The Iscandarian ship in the first episode is still faster than a 10 times light drive ship. Nepturn to Mars in ten minutes is around 25 times lightspeed. Interstellar Speeds.

The other instance would be the White Comet Empire. It goes from outside the Milky Way Galaxy to Earth, while being observed the entire way, without warping in the conventional Wave Motion Engine sense. Only once it is in the Solar System does it do a space warp for tactical purposes. At Telezart, the Comet is outrunning Yamato in normal space and Yamato cannot outrun it (nor can they warp for reasons of too much debris). The Comet of course has not worry about debris since they probably use it as fuel. But in the aftermath, Yamato does a string of dangerously long ranged warps to keep ahead of the White Comet and barely make it back to Earth ahead of them. The Comet still has not been warping from Earth observations.

Either they will fix that if they get to A Yamato 2201-ish story, or they will use some other form of FTL travel system for the Comet Empire and perhaps its ships (I don't remember any Comet ships warping every even though they manage to get around from planet to planet just fine).

I pointed out the Earth pioneer ship from Yamato III because that has been a ponderance for a while if the timeline was 2003. Even if it was 2205 it would be weird to have a lone civilian ship with a Wave Motion Engine leave that soon after Yamato returned to Earth in 2200. The design, by pure coincidance has features that could be considered similar to the presently proposed warp drive ship with the ring and body shape. More advanced mind you (the ring would be around the ship normally), but it is something for the creative team to ponder now that science is making it something less than impossible to achieve FTL travel with something less than a wave motion engine.

Though we don't quite know the limitations of the Wave Motion Engines. How safe are they for intrasystem jumps (like Mars to Jupiter)? How long does it take a Gamilas ship between jumps? They likely don't have any other kind of FTL drives for in system up, as the wave motion engines seem to be able to be used from AU distances to many light years away in a single jump (range limits not year deturmined). Just they seem stuck at sublight for most of the time.
