Warp ship: Warp-Schiff
The problem here is, that a ship on earth in german is an exclusive term and never becomes a space ship. Therefore you'd still have to say Warp-Raumschiff. It's either or till at some point people use it so often that the german 'Duden' catches up on it, like...

Hell, I didn't ever imagine to find a matching term. It however does not refer to the warp drive, but to the seafarer term "warpen", which translates to kedging for throwing a kedge anchor and bringing it in to move a ship forward. Man that'll give speed! :shock:

Nonsense. It is just floating to the bottom. :lol:

In a broad term, you could say that a warp drive pulls you through resistance. But we know better.

Distortion ship: Verzerrungsschiff

I bet THAT'S one you won't be matching any terms to!!
Apparently that has to do with audio distortion, I found a search result on Google for Triangle Big Muff electro-harmonics unit LOL

:D

We don't know what propulsion warp drive will use, so we have incomplete term here:
