EVE New Citizens Q&A

I have never found there to be any measurable difference using this on most ships, however what is measurable to me may be different that what is measurable to you so I suggest you go out and test it for yourself to see if the minimal time savings is worth it.

There are significantly better ways to decrease your align time but which ones may be useful for you depends on what you are doing and teh ship you are flying.

The best way to minimize time to warp is to use a character on a second account and have them web you into warp. A web applied to a ship does not reduce the rate it accelerates, however because it reduces the ships maximum speed and warp is based on max speed this can significantly reduce the time to warp.

If time to warp is important then perhaps a different ship is a better plan but again that depends on your use so knowingmore about what ship and what you are doing with it would be helpful.

Bear in mind that when you initiate warp, your ship is attempting to align itself. So there is no need to manually order your ship to align.

That said, the MWD-warp trick typically only works with larger, slower, bulkier ship. We are talking ships like battlecruisers, battleships, industrial/transport ships... things like that.
And, at most, the trick will only reduce the time to warp to 10 seconds.

If you wish to warp faster in a bulky ship, you will need assistance from a friend with 2 stasis webifiers.

Many ships will warp with 1 pulse of the afterburner; 7.5-10 seconds depending on your skill level. This only helps if the normal align time is greater than the AB cycle time - same is true for MWD but there, you can't reduce the cycle time - always 10 seconds.

This works well for slow aligning ships - deep space transport or Orca but is not effective for frigates or other small ships.

It works because you warp at 75% of top speed and top speed drops significantly when the propulsion module cycle ends.
There is no "trick" procedure - simply click jump and then pulse the AB on and off. You will warp when the cycle ends.

There is also a MWD cloak trick (doesn't work with AB) which allows you to align while cloaked. The process is a bit more complex: http://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Cloak_Trick

A Power Reactor in a low slot and no shield extenders will allow you to fit a 500mn MWD. Pulse it once as soon as you initiate warp and you will warp in 10 seconds.

For tank... use Transverse Rigs, a Damage Control, and 3 Adaptive Shield Hardeners. More than enough to dissuade a casual gank attempt.

Ok. Thanks for all the answers. From what I've understand it is not possible to make my Viator faster warping. The statement that you can skip the align to order by directly using warp to. goes into the same direction. So I will remove any propulsion eqippment from my Viator.

The current Fitting is:

High SLot

Cover Ops Cloaking Device II
Core Probe Lancher II

Medium Slots
?

Low Slots
Intertial Stabilizer II
Intertial Stabilizer II
Warp Core StabilizerII

Rig Slot
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II
Medium Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer II

I want to go to low and null sec for PI

What fitting whould you suggest? Mainly for Medium Slots?

But this decreases the agility, correct?

Warp disruption devices?

Does one Warp Core Stabilizer help here?

If you use a Blockade Runner in nullsec you should always fit a MWD to burn out of bubbles or give you options if you land in a gate camp. In highsec it makes more sense to fit a buffer tank to survive an alpha shot if someone decides to play "BR Roulette". MWD only affects mass if it is running.

When activated, yes. It will become harder to turn. But the speed increase is more than whorthwhile when you are trying to escape a bad situation.

Warp Scramblers (short range) and Focused Warp Disruption Generators (Heavy Interdictor ships) will shut off a MWD along with your warp drive.
Warp Disruptors (long range) and Warp bubbles will only affect your warp drive.

A Warp Core Stab is a low slot module. It may save you today or tomorrow, but never again after that.

There can be times where no matter how hard you try to do everything correctly you still get caught. A prop mod is useful in those situations for getting you back to the gate fast.

Anyone who used any aggressive modules on you like warp disruptors or scrams or any dps application, Ewar, etc... will have a one minute timer that prevents them from docking or using a gate. If you can burn back to the gate and jump they are prevented from following you through for one minute. This gets you a second chance to get away and this time only the members of the fleet that followed you through can attempt to point you and even they have lost the benefit of being any preparation that they made for the camp on the other side of the gate.

I typically fit an AB to my "runner" ships just because I know it will always work unlike the MWD which can be shut off by a scram. This all comes down to personal choice and stylistic considerations as there is no "right way" for anything in Eve.

Also keep in mind that the best way to get past a gate camp is to not run into it in the first place. So an ounce of recon is worth a pound of GTFO assistance.
