Well, I will conceed the point that building it from the ground up specifically for the purpose could potentially do it, but it would still need some relitively expensive things to get it to do so. For one, it would need fairly sturdy structural supports, which means structural steel is out of the question, raising the cost. Another thing would be the power. A warp drive needs a decent amount of power to charge up and actually warp, which means most normal engines can't provide the neccesary power unless there is a capacitor relay which allows the nessecary power to build up. And there also other things which I can't think of atm.

And josh, some, but not all. Most of the law changes are related to space-time. And some have no changes at all from reality(namely worm holes to an extent). And Josh, most warp methods are extremely volatile. The Hansa IG warp drives use methods like getting smashed in between capitals(Owl's warp drive, though it probably doesn't need that in RP), or extremely high rates of spin(Mace's). Both of those could easily rip apart many ships if designed wrong. In a small aircraft or tank, the smallest imperfection in the warp drive could easily cause the entire vehicle to occilate and self destruct. Slip space drives forcefully cut into a dimesion, and if it's a very rough 'cut'(which most are, in UAC anyway), your going to have a very, very bumpy ride, and will easily destroy any vehicle that isn't properly reinforced(and hyperspace is pretty similar). And worm hole methods could potentially have a black hole created instead, absorbing the vehicle. Also, technically, the vessels usually don't experince any form of acceleration at all. The space time is contracted, and so while you remain still, the space time around you speeds up. But the warp drives themselves will often have parts which are extremely fast or extremely dangerous, or cause some side effect in the space it take you to. Or, in the case of worm holes, the very components used to make said worm hole(black holes) could be generated and destroy the thing trying to be warped(as well as everything around it)
