Hey guys.. I have found something that could be considered proof.
This comes from a document from someone describing how to play JE.
....saving you both skill points on that skill as well as credits on more expensive engines.
There is currently one bug in this skill. It manifests when two or more players with high
level Navigate and a Lazarus device. If two such players are within 2k of each other and
one attempts to warp, the engines will cycle up, but not go to warp. Then when shut down
they will not ready for warp again. In order to clear this each player must cross a sector
gate, dock at a station, wormhole, or log out and then back in.....
