I think they called it "warp factor". And Warp factor 1.0 is indeed equal to light speed.

    Yea but warp 9 isn‘t 9x the size of light but much much more (somewhere between 800x and 1600x, depending which source you believe. But it’s not like trek canon is consistent there).

    I suppose it’s somewhat logarithmic, since Warp 1 is c and warp 10 is infinite speed. probably gets a bit annoying in the Warp 9.975 range.
