Missions and LP 18 8. Deciding what skills your player will need can save an Eve pilot from wasting his time by learning how to do things he does not need. Yes! They negate the effect of one point per stab. EVE Online. This fit only requires you to train a  Evasive Maneuvering III (2x) and if you don't already have it,  Gallente Frigate I (2x) which in total is less than 9 hours worth of training. When it comes to modules and rigs, there are three low slot modules and one rig that increases warp speed. Fitting enough tank not to be worth ganking, Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-7, Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Warp Drive Speed WS-6, Inherent Implants 'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-10, Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-704. As long as the cycle time of your propulsion module is shorter than your align and warp time, you will benefit. Their ability to remain cloaked at all times, assuming you don't let anything get too close, will allow them to safely scout out gates for gate camp as well as letting them use covert cynosural fields. While it still does not have bubble immunity, it gains additional durability (able to potentially survive 3 full volleys from a smartbombing battleship), a full 600 m3 cargo bay, and doesn't even require frigate skill training.

Comparing that to an All Level V Claw Interceptor using 4x Nanofiber Internal Structure IIs, the align time is 2.1 second. And another nice graph about instalocking and how it works. Base speed of ship; Low slots (using Overdrive Injector II 1); Mid slot (using one 1MN MicroWarpdrive II); Rigs (using Small Auxiliary Thrusters II 1) Regular covert ops ships are often favoured for travel via wormholes, given the fickle nature of wormholes, the value of remaining unseen and the ability to scan down a new "door" should the old one close on you. So if your ship aligns in 2 seconds or less then you can be in warp before being tackled. Astero, Blockade Runner, Covert Ops, Etana, Prospect, Force Recon, Stealth Bomber, Strategic Cruiser, Stratios, Victorieux Luxury Yacht. Here is the short list: Since align times are rounded up to the nearest second, align times of 1.01s and 1.99s are, in effect, equivalent. Of particular interest are the astronautic rigs and nanofiber internal structures which will reduce the total armor and structure hit points respectively on a ship. For really paranoid capsuleers moving about in the high or low security space of New Eden, there's the Hecate which can sport a "true insta-warper" fit with a < 1 second align time. Eve is amazing 5 2. There are also special case skills for certain modules, such as the EM Shield Amplifier II module or any of the other passive resist amplifiers. This is commonly referred to as the MWD + cloak trick, see cloak trick or Seamus Donohue's video for more information. If your align time is high enough, there's also the option to use propulsion modules such as Afterburners (cycles as fast as 7,5 seconds) and Microwarpdrives (cycles in 10 seconds) to reduce your align time. The Stiletto requires  Spaceship Command IV to keep align time under 2 seconds and the Ares and Malediction both need  Power Grid Management V and  Shield Upgrades V to fit the second shield extender. Ship classes 11 5. By pulsing the module once (activating it and then immediately deactivating it), you can align in 7,5 - 10 seconds flat as long as you start your align from a standstill (like after you've jumped through a gate). Usually increasing warp speed tends to cut down on travel time the most, since you spend more time in warp than you do aligning. For the rich, using the Leopard you'll improve warp speed to20 AU/s warp speed, significantly improving your mileage. Otherwise, you may spend a lot of time (possibly years) and fuel drifting until they happen to match up. The modules increase warp speed by raising the base AU/s warp speed by a fixed number, while the rig has a normal percentage-based bonus. Shuttles aren't always available at decent prices as well, but can easily be stockpiled or even built if you regularly need to use them. They are called HICs. 5% bonus to structure hit points per skill level. Instant alignment ("insta-align") is the ability to enter warp within 2 seconds ("instawarp") from a dead stop. 5% bonus to armor hit points per skill level, +5% bonus to thermal resistance per level for, +5% bonus to kinetic resistance per level for, +5% bonus to explosive resistance per level for, 5% bonus to shield hit points per skill level, This fit is designed for minimum skill requirements and cost. The only really variable we could tune was the top speed. Those little buggers can use a point that ignores all your stabs and keeps you from warping. Maybe. I EFT warrior'd an All Level V Rifter using 3x Nanofiber Internal Structure IIs that'll align in 2.2 seconds. While there are several modules that reduce inertia, some are stronger than others, leaving you with these modules as well as the one rig that helps reduce align time. One of the major drawbacks of this style of fitting is it will reduce low slots that may be used for armor or structure tanking. “The best I could get the battleship down to was about 7.9 seconds. I want the orca to get there first, loot everything, and then just have the battleship salvage real fast … The tremendous cargo space and short align time with the proper modules have made it a staple at Razor and XIX fights. So as long as your ship is faster than 2 secs align time, you are mostly safe from even instant locking ships. If you’ve got the skills then it performs well as an armour Sabre replacement. The actual time it takes you to align to something will depend on your ship, velocity, and heading. If you transport cargo of any significant value I would recommend a Covert Ops ship (Anathema, Buzzard, Helios and Cheetah), which has an identical warp speed but higher align time of around 5 seconds. In fact, latency is designed into the game. Rules 6 3. Step 2 - Planetary Alignment. Note that Capital ships such as the  Orca and  Bowhead can't align fast enough with undersized 100MN afterburners, but can still use undersized 500MN microwarpdrives for a 10 second align. A detailed explanation can be found in this Eve-Guides.fr article. I’ve tried running a number of other styles of fit (other than the fast plated one) and none of them really perform quite as well. For a long time, the options available for us to balance how ships warp around have been rather limited. “Assault frigates are about four or five second align time,” he tells me. Using an afterburner in this fashion requires you to use a size-appropriate afterburner, 1MN for frigates, 10MN for cruisers, 100MN for battleships. On paper, I just couldn’t align fast enough.” The skills to use a proper tech two shield tank isn't quite as skill intensive as armour and since there aren't any passive omni tanked shield modules, you're often better off using active invulnerability fields. If you are trying to cut your align time from 3.4 seconds to 3.2 seconds, you are wasting your time unless you are going to have a fleet agility booster in system to cut that align time from 3.2 seconds to 3.0 seconds. This option is slightly less useful in low and null security space, due to its paper tank and the ease of simply smartbombing you as you approach the gate ... picking off both you and your pod in one fell swoop. Having a Warp Core Stabilizer I or two might save you from a lone enemy with just a long point, but for that to be useful you'll need to be able to warp away before anyone else shows up with a second or third point, or a scram. Or not. Align time is a measure of how long it takes your ship enter warp from a dead stop. See propulsion modules and friendly webs above for more information on how to mitigate this without sacrificing too much of your tank. The Claw is the fastest of the Interceptor group, but a Dramiel running an MWD is faster because of its lower mass, since MWD speed boost is affected by ship mass.. :) It doesn't have the bubble immunity of an interceptor, but it's a nice option for low skilled pilots in high security space to move around in something with a bit more effective hit points, speed and cargo space (compared to a simple shuttle). (Not a very good idea). I thought that the Sunesis would be a great name for the new room because to me it embodies the precedence set by CCP in that they would much rather sit by the sidelines and observe the action, rather than directly controlling the flow of it. It obviously lacks the bubble-immunity and speed of the travelceptor, but has other benefits like literally being uncatchable as well as higher cargo hold capacity. As such it might not be something you'll be doing as a young capsuleer, but for people with high armor support skills flying certain ships (with more armor than structure hit points) it might be slightly stronger than the structure approach mentioned above. None of these skills are required to fit the modules, but they will improve their efficiency. The time needed for this alignment can vary quite a bit and is influenced by many factors, such as the agility of the ship (represented by the Inertia Modifier), its mass and its current vector of flight relative to the warp target. But it won't shut down your MWD, so you could still try to crash the gate and jump away from the HIC. We learn by doing - this video will show you what to do!Have 10 mil or more SP and looking for a corp? First, a good article about the server ticks, so you know how EVE Online is working server side. Conclusion: If your ship can align within 2 secs and your enemy has a bad internet connection(or his scan resolution is to low), you are pretty much safe from getting shot at/tackled. There are implants, modules and one type of rig that can help boost your ship's warp speed. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with. Minmatar has the best t2 transports (and tied for the best freighter as well) The Prowler is fast and the most agile BR (5.3 sec align without mods/rigs), carries enough for any trade runs, and is the only one to have two high slots so it's usable in W-space. Below are some examples of suitable modules to further your fitting goals. A ship needs to align towards its warp target and accelerate to at least 75% of its current maximum velocity in order to enter warp. The Microwarp Drive Cloak trick manipulates cloaking mechanics to mimic instant alignment for slow-aligning industrial ships. Strangely enough, adding in Small Low Friction Nozzle Joints small rigs didn't change the align time. There are three fundamentally different ways of fitting your ship for travel; Speed, tank or safety. It's also possible for people to burn towards your location and decloak you before you've managed to align. This is in part due to the low innate agility of the Hecate as well as the agility-bonused tactical propulsion mode and adequate low slots. On a fast align ship like a tactical destroyer in prop mode or an interceptor, it happens in ~2 sec, but on a slower ship it happens at the eventual align time end. It takes a minimum of 2 seconds (2 server ticks) for for someone to be able to lock and tackle your ship. \o/ Fastest possible align from there will still take 1 second (because it's rounded up and the server works in 1 second increment), which is enough to kill you if the campers are good. Remember that the align time in the fitting window … Possessing the largest cargo holds of any ship class in the game (around 40 times that of the best industrial class ships), freighters are very large and travel very slowly. One of the great pros of shield tanking is that low slots remain free which allows you to fit for speed, cargo or another layer of tank depending on your preference and needs. It takes a minimum of 2 seconds (2 server ticks) for for someone to be able to lock and tackle your ship. Those speeds can then be further augmented by the above mentioned Ascendancies-implants, making it possible for the Leopard to reach a staggering 32.4 AU/s, the Dramiel to hit 21,1 AU/s and Interceptors to hit 19,7 AU/s. 20 seconds to do anything after joining a fleet. The main risk of this method is messing up the cloak and getting locked before you manage to get your cloak up, which would make it impossible for you to cloak up. There are also implants that help reduce your align time, such as the Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-7 and the low- and mid-grade Nomad set. Can warp core stabs help me to stay safe on my travel? And while you can still warp if you get scramed with 2 stabs in your fit, it will still disable your MWD. While there are 50,000MN-variants for capital ships, certain ships like Orcas and Bowheads can only fit "undersized" 500MN Microwarpdrives due to powergrid restrictions. Shuttles are dirt cheap and are often ignored by most in high security space. This can be extremely useful for very slow aligning ships like freighters. To remedy this, you can up your tank to the point where it's not worth ganking you for profit. Covops Cloak) requires, https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/index.php?title=Travel_fits&oldid=159509, 5% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level, 2% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level, 5% Bonus per skill level to the agility of ships requiring Advanced Spaceship Command, 5% reduction to armor plate mass penalty per level, 5% bonus to ship inertia modifier per level. Sub 2 second align when MWD is off (1.99s) 12.2 AU/s warp speed, 595 m/s base speed 5.44k Effective HP. I have lost so many ships and spent 900 million so far. There is also an implant called Inherent Implants 'Noble' Mechanic MC-8 which further increases your hull hitpoints by up to 6% for the most expensive variant. How do stabs save you from WT's? I never really use hyperspacials due to the fact that when you are in the tunnel your ship is safe. This will drastically reduce the chance of someone bothering to destroy your ship. There are several modules either increasing the raw shield hit points or various shield resists: There are also implants that help increase your shield hit points, such as the Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Management SM-7 and the So if you're forced to choose between the two, it tends to be more beneficial to focus slightly more on increasing warp speed than reducing align time. This method relies on fitting an Improved Cloaking Device II and a microwarpdrive to allow you to be cloaked while aligning, minimizing the time you're actually visible on grid. Even if you can get 8 warpcore stabs(this will keep you from aligning in less than 2 seconds), a single ship can still lock you down. MWD Cloak trick (, If you feel comfortable to use the cloak+MWD trick, do so, but they can still catch you with fast ships (As the align takes 10 seconds, which is long enough for a fast ship to decloak you and since the MWD is causing a signature bloom, insta lock you), Close to a campus that is able to form a QRF in a reasonable time and enough buffer to last untill help arrives. Ships capable of fitting the Covert Ops Cloaking Device II module [1] [2] can be very effective in moving about in hostile space, such as low-, null- and wormhole space. Another option is to have a friend or an alt to web your ship as it starts aligning, dropping its maximum speed making it align almost instantaneously. While Eve Online’s s kill system saves a lot of the skill grinding that players find annoying in other mmorpgs, it introduces some drawbacks that are … We want dual prop (for crashing gates if someone lands a scram), rapid light missiles (for hazing frigate tackle as a last resort), and an under 5 second align time (it's not great, but it's the best you can hope for in T3s now). As such they are limited to using them only as a means to align in 10 seconds flat (see above). EVE Online is infamous for many things: scams that leave their victims devastated, player-created empires that span the stars, and perhaps most for war. However, as I'll show later, changing this value only has a minor impact on the overall travel time of fast ships vs slow ships. This page was last edited on 12 August 2020, at 06:20. level 2 Caldari State And you want your ship, if possible, out within 2 ticks(before the third starts, because otherwise your enemy has the 3rd tick to tackle you). You can fit for anti-gank by using an invulnerability field as well as thermal and kinetic hardener or amplifier, since the strongest gankers are gallente in the current meta. When converted to EVE Online subscription time it equals nearly $5,000 USD, making it one of the biggest kills in EVE history. I am currently in Brave Newbies Corp. and have been playing Eve for a month. After reading that article, you know how long 1 tick takes(1 sec for the lazy people). If your align time is high enough, there's also the option to use propulsion modules such as Afterburners (cycles as fast as 7,5 seconds) and Microwarpdrives (cycles in 10 seconds) to reduce your align time. If you have Evasive Maneuvering V, an Inertial Stabilizer can be replaced with an Expanded Cargohold II, increasing capacity to 765 m3. And No! Yes, there is a "but" as you can read here. Modules 20 9.1 Industry I 24 9.2 Industry II 26 10. If your only concern is to get to your destination as fast as possible, not having any war targets or pirates to worry about nor carrying too many expensive modules, you can focus exclusively on cutting down the align time and increasing warp speed. In order to align instantly, you must have an align time of less than or equal to 2.00s. There are also implants that help reduce your align time, such as the Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-7 and the low- and mid-grade Nomad set. TinyMinerPlus v5.84 Eve Online Mining Bot Macro Miner, Market Trader, Items Seller and Assets Hauler has just been released, fully compatible with the latest Eve Online updates, expansions and patches, including the newest one, Reign, Eve Online February 2021 Release!. An " Insta-Warp " is a ship that has an align time under 2 seconds. The Mastodon can carry 30k+m2, which 2nd only to the Impel. It takes 20 seconds to undock. There are also implants that help increase your warp speed, such as the Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Warp Drive Speed WS-6 and the Mid- and High-grade Ascendancy set. The fastest warping ship in the EVE Universe is the  Leopard (20 AU/s) followed by the Interceptors and Covert Ops frigates (8 AU/s base speed). ... that when you fly any of these faction battleships or even the t1 battleships neutrals will hunt you as you are slow to align and warp and you can be scanned down quite easily. Only one skill improves your structure hit points, but another indirectly helps by allowing you to fit modules that improve structure hit points: The following modules and rigs help improve your structure hit points or resists: If you're fitting for a structure tank while simultaneously going for align time, it's usually worth avoiding the Nanofiber Internal Structure II (since it reduces structure hit points) and favour the Inertia Stabilizers II module instead. Each has pros and cons associated with them, it may be beneficial to carry fittings for all three and swap depending on what you expect to find along your route of travel if your ship has enough cargo space. This option is more suitable for larger, bulkier ships, that simply cannot drop their align time far enough to matter or for other reasons need their fitting room for other things. If your ship insta-aligns, you can't be tackled as long as you hit warp before the other player hits lock. Areas of space 9 4. Specified market details for fitting (Est. Several skills affect your align time, starting with the most relevant skills: There are also special case skills, for certain ships fits with specific modules. Probably... depends. But no rule without exception: It is for this reason that "max agility" BR fits are nearly always a myth. They can take up long periods (over 30 seconds) to align for warp, and in warp, they travel very slowly (0.7au/s). Similarly, an align time of 2.01s is equivalent to an align time of 3s. The align time of a ship is based on the ship's mass and agility as well as agility and inertia bonuses from skills, modules, rigs and implants. Use the rest of the midslots for as many shield extenders as possible and an afterburner/microwarpdrive to cut then align time down. 1 medium shield extender plus 2 small shield extenders Cost under 50M ISK Cloak MWD Trick during emergency situation
