black phlogiston and speeds

<<<
What I was trying to say was. I equate the gnomish non-magical engines
with the above team of horses. Think about it when was the last time
you had a gnomish device work the way it is supposed to.

If you don't like that approach then just use this one. Something bout
the nature of the Black Flow causes the speed difference to happen. >>>

Got it.  But SR is speed.  Horse power does not equate to miles per
hour and neither do well operated gnomish engines to SR.  Now here's a
very reasonable explanation that will allow implementation of what you
want:

We all know that speed in the phlogiston is altered by the flow.  Like
sending a ship in a current.  If I increase the ship's speed in still
water by a factor of 2 (doubling it) it doesn't double the speed in a
current.  So, the grey phlog's flow give the jammer most of its speed
and each SR increase is only enough to affect about two weeks of
travel time.

Another idea:

The sargasso area may not be of equal depth all around.  Adding a
variable time to get through might be an interesting addition (and of
course flow speeds will also be different in different areas...).

Do you really think I'd admit to stealing that much money in my email
sig?  Uhh, don't answer that.

The crazier the people are around me the saner I am.  That's why I
work in an asylum.  No, not the rubber room again!  No, but, but, my
email...
