Yeah. What I’d really like is proposals/discussion around intrastellar travel infrastructure like this. Park sources of light and coms at certain key locations around the solar system to enable faster traffic. Maybe hollow out some larger asteroids for habitats.

as far as comms goes - nothing can speed it up - but yes the idea of using relays makes comms more reliable/repairable

Right, it’s not about speed but the message reliably getting there.
