nah, thats movement relative to space time, warp suggests bending said space time in order to, relative to your destination, move faster than light, while essentially staying motionless in spacetime.
This, the power is needed to maintain the subspace bubble, being thrown from said bubble from losing power has been shown to be dangerous. Maybe you just drop out of warp, maybe you drop out too close to something and have no control.
Then explain inertial dampeners buddy! (No seriously, someone please explain to me why they need inertial dampeners at warp. It’s been bugging me for literally years.)
Oh yeah absolutely. But I’m almost certain I’ve heard them complain about the intertial dampeners being maxed out or something when they’ve been flung to crazy warp factors by one of the various near-omnipotent aliens they seem to encounter at least once a season lol.
I’d love to start making up nerdy explanations, and I mean its plausible bending spacetime all willy nilly might have some local inertial side-effects, but the concept of inertial dampers is honestly quite out there. That and the artificial gravity.
They’re inside a bubble of newtonion rules while doing crazy things to the space around them. If something jostles them hard enough, the whole crew would stop being biology and become physics. Inertial dampers stop that.

In this paradigm inertia is very much not a thing
Yeah, the moment they stop maintaining the warp they’re no longer cheating physics to travel faster than light.
I also gotta imagine it’s a controlled process and just abruptly dropping is gonna be… harsh on the hull and crew.

Thank you. I read this thinking “yeah this is not simple Newtonian motion”.
still funny tho!

They also use “impulse”, which seems to be a very high powered inertial type deal. That should follow the rules we’re used to

Fill the shield bubble with jello?
