Instant alignment ("insta-align") is the ability to enter warp within 2 seconds ("instawarp") from a dead stop. If your ship insta-aligns, you can't be [[Tackling|tackled]] as long as you hit warp before the other player hits lock. You can safely jump into, and warp off, any gate, as long as it isn't [[Interdiction 101|bubbled]]. Ships [[Travel fits|fitted for instant alignment]] are commonly used for interstellar travel and ~~for~~ flying through a [[Gate camps|gate camps]].

Align time is a measure of how long it takes your ship [[Warp mechanics#What_you_need_to_know_about_entering_warp|enter warp]] from a dead stop. It takes a minimum of 2 seconds (2 [[Server tick|sever ticks]]) for for someone to be able to [[Targeting#Targeting_time|lock]] and [[Tackling|tackle]] your ship. If your align time less than 2 seconds ~~then~~ you can be in warp before they can ~~activate a~~ tackle ~~module on~~ you.

It takes a minimum of 2 seconds (2 [[Server tick|sever ticks]]) for for someone to be able to [[Targeting#Targeting_time|lock]] and [[Tackling|tackle]] your ship. So, if your align time less than 2 seconds, you can be in warp before they can tackle you.

The align time for a given fit is listed in the navigation tab of the [[Fitting 101#Fitting_Window|fitting window]]. Remember that the align time ~~given~~ is for a ship at a dead stop~~: a ship in motion may~~ align ~~faster or slower depending~~ on ~~the course correction required~~.

The align time for a given fit is listed in the navigation tab of the [[Fitting 101#Fitting_Window|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.
