Even at full lightspeed you need ships that are capable of running for 100,000 years to reach even the nearest galaxy.

100,000 years from the perspective of outside observers, the amount of subjective time can be made arbitrarily small.

Yes, but the closer you get to lightspeed the bigger problem you have with any collision with any small particle.
