+ * Here's how the mayday code works:
+ *
+ * First, the closest starbase is selected. If there is a
+ * a starbase in your own quadrant, you are in good shape.
+ * This distance takes quadrant distances into account only.
+ *
+ * A magic number is computed based on the distance which acts
+ * as the probability that you will be rematerialized. You
+ * get three tries.
+ *
+ * When it is determined that you should be able to be remater-
+ * ialized (i.e., when the probability thing mentioned above
+ * comes up positive), you are put into that quadrant (anywhere).
+ * Then, we try to see if there is a spot adjacent to the star-
+ * base. If not, you can't be rematerialized!!! Otherwise,
+ * it drops you there. It only tries five times to find a spot
+ * to drop you. After that, it's your problem.
