Problem solved.

Ooops, sorry, this is not my line of text
Actually they also use inertial damping fields in Star Trek to reduce the inertial mass of the ship to make it easier to move. So I guess you could just go with that and reduce the ship's mass to zero and not have to bother with the whole warp bubble thing, so long as you didn't want to actually go *faster* than light. Would do wonders for the thrust statistic too ;-).

But of course once you get to those speeds you'd have to start dealing with what the frequency of your ship is and how many of them you have to pilot at once, and other such nonsense.

So if you did manage to get a ship to relativistic speeds, could you theoretically pilot it through *both* branches at the Ubermall split? And would it diffract as it goes through the narrow bit at Anulpha Pass?

So many questions.
