I don´t understand. "can´t get close enough"? Shouldn´that be that if they get close enough their warp bubbles merge and they can use weapons as if at STL speeds? Or: their warp bubbles collapse and they can only go back to FTL if either the distance has increased sufficiently or one warp generator is destroyed?
