The best advantage i see in warpdrive technology is that you could transport a fleet relatively quickly without going from system to system (agreed there would have to be a large supply usage). Granted you could just make a wormhole, but doesn't warpdrive just SOUND like it belongs in a game like SE4.

And if your empire would go into civil war, you might need that quick strike ability to get those systems back. Or you may need to quickly intercept an enemy fleet before it takes out one of your regional capitals(hint, hint). Or maybe the COMPUTER AI would warp into your galactic capital system and catch you completely off guard. Bet you'd want a warp ready fleet then. Overall I think there are definite advantages to having warpdrive technology.

This technology was proposed originally to give a solution for the neutrals anyway. It's only an idea for that solution, but I suppose it could be expanded for the above uses. This like the civil war idea could give more depth to the game.

Thoughts?
