I lost you early on in Mod, but I have to say you write such well written posts with such frequency. Even if I can't follow it I can recognise its problem-descriptive attributes - which are excellently conveyed.
ps: if its a sci-fi novel and it's going to make any money then the point is moot. Most readers won't need more than to be slightly boggled by the science to be able to enjoy it. This bit seems to hold the most potential for some expository (if scientifically inaccurate) prose
Another idea was to have the whole craft distort space in such a manner as to appear effectively invisible (you'd see the distortion against the background of stars of course)
"Of course" the tills will ring!
