comment-25033299-20110926044150

My thought is that it takes them time to both target a star and then recharge their launch drive. The overall speed is situational. Intergalactic travel is nearly four times as fast warp, but within a galaxy its 3/4 as fast.
