Not really true at all. The average distance between stars in the inner region of our galaxy, which is typical of other galaxies is one light-week. the number of stars you can reach per distance grows at an exponential rate.

The number of stars you would be able to communicate with that is just a few weeks round trip for a message is absolutely huge. Messages on that time scale are entierly useful in space for updating your HQ, talking to family and friends, etc.. Its just closer to mailing a letter than making a phone call is all.

True, technically that is a more accurate term the growth rate. Though I was speaking in layman's terms
