Not really. It’s still a fusion drive with ridiculously low fuel use, so functions in real space. That means it can’t go faster than light speed. With 1G acceleration and a flip and burn, the max speed is 0.95 light speed.
You know, I think they actually said that. The Expanse is one of the few near-future solar-system-only SciFi I really like. I should have gone with Iain M Banks I guess.
My point: it’s fiction. It can be as fast as you need it to be.
