Is this sub-light movement or FTL movement?

That system is much more compatable with other FT movement systems but,
technically, I'd call the movement "semi-inertialess."	The drive system
hides
enough of the mass to allow it to manouver like crazy but retains enough
mass that
it can thrust and still remain near inertail ships.
