MWD modifying Warp Speed and Acceleration

Just had an idea when contemplating the upcoming changes to warp speed and acceleration with Rubicon -

What if the MWD modules provided a small bonus to warp speed or warp acceleration?

It might make the difference in some cases (like nano roams), allowing escape from other ships/fleets that aren't built to be as maneuverable. Of course it could still be caught by interceptors and frigates, but a subtle increase to warp speed would make ships that have been purpose built to be maneuverable, able to be more maneuverable especially compared to other ships of the same class.

Tbh, I haven't thought out all the implication of what this would affect, but until I've come to a conclusion I'd like to hear your ideas!

Already does if you know how to milk the MWD on anything BC and larger

Yup, Having your Orca align in 10 seconds is nice.

Lowering the average to make you look better since 2012.

I was referring to while in warp actually increasing the AU/s value.

MWDs are already superior to afterburners in all but a handful of situations. I don't think we need to add "warps faster" to the list.
