With the warp speed changes I assume that interceptors are now the fastest way to get from one end of the system to another. What about T1 ships? Will a frigate with warp speed rigs outperform a shuttle?

Here is my current ship:

[Atron, speed]
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II
Overdrive Injector System II

Upgraded 1MN Microwarpdrive I
Medium Shield Extender I
EM Ward Amplifier I

[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]
[empty high slot]

Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I
Small Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer I

goes 4.9k with the mwd, has a 4.1s align time and 8.6 AU warp speed

You'll be faster with nanos or inertia stabs than overdrives.

I have a stilleto with 2 warp rigs that gets 11,52 au warp.. does the job

I'm pretty sure that for most routes a JDC V carrier will get you from A to B the fastest.

This fit is quite good. Don't think it gets any better, only possibly with a t1 probing frigate (as covops warp fast) but honestly dunno.

2x nanofiber 1x overdrive would be a good medium between afk / online travel but other than that don't see much room for improvement. Cloak in a highslot.

This part hints me that OP isn't going to AFK autopilot the ship. If that's the case, overdrives are pointless, get inertia stabs instead. For non-hisec though I'd go with nanos.

Future of T3 cruisers - multi-tool they aspired to be instead of sledgehammer they have become

It's meant for semi afk autopilot. Basically I set the autopilot and if I happen to be looking at that account and moving towards the stargate I'll activate the mwd.

Thanks! I'll probably try that out.

Still use shuttles personally, allows me to get from A to B, trash the shuttle and go and do whatever I want. Then I can use disposable shuttles again when travelling to different locations/jump cloning etc.

But as far as getting from A to B as fast as possible in high sec, an interceptor would be best, because of warp changes. Heck, even the best in null, with their bubble immunity.
