Without the engines, the fold goes away, and superluminal travel is no longer possible (at least in the most common systems; Borg transwarp conduits are another story).
(3) Geeky science lesson over (and yes, this actually IS theoretically possible based on current understanding of real science, we just don't have enough energy production and density to make it possible yet). As you were.

@Atomicbutterfly Glad to provide it!
Neekerbreeker 🇺🇸🇺🇦@officialunofficialjdc I didn't know this! Very cool. Thanks for explaining so clearly.
