Reducing the [[Instant align|align time]] of a ship to less than 2 seconds enables it to [[Instant align|"insta-align"]] and avoid being tackled in most circumstances; [[Interdiction_101#Bubble_Mechanics|bubbles]] in nullsec space will still prevent warp, and ships boosted to very high sensor strengths to achieve "insta-lock" might still catch such a ship, as at sub-two-second intervals the exact outcome begins to depend on the internet connections of the target and attacker, and on server ticks rather than normal time.

Another option is to have a friend or an alt to web your ship as it starts aligning, dropping its maximum speed and making it align almost instantaneously. This can be extremely useful for very slow aligning ships like [[Hauling#Freighters|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 be able to web yourself safely without CONCORD intervention (highsec) or security status loss and gate gun intervention (lowsec).

The fastest warping ship in the EVE Universe is the {{sh|Leopard}} (20 AU/s) followed by the [[Interceptors]] and [[Covert Ops]] frigates (8 AU/s base speed). There's also the {{sh|Dramiel}} (7.5 AU/s base speed); thanks to having 3 rig slots instead of just the two slots of T2 frigates, it can actually sport the highest possible warp speed amongst the frigates, clocking in at '''13 AU/s''' with 3 x {{co|coral|Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II}} rigs compared to the T2 frigates' '''12.2 AU/s'''. This is thanks to the {{icon|angel cartel|18}} [[Angel Cartel]] bonus to warp speed, which all Angel ships have.

There is also an [[implants|implant]] called {{co|coral|Inherent Implants 'Noble' Mechanic MC-8}} which further increases your hull hitpoints by up to 6% for the most expensive variant.

There are also [[implants]] that help increase your armour hit points, such as the {{co|coral|Inherent Implants 'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-10}} and the {{co|coral|Genolution Core Augmentation CA-4}} implant as well as the Low-, Mid- and High-grade {{co|coral|Slave}} set.

Most of the armor- and structure-tanking modules increase your align time, making you turn and handle like a brick with align times pushing 15+ seconds. See [[Travel_fits#Propulsion modules|propulsion modules]] and [[Travel_fits#Friendly webs|friendly webs]] above for more information on how to mitigate this without sacrificing too much of your tank.

While [[Interceptors|interceptors]], [[Covert Ops|covops ships]] and shuttles are better for moving safely and quickly, basic T1 frigates also have their uses as cheap, usually-ignored ships with more cargo space than a shuttle.  

None of these facts mean that cloaked ships are a bad choice, but pilots should not make the mistake of assuming that their stealth is a total defence.

Covert Ops frigates are often favoured for travel via wormholes, given the fickle nature of wormholes, the value of remaining unseen and the bonused ability easily to scan down a new ''"door"'' should the old one close on you.
