Re: Solar Sail???????
Here's an idea: maybe the "solar sail" is capturing the solar wind (and other emanations, like background radiation in nebulae) and feeding that energy into the engines as a kind of "overdrive". That avoids the problem of it acting as a "sail". It would really be more of a ramscoop... hmmm... now I have more ideas... I'll have to go off and think now...
