I did a little experiment with two cov ops frigates, one fitted with two Hyperspacial Velocity Opimisers giving it a warp speed of 19.5
The unmodified frigate had a warp speed of 13.5

I tried warping both ships at the same time to the same destination, the ships were NOT fleeted. No matter how far we warped both ships arrived at the same time.

When I set up ships in either EveHQ or EFT I never get the same numbers in Eve. They are always lower in Eve, less cap, less EHP etc. Anyone else getting this?

Are you using the latest versions of said programs? Were the warp distances long enough to get up to full speed?

The problem is likely to be the warp distance being too short.

Once a ship is in warp then they all accelerate/decelerate at the same rate.

It would be nice if your 19.5AU frigate got to that speed in the same time it takes the 13.5AU one to max out, but that's not the way it works.

Very high warp speeds like you have with the 19.5AU ship are only useful on warp distances well over 100AU, more likely 200AU. There are very few systems that large.

Thanks for the replies, I think I have the latest versions (I dl'ed EFT when I found EveHQ was giving different results from Eve) They are set to auto update. I'll have a look to make sure.

Might have a look for a 200 AU system if I can find one nearby

This is of course due to the fact that ships take so long to accelerate to full speed in-warp and exit warp.

I'm going to use the search function to bump all related threads. I see this as something in need of attention.
