Yeah, that really depends on how they define warp bubbles in the universe then, cause it'd imply the transmission occurs between ships faster than light
Maybe something like the receiving ship trails behind the sending, exact same course just at a distance where light leaving the warp bubble would 'fall' that exact y distance over the time it takes to travel the distance between them in the x distance. It'd also still limit their distance even within their own space bubble
Then it'd make sense cause any course deviation would cause them to 'miss' and again travel through the infinite cosmos as energy.
Thinking about it it also describes those thematic sparkles that happen when they teleport, cause what were seeing is essentially the existence of that person as light.
edit: forgot to say thanks for the comliment! I definitely am gonna have to watch the show(s) soon!
I'd definitely recommend them, though sometimes you'll need to power through some dry bits. All the 90's trek started out rough and only got better.
It's not hard sci-fi, so the technology sometimes works the way the story needs it to work, but generally it's pretty consistent.
