EVE General Discussion

If the race occured over multiple jumps then it's not a benchmark and a .04 variable in au won't matter. Align times will play far more in to the total time of a 6 jump race. So if one person has Capital 5 and the other has base freighter capital 1 the Capital 5 wins.

Ioci has 5's in all nav skills, capital 5 and none of my other chars keep up to her no matter what they fly. I've seen me multi jump clients where Ioci was in a Geddon and Skydell was in a Drake and Ioci gets there first.

None of it helps much in explaining optical displacements due to desync but I won't go on emorant and assume it's killing EVE. I doubt it is.

Still, though, those implants aren't really meant to be used in freighters i reckon... I asure you that they affect ships such as the covops hehe

File a bug report

Interestingly enough on my Fitting screen my warp speed shows as 0.9 AU/s.

It would. Fitting only has one decimal place.

This is nothing to do with rounding.

OP needs to use moveme on sisi to go to somewhere like X-7OMU which has a 270AU (IIRC) warp gate to gate. If you come out of that warp at the same time as other pilot then report it.

Edit - for a 270 AU warp you should come out 8.3 AU apart; for a 90AU warp it'd be 2.7AU but 2.7AU is (for sure) inside the same "warp grid".

Siigari and I have not had a chance to test on sisi over a really long warp yet. However, something is wrong whether it's a display error, rounding problem, or implants just not working.

I recently upgraded from the HY-2 to the HY-2.5 and when I hover the mouse over my speed indicator during warp, it still says I am only doing 0.80 au sec. The fitting window says 0.9 au and show info tab says 0.89 au.

Several factors:
* align time: Anshar 25.9s versus Nomad's 22.6s assuming skills at V.
* warp speed increases exponentially until you hit your max warp speed. So you're both hitting your max warp speed at the same time.
* long acceleration and deceleration times which cuts into your .03 speed advantage.
* server has a 1 second "heartbeat", meaning client input is gathered and sent to the server every second.
* random lag, especially in how long it takes to jump and then load a new system
* human reaction time

End result is that your .03 speed advantage over 60 seconds at max warp speed produces a 1.8 second time advantage which isn't significant enough to overcome the other factors.

We understand all of your previous criteria. However, we are still trying to determine exactly what our max speed is as we have three different in-game graphics telling us three different numbers. If it rounds down, in all cases, two decimal points, then some of these higher-end implants are not worth the price to someone with max skills.

I have max. navigation and max. related ship skills for the two ships in question and I just upgraded from 5% to 6% warp speed hardwirings yet my max speed, as shown by hovering over the HUD area, shows the same number whether I have a 4%, 5%, or 6% hardwiring plugged in. However, in show info for the ship and on the fitting screen, I show a much higher warp speed.

For example, as stated in my previous message, with 6% warp speed hardwiring and max. skills I show a max warp speed of 0.9 au on the fitting screen, 0.89 in the show info tab when I right click on the ship, but only 0.80 au when I hover over the "speedometer" on the HUD during a long warp. Based on actual mathematical calculations, which also matches EFT, my actual warp speed *should* be 0.885 au. Based on the math, I understand how the show info tab and in-game fitting tab is rounding to the numbers they show. However, my issue is with the HUD telling me .80 max. au. If the game is truly rounding down all the way from 0.89 to 0.80 - CCP needs to fix this or give me my money back on all these exotic hardwirings that don't work as advertised.

What I am hoping is going on is a simple display error and I that I am actually going faster than what the HUD says. Because, over a long haul, say 40 high-sec jumps, a difference of 0.09 au can make a big difference. When pushing freight, I am not a casual AFK freighter pilot, I want to get the jobs done as fast as possible that is why I invested my skills and isk to maximize my speed and agility with these ships. I certainly don't mind the isk investment if they are working correctly.

In other events, I recently won a freighter race, with my alt in question, sponsored by SOMER.Blink, so maybe they are working as intended. Siigari, we really need to get on SISI sometime to do some real testing.

It does, but you have to be in space and have selected show info by right clicking on your ship in space. See my screenshot, it says 0.89 but the HUD says only 0.80 au. I am hoping show info is legit and the actual speed I am doing and not 0.80 as it says 0.80 in the HUD no matter which hardwirings I plug in.

Well, as we've said since the beginning, our race wasn't a true race.. it was impromptu as he started his trip a minute before me me and we were like "I wonder if I can catch up to you" which I did and then passed him ultimately before we met the destination.

We have the same skills but fly different ships so I align slightly faster to begin with. I know this can make a lot of difference it was just amazing at how fast I caught up to him since he, supposedly, warped faster than me at the time.

My only question is, how fast am I actually warping if three different interfaces are giving me three different speeds. Show info and the fitting screen are both close enough that I can accept either and will just assume 0.89 as my manual math comes to 0.885. However, the HUD still has me bewildered as it only reads 0.80. I am hoping the HUD is just bugged.
