# If your ship collides with a solid object (station, gate, ship, etc...) it will "bounce". At this point, your ship will try to re-align and enter warp again. If you are bumping in to a structure (station, aseroid, accretion gate, etc...) this process can take a very long time. If this happens, it is best to cancel your warp and manually pilot until you are clear of the obstruction then try and warp again.

# If your ship enters an Interdiction Sphere (i.e. bubble), your warp drive will deactivate and you will need to manually fly clear of the bubble before you can warp.

==Effects of Warp Disruption==

In order for your ship's warp drive to activate, it must have a positive Warp Strength. Almost all ships have an inherent Warp Strength of 0. As long as there are no warp disruption modules active on them, they can enter warp. The effect of the Warp Disruptor module is to reduce your ships's Warp Strength by 1. For most ships, this reduces there Warp Strength to -1, thereby preventing the warp drive to active (or to turn if off if they ship is "aligning" out). The Warp Scrambler reduces the Warp Strength of a ship by 2. There is a Low Power module called a Warp Core Stabilizer that will increase the Warp Strength of a ship by 1 per module. Interdiction Spheres (i.e. bubbles) reduce the Warp Strength of a ship by an infinite amount (i.e. it is impossible to warp while in a bubble unless you are in a ship with an interdiction Nullifier, like an Interceptor or a properly fit Strategic Cruiser). See [[Warp disruption]] for more details.
