Would the natural speed of a ship's regular engines have any bearing on how fast it goes when it activates a warp drive? Like say, you have two ostensibly equal ships of equal mass and volumes but one has a methane/oxygen rocket and the other has a nuclear saltwater rocket. If they're both running their regular engines while their warp drives are also online, would they go the same speed, or would it act more as a multiplier for their base speeds, resulting in the nuclear rocket going super sanic?
