Well technically we're not traveling faster than the speed of light. The Alcubierre Drive (which is what the FSD is based on) contracts space in front of the ship and expands space behind it. This creates a sort of bubble around the ship and pushes it through empty space. Relative to static space, the ship can go faster than light, but only because it's warping space. It's like how light going into a black hole can go faster than other light; space is warped.

No RADAR is still dumb though.
