It does require some effort and planning, however, as some gates are pretty large, so the webbing ship needs to either be really fast to close the distance, or have a web range bonus like the Hyena or Cruor. This can be extremely useful for very slow aligning ships like freighters. Note that Capital ships such as the Orca and Bowhead can't align fast enough with undersized 100MN afterburners, but can still use undersized 500MN MWDs for a 10-second align.Īnother option is to have a friend or an alt to web your ship as it starts aligning, dropping its maximum speed and making it align almost instantaneously. Using an afterburner in this fashion requires you to use a size-appropriate afterburner, 1MN for frigates, 10MN for cruisers, 100MN for battleships. This can allow them to combine a decent align time with a proper tank, for example. This option is more suitable for larger, bulkier ships that simply cannot drop their align time far enough to matter, or for other reasons need their fitting room for other things.

By pulsing the module once (activating it and then immediately deactivating it), you can align in 7.5–10 seconds flat as long as you start your align from a standstill (as when you've just jumped through a gate). If your align time is high enough, there's also the option to use propulsion modules such as Afterburners (cycles as fast as 7.5 seconds) and Microwarpdrives (cycles in 10 seconds) to reduce your align time.

^ The armor hit point penalty of Astronautic Rigs can be reduced by training the Astronautics Rigging ( 3x) skill.įor pilots who are constantly concerned with alignment time, there are also implants that help reduce your align time, such as the Eifyr and Co.

The align time of a ship is based on the ship's mass and agility as well as agility and inertia bonuses from skills, modules, rigs and implants. Reducing the align time of a ship to less than 2 seconds enables it to 'insta-align' and avoid being tackled in most circumstances bubbles in nullsec space will still prevent warp, and ships boosted to very high sensor strengths to achieve 'insta-lock' might still catch such a ship, as at sub-two-second intervals the exact outcome begins to depend on the internet connections of the target and attacker, and on server ticks rather than normal time. In particular, astronautic rigs and Nanofiber Internal Structures will reduce, respectively, the total armor and structure hit points on a ship. One of the major drawbacks of this style of fitting is that it reduces low slots that may be used for armor or structure tanking. Depending on the ship you're moving, re-rigging your ship might not be a practical option and then the modules suggested will be your focus, as you can easily refit your lows, mids and highs before and after moving. Within reason, most of the time you can improve both. So if you're forced to choose between the two, it tends to be more beneficial to focus slightly more on increasing warp speed than reducing align time. Usually increasing warp speed tends to cut down on travel time the most, since you spend more time in warp than you do aligning. This entails cutting down the 'align time'-that is, the time it takes your ship to align to its warp target and enter warp-and increasing warp speed itself. If your only concern is to get to your destination as fast as possible, not having any war targets or pirates to worry about nor carrying too many expensive modules, you can focus exclusively on moving quickly.

This fit is the Drake at its most basic, as you use it and learn the ins and outs you can switch mods to add a prop or more damage or more tank.

Heavy Missile Launcher II, Scourge Fury Heavy MissileĪdd drones and switch hardners to taste. The Drake is one of the best pve ships and I recommend it for most mid level pve.
