Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Looks like I got quite a few likes out of this suggestion in another thread so here goes...

The suggestion is simple. Once your ship enters warp do you notice that it takes some time to get to full warp speed? Yeah, I want the time that takes reduced significantly. Also, do you notice that when exiting warp it takes quite a long time to decelerate to a full stop? Yeah, I want the time that takes to be reduced significantly too.

I can't see why we currently need this time to accelerate and decelerate while still in warp. I think as soon as you are in warp you should be to full speed in a time that the server can reasonably handle (this is probably the main issue) and when exiting warp you should be to a full stop in a time that the server can reasonably handle (considering this takes so much longer than accelerating I would say this is where the server has the biggest issue).

This suggestion is something that helps pretty much everyone throughout EVE. This should help ships with faster warp speeds actually have an advantage against slower ships in smaller solar systems. Ever been in an interceptor in a small solar system and have a cruiser land only 2 or 3 seconds after you when your warp speed would suggest a 20 to 30 second advantage, yeah that's annoying.

So, this helps just about everyone and gives faster warping ships a bigger edge on their slower opponents.

What say you fellow capsuleers?

EDIT: Hey, maybe some +1's or something will get CCP to touch the big bad code. Come on guys, we know just about everyone who understands the concept wants it. Maybe if we give this a good amount of attention CCP will actually consider doing it.

I'm sad to say I brought the same thing up a year ago and got blue post basically saying, yeah we need to do that but we can't without a ton of work. Since its a super old part of the game.

Hope that makes you feel a little better. It's something like what 1 second less warp time if your shiphas 8 times faster warp speed

Warp acceleration (and ships with varying maximum velocities in warp) are a little fundamental to balance for highly mobile battles.

You don't only fleet warp during battles, you know. Only the primary bulk of the fleet does, support is often doing its own thing at all times.

Indeed, and all of this has little to do with those warping solo throughout all of New Eden.

Here you go, an entire thread of +1's
Feel free to bump it you might get a blue post

I agree. We spend so much time doing acceleration/deceleration that the actual ship's warp speed becomes irrelevant. The Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer rigs are pretty much useless.

I think if you are in the same warp tunnel as an enemy, we should be allowed to unload the broad side cannons into them during the warp. See who drops out of ward in one piece.

I don't know how practical it would be to code since it so rarely happens, but it would make for some fun and interesting situations.
