There are three fundamentally different ways of fitting your ship for travel; '''Speed''', '''tank''' or '''safety'''. Each has pros and cons associated with them, it may be beneficial to carry fittings for all three and swap depending on what you expect to find along your route of travel if your ship has enough cargo space.
 
 
 
= Fitting for increased travel speed =
 
If your only concern is to get to your destination as fast as possible, not having any war targets or pirates to worry about nor carrying too many expensive modules, you can focus exclusively on cutting down the align time and increasing warp speed.
 
 
 
Usually increasing warp speed tends to cut down on travel time the most, since you spend more time in warp than you do aligning. So if you're forced to choose between the two, it tends to be more beneficial to focus slightly more on increasing warp speed than reducing align time. Within reason of course, most of the time you can accomplish both. Depending on the ship you're moving, re-rigging your ship might not be a practical option and then the modules suggested will be your focus, as you can easily refit your lows, mids and highs before and after moving.
 
 
 
One of the major drawbacks of this style of fitting is it will reduce low slots that may be used for armor or structure tanking. Of particular interest are the astronautic rigs and nanofiber internal structures which will reduce the total armor and structure hit points respectively on a ship.
 
== Reducing align time ==
 
The align time of a ship is based on the ship's '''mass''' and '''agility''' as well as '''agility''' and '''inertia''' bonuses from '''skills''', '''modules''', '''rigs''' and '''implants'''. Bonuses relevant to align time are either referred to as '''agility''' (a positive value) or '''inertia''' (usually a negative value, unless referred to as ''"inertia modifier"'' then it's positive), which for all intents and purposes in EVE are the same.
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Skills}}'''</p>
 
Several skills affect your align time, starting with the most relevant skills:

While there are several modules that reduce inertia, some are stronger than others, leaving you with these modules as well as the one rig that helps reduce align time.

<references/>
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Implants}}'''</p>
 
There are also [[implants]] that help reduce your align time, such as the {{co|coral|Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering EM-7}} and the low- and mid-grade {{co|coral|Nomad}} set.
 
 
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Propulsion modules}}'''</p>
 
If your align time is high enough, there's also the option to use propulsion modules such as '''Afterburners''' (cycles as fast as 7,5 seconds) and '''Microwarpdrives''' (cycles in 10 seconds) to reduce your align time. By pulsing the module once (activating it and then immediately deactivating it), you can align in 7,5 - 10 seconds flat as long as you start your align from a standstill (like after you've jumped through a gate). This option is more suitable for larger, bulkier ships, that simply cannot drop their align time far enough to matter or for other reasons need their fitting room for other things. It will allow them to combine a decent align time with a proper tank, for example.
 
 
 
Using an afterburner in this fashion requires you to use a size-appropriate afterburner, 1MN for frigates, 10MN for cruisers, 100MN for battleships. Note that Capital ships such as the {{sh|Orca}} and {{sh|Bowhead}} can't align fast enough with undersized 100MN afterburners, but can still use undersized 500MN microwarpdrives for a 10 second align.
 
 
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Friendly webs}}'''</p>
 
Another option is to have a friend or an alt to web your ship as it starts aligning, dropping its maximum speed making it align almost instantaneously. This can be extremely useful for very slow aligning ships like [[freighter]]s. It does require some effort and planning however, as some gates are pretty large so the webbing ship needs to either be really fast to close the distance, or have a web range bonus like the {{sh|Hyena}} or {{sh|Cruor}}. You also need to either be in a corp with '''friendly fire''' enabled, or set up a friendly '''duel''' between you and your alt in order to safely be able to web yourself.
 
 
 
== Increasing warp speed ==
 
There are '''implants''', '''modules''' and one type of '''rig''' that can help boost your ship's warp speed.
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Modules & rigs}}'''</p>
 
When it comes to modules and rigs, there are three low slot modules and one rig that increases warp speed. The modules increase warp speed by raising the base AU/s warp speed by a fixed number, while the rig has a normal percentage-based bonus.

<references/>
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Implants}}'''</p>
 
There are also [[implants]] that help increase your warp speed, such as the {{co|coral|Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Warp Drive Speed WS-6}} and the Mid- and High-grade {{co|coral|Ascendancy}} set.
 
 
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Ships with a high native warp speed}}'''</p>
 
The fastest warping ship in the EVE Universe is the {{sh|Leopard}} (20 AU/s) followed by the [[Interceptors]] and [[Covert Ops]] frigates (8 AU/s base speed). There's also the {{sh|Dramiel}} (7,5 AU/s base speed) that thanks to having 3 rigs instead of just the 2 that the tech two frigates have, it can actually sport the highest possible warp speed amongst the frigates, clocking in at '''13 AU/s''' with 3 x {{co|coral|Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II}} rigs compared to the tech two frigates' '''12.2 AU/s'''. This is thanks to the {{icon|angel cartel|18}} [[Angel Cartel]] racial bonus to warp speed, which all Angel ships have.
 
 
 
Those speeds can then be further augmented by the above mentioned '''Ascendancies'''-implants, making it possible for the Leopard to reach a staggering '''32.4 AU/s''', the Dramiel to hit '''21,1 AU/s''' and Interceptors to hit '''19,7 AU/s'''. You could even take it further and sacrifice tank or align time to push even further with hyperspatial accelerators.
 
 
 
= Fitting enough tank not to be worth ganking =
 
If you're in high security space and not at war, the only real threat to your ship is suicide gankers. To remedy this, you can up your tank to the point where it's not worth ganking you for profit. This will drastically reduce the chance of someone bothering to destroy your ship.
 
 
 
Below are some examples of suitable modules to further your fitting goals.
 
 
 
== Improving your hull tank ==
 
Perhaps one of the easiest and least skill intensive ways to buff your tank is to simply add a {{co|coral|Damage Control II}} and try to increase your structure points as much as you can with {{co|coral|Reinforced Bulkhead II}} modules and {{co|coral|Transverse Bulkhead II}} rigs.
 
 
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Skills}}'''</p>
 
Only one skill improves your structure hit points, but another indirectly helps by allowing you to fit modules that improve structure hit points:

| style="padding:5px;" | {{sk|Hull Upgrades|IV}} enabled the use of the {{co|coral|Damage Control II}} and {{co|coral|Transverse Bulkhead II}} modules.
 
|}
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Modules & rigs}}'''</p>
 
The following modules and rigs help improve your structure hit points or resists:

| style="background-color:#111111; padding-top:0px; padding:0px;" | http://image.eveonline.com/Type/1335_32.png
 
| style="background-color:#222222; padding:4px;" | {{co|coral|Reinforced Bulkhead II}} (+25% structure hp, -11% cargo capacity, +5% agility)
 
|-

| style="background-color:#111111; padding-top:0px; padding:0px;" | http://image.eveonline.com/Type/33900_32.png
 
| style="background-color:#222222; padding:4px;" | {{co|coral|Transverse Bulkhead II}} (+25% structure hp, -10% cargo capacity)
 
|}
 
If you're fitting for a structure tank while simultaneously going for align time, it's usually worth avoiding the {{co|coral|Nanofiber Internal Structure II}} (since it reduces structure hit points) and favour the {{co|coral|Inertia Stabilizers II}} module instead.
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Implants}}'''</p>
 
There is also an [[implants|implant]] called {{co|coral|Inherent Implants 'Noble' Mechanic MC-8}} which further increases your hull hitpoints by up to 6% for the most expensive variant.
 
 
 
== Improving your armor tank ==
 
Fitting an armor tank can be a little bit more skill intensive, especially a passive resist setup since the efficiency of passive resist modules rely heavily on the armor compensation skills. A setup with active hardeners would potentially give you higher resists, but would take up too many modules leaving scarcely few slots for actual armor plates.
 
 
 
As such it might not be something you'll be doing as a young capsuleer, but for people with high armor support skills flying certain ships (with more armor than structure hit points) it might be slightly stronger than the structure approach mentioned above.
 
 
 
<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Skills}}'''</p>
 
There is one skill improving armor hit points directly:

<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Modules & rigs}}'''</p>
 
There are several modules either increasing the raw armor hit points or various armor resists:

<p style="font-size:115%;">'''{{co|white|Implants}}'''</p>
 
There are also [[implants]] that help increase your armour hit points, such as the {{co|coral|Inherent Implants 'Noble' Hull Upgrades HG-10}} and the {{co|coral|Genolution Core Augmentation CA-4}} implant as well as the Low-, Mid- and High-grade {{co|coral|Slave}} set.
 
 
 
== Improving your shield tank ==
 
The skills to use a proper tech two shield tank isn't quite as skill intensive as armour and since there aren't any passive omni tanked shield modules, you're often better off using active invulnerability fields. You can fit for anti-gank by using an invulnerability field as well as thermal and kinetic hardener or amplifier, since the strongest gankers are gallente in the current meta. Use the rest of the midslots for as many shield extenders as possible and an afterburner/microwarpdrive to cut then align time down.
 
 
 
One of the great pros of shield tanking is that low slots remain free which allows you to fit for speed, cargo or another layer of tank depending on your preference and needs.

There are also [[implants]] that help increase your shield hit points, such as the {{co|coral|Zainou 'Gnome' Shield Management SM-7}} and the {{co|coral|
 
Genolution Core Augmentation CA-3}} implant as well as the Low-, Mid- and High-grade {{co|coral|Crystal}} set.
 
 
 
== Reducing inflated align times ==
 
Most of the armor and structure tanking modules increase your align time, making you turn and handle like a brick with align times pushing 15+ seconds. See [[Travel_fits#Propulsion modules|propulsion modules]] and [[Travel_fits#Friendly webs|friendly webs]] above for more information on how to mitigate this without sacrificing too much of your tank.
 
 
 
= Fitting for safe travel in hostile space =
 
This method relies on fitting an '''Improved Cloaking Device II''' and a '''microwarpdrive''' to allow you to be cloaked while aligning, minimizing the time you're actually visible on grid. This is commonly referred to as the '''MWD + cloak trick''', see [[cloak trick]] or [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVi1CWcbSUE Seamus Donohue's video] for more information.
 
 
 
In order to use the microwarpdrive and cloak you'll need to train {{sk|High Speed Maneuvering|III|mult=yes|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Cloaking|III|mult=yes|icon=yes}} and use the appropriately sized microwarpdrive for your ship class. Frigates use the 5MN-variant, cruisers the 50MN-variant and battleships the 500MN-variant. While there are 50,000MN-variants for capital ships, certain ships like [[Orca]]s and [[Bowhead]]s can only fit "undersized" 500MN Microwarpdrives due to powergrid restrictions. As such they are limited to using them only as a means to align in 10 seconds flat (see above). They cannot combine their microwarpdrive with a cloak to do this trick, as they will simply not be able to accelerate fast enough.
 
 
 
The main risk of this method is messing up the cloak and getting locked before you manage to get your cloak up, which would make it impossible for you to cloak up. It's also possible for people to burn towards your location and decloak you before you've managed to align. Having a '''Warp Core Stabilizer I''' or two might save you from a lone enemy with just a long point, but for that to be useful you'll need to be able to warp away before anyone else shows up with a second or third point, or a scram.
 
 
 
= Using dedicated ships for moving around =
 
If you're not bound to a specific ship but can setup dedicated ships for flying back and forth in the universe, you got plenty of options that can be either faster, safer, more convenient or just cheaper. This is very convenient if you have ships staged in two or more different regions or areas in space, as hopping into a shuttle or an interceptor will quickly and effortlessly allow you to move between them.
 
 
 
Below are a few examples of ships that can be used.
 
 
 
== Shuttles ==
 
{{alpha}}
 
Shuttles are dirt cheap and are often ignored by most in high security space. This can be a cheap option for new players to move around even if they are at war. Even if they are caught, as long as they don't have too many expensive implants, they potentially risk but a shuttle and a pod. This option is slightly less useful in low and null security space, due to its paper tank and the ease of simply smartbombing you as you approach the gate ... picking off both you and your pod in one fell swoop. Shuttles aren't always available at decent prices as well, but can easily be stockpiled or even built if you regularly need to use them.
 
 
 
Getting the shuttle to less than two second align time only requires {{sk|Navigation|II|mult=yes|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|III|mult=yes|icon=yes}}, something new players start with already.
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
| style="background-color:#111111; padding:0px;" | [[image:Gallente_Shuttle.jpg|128px|Gallente Shuttle]]
 
| style="background-color:#222222;" | {{icon|warp speed|24|Warp speed}} 5 AU/s warp speed.<br>{{icon|inertia|24|Align time}} < 2 sec align time<br>{{icon|hull|24|Effective hit points}} Up to 786 effective hit points.<br>{{icon|velocity|24|Velocity}} Up to 625 m/s speed<br>{{icon|capacity|24|Cargo capacity}} 10 m3 cargo capacity.
 
|}
 
For the rich, using the [[Leopard]] you'll improve warp speed to{{icon|warp speed|24|Warp speed}}'''20 AU/s''' warp speed, significantly improving your mileage.
 
 
 
== Frigates ==
 
{{alpha}}
 
While the travelceptor-variant below is vastly superior to moving about safely and quickly, there are low skilled options such as a travel-fit [[Atron]]. It doesn't have the bubble immunity of an interceptor, but it's a nice option for low skilled pilots in high security space to move around in something with a bit more effective hit points, speed and cargo space (compared to a simple shuttle).
 
 
 
This fit only requires you to train a {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|III|mult=yes|icon=yes}} and if you don't already have it, {{sk|Gallente Frigate|I|mult=yes|icon=yes}} which in total is less than 9 hours worth of training. This makes it a very accessible method of moving around, until you can fly the more effective interceptors.

== Fleet Interceptors ==
 
{{omega}}
 
A very common method of travelling is to use a [[Interceptor|fleet interceptor]], fit to align in less than two seconds with hyperspatial rigs to improve its already impressive warp speed. With a proper fit you can even tank it enough to survive a few smartbombs, making it a favourite for capsuleers moving vast distances, especially in low- and null security space where the innate fleet interceptor immunity to non-target interdiction means that it can fly right through and ignore any type of warp bubbles.
 
 
 
Due to fitting limitations the {{sh|Crow}} is just not recommended (due to having too few low slots), so the recommended fits will only feature the {{sh|Ares}}, {{sh|Malediction}} and {{sh|Stiletto}}. The Stiletto requires {{sk|Spaceship Command|IV|icon=yes}} to keep align time under 2 seconds and the Ares and Malediction both need {{sk|Power Grid Management|V|icon=yes}} and {{sk|Shield Upgrades|V|icon=yes}} to fit the second shield extender.

== Hecate ==
 
{{omega}}
 
For really paranoid capsuleers moving about in the high or low security space of New Eden, there's the [[Hecate]] which can sport a ''"true insta-warper"'' fit with a < 1 second align time. This is in part due to the low '''innate agility''' of the Hecate as well as the agility-bonused tactical '''propulsion mode''' and adequate low slots. It obviously lacks the bubble-immunity and speed of the travelceptor, but has other benefits like literally being uncatchable as well as higher cargo hold capacity.
 
 
 
In order to achieve the low align time you'll need {{sk|Spaceship Command|V|mult=yes|icon=yes}}, {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|V|mult=yes|icon=yes}} as well as {{sk|Cybernetics|III|mult=yes|icon=yes}} for the implant.

Regular covert ops ships are often favoured for travel via wormholes, given the fickle nature of wormholes, the value of remaining unseen and the ability to scan down a new ''"door"'' should the old one close on you.
