Deceleration is calculated slightly differently. Instead of using ''k'' to calculate distance and velocity, it uses ''j'', which is defined as <math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}\min(\frac{k}{3},2)</math>. A different rate of deceleration is used to prevent ships suddenly transitioning from "many, many AU away" to "on grid and out of warp" more rapidly than other pilots (or the server / client) can keep up with. | Deceleration is calculated slightly differently.

There is a complication with deceleration calculations. Ships do not drop out of warp at 0 m/s. Instead, they drop out of warp at ''s'' m/s, after which normal sub-warp calculations take over. | |||
<math>\pagecolor{Black}\color{White}s = \min(100, v_{subwarp}/2)</math> | |||
Where v<sub>subwarp</sub> is the maximum subwarp velocity of the ship; this varies greatly depending on the ship hull and pilot skills. | |||
