Instant align: Difference between revisions

Line 2:

Instant align, often referred as Insta align, is a method of using Server ticks to avoid getting caught in a gate camp. Combined with the Interdiction Nullifier of an [[Interceptors_Guide|interceptor]] it also a "safe" method for null security space. Exceptions will be explained in the advanced part.

==Basic==

If your ship has an align time of less than 2 seconds, it (usually) can not be instalocked and [[Tackling|tackled]] in a [[Gate camps|Gate camp]]. A ship that fulfills this requirement is called an insta align ship.

==Advanced==

===Do I know how insta locking works?===

First, a good article about the [https://www.themittani.com/features/understanding-eve-online-server-tick server ticks], so you know how EVE Online is working server side.

After reading that article, you know how long 1 tick takes(1 sec for the lazy people). And you want your ship, if possible, out within 2 ticks(before the third starts, because otherwise your enemy has the 3rd tick to tackle you). So as long as your ship is faster than 2 secs align time, you are mostly safe from even instant locking ships. All thanks to game mechanics. \o/

Yes, there is a "but" as you can [https://www.reddit.com/r/Eve/comments/360lbq/busting_the_travelceptor_myth/ read] here. But I doubt that WTs are able to pull it off. :)

And another nice [http://eve.501gu.de/misc/travelceptor_vs_instalocker.png graph] about instalocking and how it works.
