But for the purposes of a second DimShip, the new, displaced dimensions
caused by my first DimShip *are* my real dimensions.

"If a player owns a DimShip and has launched it, then rules that check eir
dimension values will check the values of eir virtual dimensions."

If some other rule checks my dimension values, it will get my normal values,
plus the some of all virtual values affecting me, such as my six or seven
DimShips.

That would certainly be interesting, but I'm afraid it's not the case.
