Apologies. I don't understand this one well enough to summarize it precisely.

It ''is'' a solution to the masslock problems in Oolite.

There are 3 pages of discussion and analysis of the 4 versions of this OXP here: [https://aegidian.org/bb/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=19991 BB thread] (2018+)

 It works by recognising two types of masslock:
-*Passive Masslocks - These are how typical masslocks begin: the player is masslocked by an entity that has no wish to delay the player. In game this is the situation during yellow alert.

-*Active Masslocks - This is where an entity actively hinders the player's escape from masslock, typically to engage in combat. In game this is the situation during red alert.

 :During passive masslocks, the player ship's masslock compensators will be activated granting extra speed (x2) to assist in escaping masslock.
-:During active masslocks, the same compenstors will be disabled by 'jamming' from enemy vessels.

 *Pros: The slower player ships are less tedious to pilot and masslocks generally are less mind-numbing.

 :: They are somehow dawdling or have only just started up their torus drive
-Each of these conditions provides (IMHO) a reasonable argument for the player to be travelling faster than the masslocking vessels. So it could further be argued that this oxp creates a simulation of torus-slowing rather than torus-breaking in a way that isn't obviously player centric. A player can be masslocked from behind of course but (for me at least) this is a very rare ocurrance considering that there is typically a good deal of space that the player has already torus-driven through.

 There are other conditions in which masslock can occur but they typically don't involve a tedious spacelane 'race' to overtake or evade other vessels.
