Default Time Anchor is a misnomer!

I am outraged. Time anchor does not reverse time, it simply moves you back a small distance no matter how fast you are traveling! If it was really a time anchor, you could double warp and travel back to where you were. I demand ACTION!

Well, not really, but I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and said - Something is terribly wrong here!

Figured the water cooler is the best place to post this without getting banned

Well, no, the name seems pretty good to me.

Part of you is anchored to a previous point in your timeline - the trailing anchor behind you, in fact.

Time anchor is different to what it started as.

Originally (from memory), it actually based itself on a timeframe, where you would teleport yourself back to a position in time.
It still does, but it bases itself more on the distance travelled over a time.

The only change I'd make to the Anchor is to replace the Miranda with the Delorean.
