Where would we be where SJ doesn't nitpick everything? Political incorrectness run amok
On the idea of warp generators, I thought maybe you could use some of the Voyager ideas *although purely scifi-babble* of using catapults and powerful reactors to pull ships in and out.
Kinda like the Caretaker's Array.
The only catch should be is it can only be opened in bases; as a ship with such reactors can have big implications on Trek, as it does in SEIV.
