In fact, in Star Trek, there's almost no combat that ISN'T while FTL.
While I am a die hard defender of cinematic-as-real, within limitations,
it
also is not far from warp movement as sometimes described in ST. One
thing,
strangely enough, is that cinematic doesn't have drag, while warp does.
At
least, when you stop putting energy into the warp bubble, it decays, and
you slow down. Acts just like drag to me.
FTL vector is a bit of a stretch for me, though.
