"Perhaps it's an oversight, though I find it hard to believe that nobody at BioWare noticed this." Really? Why would Bioware be so different from so, so, SO many other game developers?

yes the Crucible was moveable, though it was escorted not towed - it had engines built to allow it to travel (these later removed as it attached it's self to the citadel) -"

I hadn't considered that. Think about it, a relay with engines! Course they could just make one of those smaller ones like is said in the codex. Would make intersystem space travel hard for a while, but better than nothing. "also remember that the crucible was designed over the course of many, many cycles." DESIGNED, not built. The Asari already have had acess to at least one prothean blueprint for a relay, and had a few for their disparate colonies to try to reverse engeneer.
