Enterprise J at Quantum Warp

I proposed on the old CBS ST BBS Trek needed an upgrade / reformat. The all too familiar local galaxy presented to many repeat episodes. The newness of TOS in the 1960's has worn off. We need bigger space, faster ships, greater challenges, more unknowns. Sexier concepts.
Trek Reboot can be a lead in to Star Trek Universe.
I have come up with several workable ideas leading to the solution to "save the galaxy" this time involves developing out of extreme necessity Quantum Warp Drive. In effect the ability to go anywhere in the universe in no more than a few days time so long as the mathematical address is properly programmed into the navigational computers.

The starburst effect behind the ENTJ is the lensing of various quantum dimensions the ship is transiting. The faster the speed the greater the lensing and the fewer times it erupts behind the ship.
In the illustration the ship is essentially braking down to normal space-time using in the slowest QWarp Factor standard warp factors in reverse to accomplish the braking.

The ideas I have proposed will essentially right the imbalanced universe Spock Prime entered (causing the imbalance) where things are not happening / concluding as they should (or did in Prime's Universe).
The Vulcan Science Directorate that concluded time travel is impossible were correct. What appeared to be time travel to the time travelers was actually transiting from one universe to another in their different time periods.
Sustained interloping in an alien universe disrupts that universe. The only way to solve the dilemma is to return the interloper (in this case Spock Prime) to his own universe.
Trouble is, the black hole that would do the job is in another galaxy.

IIRC the Enterprise J is a super sized vessel- it was described as having local areas acting almost like towns and you had to transport to get to different areas of the ship because it was too large for turbolifts to be practical.
It makes me wonder what the ships mission profile might be. The QWarp would allow it to travel across to different galaxies like the old Warp drive traveled between stars. With a ship so large and so fast it does not really make much sense to keep it inside just one galaxy- the universe is a very big place and by the time the E-J would be commissioned the local area should be thoroughly explored and settled.

Those are impossible for our universe, nevermind hopping a few galaxies.
The laws of physics probably aren't that different in other galaxies. They're universal constants...not galactic ones.*
Then why fly to another galaxy when you can have all those convenient moist settings in your own back yard?
It serves no purpose. It's like taking NCIS and making NCIS LA. It's the same show just with different weather.
Interesting idea. I came up with a similar-ish type of propulsion in Star Trek: Absolution, albeit not very stable just like failed transwarp drive. The ship uses 2 deflectors to open a wormhole to travel anywhere in the galaxy. A side effect of the drive is that the energy from the deflectors has to be channelled within 40 seconds or things start exploding. Expelling the energy through the nacelles as it goes to warp can cause a massive distortion wave expelling the ship 100s of lightyears in seconds.
1 reason to set the story far away from the milkyway is for new ideas. I think trek TNG era was becoming stale. I dont see how another TV show could exist in the milkyway without it
repeating storylines and mistakes. Or relying on a reset button when taking epic chances and changes to major stories.
If trek ever came back to TV significant changes would be needed to keep the general interest. So why not have an intergalactic or interdimensional adventure?
