Gotta go fast! Check out all the details behind the warp speed changes coming in EVE Online: Rubicon on November 19th here.

Something for you graph people to analyse. Enjoy!

Quote:
For the deceleration phase, k is equal to the ship’s maximum warp speed (in AU/s) divided by 3, but with a maximum value of 2. This maximum is in place to prevent ships with excessively high warp speeds from decelerating out of warp so quickly that they transition from "in warp, many AU away" to "next to your battleship and firing up tackle" in less time than the server, client and player can reasonably handle.

Genuine thanks for this.

The deceleration on sisi still feels pretty slow, and takes a good chunk of short warps. Can the cap be raised slightly, to 3 or 3.5?


Also have you considered giving Warp Core Stabilisers a small bonus to warp speed? Between 1-4% depending on meta level would be reasonable.

No, you are getting many rounds bought for you at FF. Great changes!

You should add a short clip of the interceptor warping from yesterday's stream to the blog.

Does the Orca fall under the CAPS baseline then? I don't see it specifically listed.

This is one of my all-time favorite changes, making the various ship sizes feel different in warp as well as normal space is wonderful. It genuinely makes me want to wring the most out of smaller ships vs. just "going big or going home".

The Orca will warp at 2 AU/s - so the same as a battleship after Rubicon

"Acceleration takes almost 9 seconds, it then spends another 9 seconds cruising at 3 AU/s. Finally it spends nearly 22 seconds decelerating."

Good thing we don't have to worry about brake pads in space...

So will the anchoring skill now be required to fly a freighter?

Wow, freighters were already quite slow...

I understand the need for this change, but adding an average of 25 seconds per warp for them is quite huge...

When are we going to see some new freighter class? (a faster version, and a stronger version would be nice)

Well if consider the difference in time in warp versus cargohold, between freighter and other classes, it makes more sense now.

There are TII freighters already which are both faster and more durable.

We've been needing this change for years. Good job!
