So how should look an FTL energy equation? Lets say we can determine
an absolute frame of reference (or something) at least post process.

I suppose it depends on your method.

Hyperspace: well, you're not in the "normal" dimensions, so, the
energy used is the transition, then the energy to move in the
constricted space, then then transition back. since we haven't seen
things go into some "hyperspace" at "typical" energies, it could be
argued that hyperspace transition requires extreme energy densities
(or temperatures, which is the same thing).

Warp drives: if one assumes that the "warp" is a locus where the sped
of light becomes higher, Albacure's equations require some sort of
negative mass. The corralary heory to use extreme space constriction
requires more negative mass, but less for the warp. Again, we haven't
seen negative mass, and there is no evidence theoretically that it is
possible - so, it must, of neccesity, be esoteric.

I'm not sure that there is a type of FTL travel which doesn't boil
down to one or the other possibility. "Wormhole" travel is a
hyperspace, for instance.
