Instant align: Difference between revisions

The align time for a given fit is listed in the navigation tab of the fitting window. Remember that the align time in the fitting window is for a ship at a dead stop. The actual time it takes you to align to something will depend on your ship, velocity, and heading.

=== Reducing align time ===

Several skills affect your align time, starting with the most relevant skills:

{| class="wikitable"

! Skill

! Bonus

|-

| 5% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level

|-

| 2% improved ship agility for all ships per skill level

|}

There are also special case skills, for certain ships fits with specific modules.

==== Can warp core stabs help me to stay safe on my travel? ====

Yes! And No! Probably... depends. Maybe.

How do stabs save you from WT's? They negate the effect of one point per stab. And while you can still warp if you get scramed with 2 stabs in your fit, it will still disable your MWD. So if you see that your ship can't get the 2 seconds align time, you can maybe use enough stabs to get out.

Or not. 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. They are called [[Cruisers#Heavy Interdiction Cruisers|HICs]]. Those little buggers can use a point that ignores all your stabs and keeps you from warping. But it won't shut down your MWD, so you could still try to crash the gate and jump away from the HIC.

** Cov Ops cloak

** 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)

The [[Cloak trick|Microwarp Drive Cloak trick]] manipulates cloaking mechanics to mimic instant alignment for slow-aligning industrial ships.
