Machariel and warp/acceleration bonus

Everyone know/listen that Mach is awesome in Pve, because of:
50% bonus to warp speed and warp acceleration.

So we decide to check it. We use few systems, main difference is that one system was more than 100ae
Ship used to compare: Nightmare, Rattlesnake, some Navy and T1 BS. All ships warp to same mission.

Pure numbers (to mission and back to station):
small system:
mission in system - 15-20 sec.
mission in next system - up to 45 sec.

big system:
mission in system - 45-50 sec
mission in next system - up to 2minute

But, if you fit 2 rigs (hyperstatial velosity optimazer and polycarbon engine housing) difference is almost zero in both systems. Few seconds.

If Mach fit those 2 rigs his bonus became fantastic:
small system:
mission in system - 25-35 sec
mission in next system - up to 2 minutes

big system:
mission in system - up to 3 minutes
mission in next system - up to 6 minutes

intresting discovery - T1 BS has better agility than Navy/Pirate BS

The big difference is that the Mach has that speed boost by default, while on all other BS, you have to waste its rig slots to try and catch up.

Actually, Mach has same agility (with bonus) as other Pirate/Navy BS. You must have navigations skills in 5, or in small systems like 20-40 ae his bonus useless. Only on long distance he is superior.

Sorry, I'm trying to understand your data, but it doesn't seem right.

If I'm reading it correctly, it looks like with the rigs, the Mach is actually going slower. (?)

What am I not seeing? (hope my age issue is kicking in.)

Also, since I have been involved with some time trials, I'd thought I'd put my two Tengus to work.

One has 3 hyper veloc rigs, the other does not.

In going from the station to a gate, 31.9 AU away, the Tengu without rigs averages 30.25s. The Tengu with the rigs averages 25.5s. A difference of 4.47s.

The Tengu with the rigs hits 9.32 AU/s; the Tengu without rigs does 5.36 AU/s.

In going from a station to a gate that is 54.9 AU away, the Tengu with out rigs averages 34.5s. The Tengu with the rigs averages 26.4s. A difference of 8.1s.

So obviously with rigs the ship will go faster. The longer the distance, the greater the difference of time. 9.32 AU/s to 5.32AU/s.

But in any instance, the Mach should have better numbers than any other BS. The longer the distance the greater the difference of time of the comparisons.

So with your data, as I said previously, I'm not sure what you are trying to say.
