With This Ring (Young Justice SI) (Thread Fourteen)

Yeah. All of Remnant's technology is based around Dust, and Dust doesn't work outside Remnant's atmosphere so they have no real capability for space travel or even just building some kind of orbital communications network. Which is why what comms they do have are all heavily centralized in their CCT towers.
 
It's not that simple.

To work properly, the relic needs either for you to know precisely what you want to build down to the exact science, meaning that you need to know exactly how what you want to build works, or to give a very detailed blueprint to the spirit that lives in the relic. And since Remnant has never achieved the scientific know-how or technology required to do this, it's extremely unlikely that Salem would be able to get the spirit to make a fully functional spaceship that could travel FTL. In other words, you can only create something with the relic if you know precisely how to make it, or if you have a working instruction manual that can tell you how to make it. Plus, there's also the problem of fuel, since Remnant doesn't seem to have a fuel source that could power such a spaceship, and Dust doesn't seem to work outside of Remnant's atmosphere either.
No, they have to be detailed because Ambrose is a literal genie.


And even if she got past all those issues, where is she supposed to start looking for The Brothers, exactly? The universe is a really, REALLY big place. Where is she even supposed to start looking for them? What, is she supposed to just start wandering aimlessly through space?
Yes, because for all she knows there might be something else out there that can also do the job of killing her.

Not quite. They have to be detailed and know exactly how the object they want to create works down to the exact science, because if not, the spirit will merely create an object that looks like what the user want, but it will not actually work how the user wants, because despite appearances, it won't be the object that the user actually wants. So if Salem wanted to make a FTL spaceship, she would have to explain to the spirit:

a) Exactly how it's made.

b) Exactly how it works.

c) Exactly what it's made of.

And since Salem would have no way of knowing any of those things without blatantly contradicting the show's continuity, she can't use the relic of creation to make an FTL spaceship.

Yes, because for all she knows there might be something else out there that can also do the job of killing her.

Like what? There's been no indication of other alien life or magic in RWBY space, so for all we know, there's nothing else out there aside from the brothers. Best case scenario, she just wanders around in space for a few millennia, then gets bored and returns to Remnant to resume her endless war with Ozpin.
