Now when they do make the jump to C, everyone inside is turned into shapeless paste, thats the only draw back, and I don't think there is a reasonable solution yet.

Do you mind elaborating here? And your calculations are all wrong, you have to use different formulas when calculating for relativistic kinetic energy (or rather, start actually using standard physics formulas period, I can't follow a thing you are saying...)
And, you still have to explain how this ship of yours can actually travel at the speed of light, as our current theories say that it is impossible, unless you warp space or something like that.

I disagree. Look at some of the things we have done in the past with what we had then, and look out how much we have now, and how little we are doing.

Have we had anything even remotely close to a galactic civilization at any time in the past? Because compared to what they could potentially do, a planetary civilization is severely limited.

We are making discoveries all of the time, we are advancing faster than ever, and in 500 years, sheesh, this is a merciful undertaking.

True, but that doesn't mean that we will magically have the ability to create something like a star destroyer in the next 500 years. In fact, I don't even think we will leave our own solar system in the next 500 years, let alone establish a galactic civilization.
It's not enough to have the technical capability or the scientific know-how, you must also have the social organization, the economic capital, the industrial capability, and most importantly the natural resources in order to undertake such a project. A galactic civilization, with an entire galaxy at their disposal, could easily create star destroyers. A small planetary civilization like our own just simply wouldn't have what it takes to build one; the natural resources, the economic capital, or even the political will just simply won't be there in 500 years. A galactic civilization, however, will take a great deal of time to emerge, so I'm not going to be holding my breath here.

Would it allow the this ship to travel across the galaxy in a matter of days?
