Further discussion on the topic posed on captain_mills ringship thread:
Those were interesting reads...but I find such studies to be counter-productive at this stage. Even with the latest revision to Alcubierre warp theory posted by NASA earlier this year making it an attainable technology we have a long way to go. Surely, at least in my mind, if we are actually able to develop the technological know-how and infrastructure required to make this happen we will figure out solutions to the problems noted in the above articles. We are also talking about a pin-point energy wave generated by the field and there is no indication that a warp field wake would result creating a wide area particle wave. As suggested by another poster it seems simple enough to deal with this potentiality with navigation.
Another interesting fact about the Alcubierre warp bubble is that particles and photons impacting the bubble will become trapped on the edge, and when the ship decelerates out of warp, this energy is released and will destroy the planet you are approaching.
