Warp engines disabled, dropping out of warp randomly

[duodsg]

This isn't a BSOD issue, I believe- it's related to the KM mod, seeing as how warp parameters are changed because of the mod.

BUT

Every time I go into warp, I hear this weird Twilight Zone-ish sound go off and my warp engines take damage until they become disabled. Once they repair all the way (or even partially), I resume my course by going into warp, and the same thing keeps happening.

Every time it does, the screen says "dropping out of warp" and "warping to Space Set" or something very similar.

Clearly it's a game mechanic and not a technical issue per-se, but it's definitely "game-breaking" since that means I can't travel anywhere before my game crashes to desktop, like usual.

Anyone know what this is? What's causing it? Some enemy weapon? I did just barely fight a Breen task force, in case it's the energy dampening weapon (I never saw them fire it, though). But it only happens when I go to warp. Weird.

HMMM, but before check your engine settings, in the Enginnerring menu

It's a feature when using enhanced warp drive. You can not just go maximum warp on enhanced without consequence. Basically once you've reached the maximum and your engines are overheating they take damage and eventually if you yourself don't turn it off and drop out of warp, your engines overheat and you will be thrown out of warp.

If you hear that noise, you can try to put more addition power to repairing engines or disengage enhanced warp, reset engines to standard warp and try again. Don't over use it.

Thanks Adam, that sounds about right. I didn't even realize I was using "enhanced warp" but I'm guessing this is a modifier setting on the main menu of the game. Either that or I'll dig around forever within the menus and see what I can find, because it's clearly in some menu somewhere.

I honestly never thought I would find a ST game with as many options as I would find if it was real life. It's both a great thing and a terrible curse because I feel like Sulu, "leaving the parking brake on" all the time 

Thanks again!

**Mods- feel free to move this to the appropriate section/subforum, since this isn't a "technical" issue in the strictest sense. Definitely a KM-related gameplay modifier issue. Thank you!

it happens with normal warp too. if the ship is set to have a cruise speed and a a max speed then the ship engines take damage.

the type of warp is in the helm menu
