If spaceship A generates an interference field completely surrounding it, would
that generate some sort of severence from locality, such that the ship within
the field could move at velocities faster than light, as observed outside the
field? The problem is that you've got to deal with having a field that covers
the entire event path, right? So you'd have to project an interference field all
the way, and projecting that field is limited by the wave front speed limits, so
you could take 4.3 years projecting an interference field to Alpha Centauri,
then transfer a ship through the field...
