==== Propulsion modules ====

If your align time is high enough, there's also the option to use propulsion modules such as '''Afterburners''' and '''Microwarpdrives''' to reduce your align time. ~~See [[#Reducing_inflated_align_times~~|~~reducing inflated~~ align ~~times]] below~~ 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. 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). 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. It will allow them to combine a decent align time with a proper tank, for example.

Using an afterburner in this fashion requires you to use a size-appropriate afterburner, 1MN for frigates, 10MN for cruisers, 100MN for battleships. Note that Capital ships such as the {{sh|Orca}} and {{sh|Bowhead}} can't align fast enough with undersized 100MN afterburners, but can still use undersized 500MN microwarpdrives for a 10 second align.

==== Friendly webs ====

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. This can be extremely useful for very slow aligning ships like [[freighter]]s. It does require some effort and planning however, as some gates are pretty large so the webbing ship needs to either be really fast to close the distance, or have a web range bonus like the {{sh|Hyena}} or {{sh|Cruor}}.

You also need to either be in a corp with '''friendly fire''' enabled, or set up a friendly '''duel''' between you and your alt in order to safely be able to web yourself.
