    Not quite. The warp drive doesn’t actually provide any thrust, its purpose is to create the warp bubble and then “squish” the space in front of the starship.

    Thus the “warp engines” do actually need to get constantly fed energy in order to work. Feed more energy equals get more squish equals go faster.
