Hi there,

Agreed, they are ridiculous.

>But if it works for you then great.

Yes, I agree with the other's here: It is a game and there is a lot
of magic involved (to quote the visionaries tv series: "It is a time
where magic is more powerful than science and those who control the
magic... control destiny!"), so it makes only "sense" that SJ defies
the laws of RL physics.
Having a sea going ship fly through space is a refreshing change from
the usual sci-fi clichés and I totally agree that this is one of the
strong points of SJ.

With regards,

Kai
