I was trying to simulate hidden nodes, which are unavoidable given the
distributed nature of the mesh.
Also trying to simulate "starvation at the edges", which varies
greatly with the collision avoidance threshold.
But, hey, I was just day dreaming. Even the simpler air groups that
you proposed would be very useful.
Thanks!
