Hi Darren, Yes and no. As I under stand it warp travels through subspace bypassing normal space. So in that sense they aren't using FTL in that sense.
However, the impulse drive does use light speed as the main mode of travel. Full impulse is about 300,000 KPH, half impulse is 150,000 KPH, and so on. At least that is what I remember. So even there we are talking about a ship moving at an extremely high rate of speed, and since impulse is in normal space all the laws of general relativity and the laws of motion come into play here.
