Who says where flying past the speed if light?
Maybe where flying at the speed of light.
It would explain the travel time/loading screen.
It takes a few minutes for light to travel from one planet to another.

Not to be a dick but it takes seconds to go to the planets we go to. 1 and a half seconds to go to the moon, around 7 seconds to Venus, around 7 seconds to Mars and around 13 seconds to Saturn (not its rings). Not sure about the reef or Mercury.

Check those numbers champ. 12.5 minutes average (4 to 20 range) minutes for light to travel from Earth to mars.

I don't know what source you use but I know it takes 8 minutes for light from the sun to get to earth. That way I can see that traveling to another planets takes at least one minute. The moon is another story.
