warp 1 = fast
warp 2 = real fast
warp 3 = very fast
warp 4 = very, very fast

and so on... anything over warp 6 or 7 is only used to get a
startled look from the helmsman.  Anything over warp 9 is only
to get a call from Scotty warning about the engines blowing up or
some such terrible event.   (You know.... "Cap'n, we canna take much
more o' this.  She's gonna blow!")
