Let's have a discussion about warp coils, but not FTL travel.
This magic device can lighten the mass of a ship, but is affected by planetary gravity.
Let us say at Earth ground level it can lighten the mass of a ship by 2%, then as the ship gets higher and higher using a (conventional fusion rocket) it decreases the ships mass more and more, with 99% mass reduction 3/4 between the Earth to the Moon when Earth gravity cancels out. Nothing is perfect and we will not be violating physics here.
Assuming the warp coil needs plasma to run, which can be generated with a fusion reactor what would a ship like this look like?
