Line 155:

Bumping is basically the act of throwing your ship directly at an opponent at high speed, to turn his ship around and mess up any aligning or movement he’s trying to do. (You're welcome to shout 'Ramming speed!' while doing this, provided you don't do so over Mumble . . .) The faster and more massive your ship is, the better: Machariels and Stabbers with battleship-sized MWDs fitted (you'll probably want some Reactor Control Units to get enough grid) work nicely.

~~Bumps may keep~~ a slowly-aligning ship from entering warp ~~indefinitely~~. They can also, together with webs, delay a ship which is trying to burn back to a gate after jumping into a gatecamp.

The goal of bumping is to delay a slowly-aligning ship from entering warp (though after 3 minutes of attempting to align, the ship will automatically jump. This timer can be reset by any effect that disrupts the ability to warp - i.e. scrams and bubbles). They can also, together with webs, delay a ship which is trying to burn back to a gate after jumping into a gatecamp.
