It was like that from the first movie, so yeah it is an odd drive system they have, especially when the Ent flies out of the conduit in STID. The fact that Spock Prime never picked up on this is very puzzling indeed. There is also the issue that no one has ever been overtaken at warp, something which happened in Star Trek :Enterprise quite a few times meaning that didn't happen in the AU. There is a lot of weird stuff in the AU timeline, or perhaps just Easter Eggs, or Abrams could just trolling the fans. Not sure yet. I mean if you look at the diagram on Admiral Marcus' wall it has a Transwarp Network.Plus in the comics they have even encountered the Borg, and they make the OTL look like chumps, they're more akin to Replicators from Stargate than anything else.Now post TNG were you going aynway?

Wow, I never noticed the Transwarp network on the display. That's pretty damning. 

Yeah, post TNG, but by only a few years, probably mid 2380s.
