Warp speeds and align times
This is just to illustrate the differences in warp speeds including potential align times.
Acceleration gates
When you use an acceleration gate, be that in missions, incursions or complexes, it sends your ship into a pocket of space roughly 10,000 km in front of the gate.
Base warp and align times
These are the base warp and align times for taking a gate unaligned or pre-aligned.
| Ship class | Warp speed (including align time)[1] |
|---|---|
| Large ship Battleships | 25s (32-40s) |
 Strategic cruisers
|
17s (23-24s) |
| Logistics
|
16s (22-23s) |
 Frigates
|
7s (11-13s) |
- ^ Light green is the fastest align possible assuming max skills and fast aligning ships like Machariels, dark green is the slowest align time assuming people come with the recommended skills only, flying slower ships like the Maelstrom or Rokh.
Alternative methods
Now let's see the different alternatives for aligning, how they match up with the battleships.
| Ship class (variants) | Warp speed (including align time) |
|---|---|
| Large ship Battleships | 25s (32-40s) |
| Logistics (normal)
|
16s (22-23s) |
| Logistics (afterburner on)
|
16s (24-26s) |
| Logistics (aligning backwards)
|
16s (25-27s) |
Warping between sites
This is the new warp times when you're warping between sites. If you do a controlled fleet or wing warp, everyone will slow down and warp at the same speed as the slowest ship in the fleet (usually the battleships). If you're freely warping, each pilot warping by themselves, they'll fly at their own individual speeds.

Overshooting times
Below are some numbers for how long it takes to overshoot a gate, or otherwise end out outside activation range. These times will account for the extremes, taking into account the worst possible spot to land on grid in relation to the gate (which can make you lose or gain up to 10 seconds worth of align time).
- It can takes a logistics ship as little as 30 seconds to overshoot a gate leading into an Override Transfer Array site.
- It can take less than 10 seconds for a logistics to be out of range from a gate trying to align away from it, if you land furthest away from the gate.
