Conversely, in PvP, you want to minimize your signature radius, so that your opponent takes a long time to lock on to you (giving you time to get a few shots off, or to escape). There are almost no direct ways of reducing your ship's signature radius (other than flying a different ship ~~and~~ some implants), so be mindful of the modules which increase it (for instance, turning on your microwarpdrive (MWD) increases your signature radius by 500%). For more discussion on what affects signature radius, see [[signature radius]], keeping in mind that a small signature radius also helps with reducing incoming damage (for more details, see [[missile mechanics]] and [[turret mechanics]]).
