That's not exactly correct.  The phlogiston is actually a substance that
runs between spheres, but does not occupy all space outside of the
spheres.  Ships travel in "the flow" (the phlogiston) because it greatly
enhances the speed at which one can reach an adjacent sphere.  Travelling
in space outside of the sphere *and* outside of the phlogiston will take
many times longer to reach your destination.  My point is: Phlogiston
DOES NOT occupy the entire space outside of the spheres.  It's like a
river that runs between the spheres. That's why one can reach certain
spheres from other spheres using the phlogiston and not travel back the
same way.  i.e. travel from sphere A to sphere B, but not back to sphere
A from sphere B using the phlogiston.  I don't play w/ "Greyspace",
"Krynnspace", or "Realmspace", but I seem to remember that this is holds
true between two of the three.

He's asking this: if Ship A is travelling at Spelljamming speeds, can
ship A see ship B before "coincidental contact" is made.  I believe the
answer is NO, but I could be wrong about this one.  Any responses?
