I know that FLOPS removed warp capabilities so the game would have more strategy. But what if some special ships had warp capability? Say, for example, the warp in ships (once they've warped in) could have the ability to warp around the map.

Others have asked for Warp in many different forms (using Special Energy, etc.) and its not going to be in. The only Warp you'll ever find in Fleet Ops. is Transwarp.

What happens to the ship's warp engines after this? |

Their just not used again. Even after all this time, it still seems sort of odd, seeing as how the Gravity Wells and several Special Weapons were added to the stock A2 to counter Warp.

Same here. The white square started to get on my nerves after a while so I removed Warp again.

warp is used to travel between systems, not within a system. otherwise federation starships would never fly at impulse, dont you think? thats called "the cinematic factor"  |

is there a way 2 get rid of the effect (then we could call it full impulse :d half and quater impulse would be normal and combat speed)

There have been cases when in an emergency, ships have warped within a system. Oh, and nice idea Blade.

One way that Warp could be in is for a Special Weapon called 'The Picard Manouver' (I know I must have spelt that wrong).

Also, according to an episode of Voyager, apparently in warp you can't turn which is where impulse would be useful!
Do they ever actually give a reason why ships don't warp in a system? The only episode I can recall that mentions it is the "By Inferno's Light" episode of DS9 and even then Dax only says something about it being dangerous...

Tyler is correct , that one cannot turn at warp. The reason for No warp in planatary systems as far as I remember was due to interstellar traffic warp was limited to system to system to prevent ships from making a miscalculation and Warping in to a planet or another ship because of the cooldown period of the warp engines and the delay of impulse being brought online. the delay would leave the ship only able to use thrusters to stop a collisiod and little time to react.

pappy's got the right idea there, it's too risky to warp while you're in-system.  Plus...it is really nice for that cinematic effect, Optec Take yur pick. I like to think of the technical one...  |

Of all the bad features of stock A2, warp was just about the worst. Apart from being annoying having the ships jump around like that, it also removed all strategy as you didn't have to get past the enemy's defenses - you just fly in, take out the starbase and then fly out again like a coward!!  The fundamental reason for not having warp is that warp is for huge distances. No map could ever be big enough to make it worthwhile. |

Warping into the base wouldn't be possible if people were smart enough to take advantage of the Planet and Black Holes Gravity Well. Same goes for the Engine Overload and putting Defences around important things not the whole base.
