This has been something that has bugged me for a while about the warp code. 8 pages of math later, and we have something that I think is going to be much more fun all around.

Loving these changes - I think interceptors will become one of my new fav ships again (I haven't flown them since moving to lowsec).

I wouldn't normally in a devthread but I think it deserves a gif

What about the spin up to warp speed, is that the same?

Looks like rorquals get a nerf on warps too, as if logistics needed more pain.

Oh, and fix the recon cap usage on warps while you're at it.

4 warps for a single system in a recon is a joke.

have you considered these changes with regard to bombing much?

Have you considered possibly upping the warp speeds of Attack Frigates/Cruisers/Battleships slightly compared to their counterparts in class to reflect their nature better? Or was this considered perhaps too favorable to them?

Presumably groups will still continue to warp at the speed of the slowest ship in the group?

Yes, that will still work the same way

Lol The average time it takes me to warp from gate to your anomaly just got lowered from 30s to 11s. Lol

Now, if we could only get a 5-10s delay to "load grid" when entering a system before seeing & showing up in local, I'll never complain about local being used as an intel system again!

Are the charts measured in seconds? Does this mean that my MWDing Crusader will beat a warping freighter in the 150-km sprint?

Will it include acceleration and deceleration?

i see the indy has a warp speed multiper to 3, but i remember the base warp speed of indy is 4.5 AU/s

is that a typo?

Why are Freighters becoming faster?

They're getting faster for long warps, slower for short warps. We didn't want to have speeds too low with the new system, as it would have been easy for the slowest ships to become prohibitive.

As somebody whose alt spends a lot of time in freighters, thanks for this.

It all depends on what your average warp length is. I personally feel that freighters should align like pigs and warp faster than they do. These are ships that spend most of their in-space time in warp, so it only makes sense they would be engineered to be good at it.

can we add a flash warp effect when warps start ala star trek style? XD!

How will this affect faction warfare complexes? If you are inside a complex you get a certain amount of warning (due to warp deceleration) before a ship arrives in a complex. In order to get the same amount of warning we will have to click on the d-scan button every 4 seconds if interceptors might be around. Is this an intended effect? And if so, can we have a key-bind for d-scan because my RSI fingers can't handle that amount of mouse clicking!

It seems that the biggest effect of this change will be to make it easier for players to sneak up on others unexpectedly. I could see how this could improve gameplay (for the aggressors at least). But I am a bit concerned at the increasing requirement for d-scanning to stay safe. Clicking d-scan repeatedly I find to be one of the less enjoyable mechanics in EVE.

Are there any changes planned to d-scan in the Rubicon expansion?

And suddenly, Minmatar highsec loses its title as the best place to take your mid-warp bathroom breaks.
