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

But those don't have the same large capacity! Wehhhh Q_Q /Sarcasm

I flew around a system in a frigate on the test server somewhat recently, OH MY FAST!!!! I'm thinking some warps might even be too fast. can't wait to see what happens once it goes live.

if im reading that big colorful diagram rightly, freighters will actually be faster over midrange to long warps, but slower on short, thats not too bad i guess, but anoying if you operate in small 30au or less systems

t1 BS and bc's have been slowed down across the board, long systems are going to be awesome fun for incursion ppl now, afk bio's every warp lol.

though i kinda want to train to fly an interceptor now, just to lol at the instawarp across entire systems

OMG! MATH! GRAPHS! SPREADSHEETS!

CCP Masterplan's masterpiece! Big smile

Now if CCP Masterplan and CCP Punkturis co-authored a dev blog for added elements:
* Usage of pink.
* Watermark.
* Hand-drawn art.
That would be the best dev blog ever!

Regardless, thanks CCP Masterplan for a peek behind the curtain.

BS are a bit slower now, but not unreasonably so... at least not nearly as much as I originally thought.

I'm am firmly in favor of this, but the more oblivious members of the community are going to be screaming about this on patch day. Most likely the first time they see a stranger enter system and get landed on by a ceptor before they have fully aligned to warp out.

This, to me, just reinforces the value of working with others... even if busy doing your own thing you can still pay attention to scouts/intel channels, so my sympathy will be limited.

Granted it's not an exciting fantasy, but I've been fantasizing about greater differentiation in warp speed for so long!

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


This would be very cool. Also I believe I've encountered the idea of MWD giving slight bonus to warp speed.

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?


+1

In the first Version the deceleration was clearly too fast. But I also think that Inteceptors are now way too slow compared to there accelearation warping with fast Ships feels weird. It's like acelarating with a sportscar and decelaritng with a cargo train.

which required 6b and a whole lot of other skill useless to high-sec traveling.

JF are not faster in warp than freighter, they only align faster.

of course, the capacity would be lower.

Just like the range of industrials right now, each would have their own specialisation

This is a really good dev blog. More numbers and formulas in future please.

It sounds like you just changed a number from 3 to shipWarpSpeed, and added the decelleration speed limit. Is that all there was to it or were there some other behind-the-scenes changes to make this work?

That GIF just costs CCP the entire programming and graphics budget for the year.

Hundreds of man hours went into creating this work of art....

Sorry folks, no high definition graphics this year :-(

Yaay!!!!
