Warp speed or agility?

Agility rigs, unless you have 3-4 istabs already
If you have the istabs, fit the warp speed rig, cause the stacking penalty on the istabs will make the agility rigs basically useless

There is only ONE instance where you would want to fit the warp speed rigs, ever. If you plan on never being in combat and never going into null, but need to travel across large amounts of high sec on a regular basis you will want to build a fast interceptor to cut down on travel time. I have one such ship and it is the only ship i have ever fit these rigs too and the is obviously not built to pvp.

Having tested this, as a basis this fit will get you about 2-4 systems ahead of a shuttle, over 20 systems, if both pilots are manually flying as fast as they can. Refit to Overdrive Injectors in place of I-Stabs for a fast autopiloter. But as was mentioned before, this is the ONLY time you will ever fit warp speed rigs.

No, I can't use an interceptor, not enough cargo capacity. But this is actually what I am doing (travel across large amounts of high sec on a regular basis). I'm asking because I'm doing high level distribution missions + doing trade in an industrial ship.

What's wrong with using this in null? Add an improved cloak to a highslot and you can run almost any gatecamp, and the ones you can't run you can easily crash back to gate.

Bumping as this is related to the in-warp acceleration/deceleration problem.

So, if I want to rig up a ship for as fast travel from system to system (no autopiloting) as possible, which is the better? Hyperspatial Velocity Optimizer (warp speed) or Low Friction Nozzle Joints (agility)?

Does agility affect warp initiation too, or is it just alignment?

Thanks in advance, guys! Smile


Hyperspacial Velocity Optimizer hands down. You can you low slots for your agility.

Warp speed increase is good if you're traveling back and forth in 15+ jump paths.

If you're just talking about 1-5 jumps to get to missions or shuttle between systems when hunting for PvP in lowsec, agility is preferable.

Does agility impact how quickly your ship can accelerate to max speed? Or is it just for align time?


There's no difference in EVE. EVE only cares about the velocity vector of the ship; the alignment of the ships model is merely derived from the velocity vector.

Agility is a measure for how quickly the ships velocity vector can change.
