So Adrian, are you saying that FTL flight wouldn't involve time-travel?

I thought that under certain circumstances it would (specifically FTL 
travel to a location that was accelerating away at a significant rate 
relative to the point of departure, then FTL return. I think). Or is 
there no problem, and it's just the simple fact that nothing with mass 
can travel at, or faster than, light-speed that stops us being able to 
do it? (and tricks like Acubierre Drive, if it could exist, would work 
without causing paradoxes)?
