Getting into the core is difficult, as once you pass through the relay you end up racing headfirst into a blackhole without anyway to stop. Its is not a matter of detection or navigation, it is simply immpossile to avoid them at the speed you reappear. but getting out is different. you can detect the black holes and plot a course between them, and once you are pointing in a direction that is free you can launch into FTL speeds. EDI and Joker would have the foresight to calculate ever possible escape route once Shepard got back and would take the best one to safety. You want a plothole, i want to know what they did after launching to FTL. It is established in ME that this is a comparativly slow way to get around. So if you could travel to a habited area from the core using FTL, then why did you not travel to the core using FTL? It would be safer as you would not have the drift problem. Did the Normandy double back and use the Omega-4 relay again once the area was safe? That would be anti-climactic. All in all it would have made more sense to rush to the relay like in Arrival.
