Interceptors have the very important bonus of not being affected by warp disruption bubbles. Taxis are interceptors (Tech 2 Frigates) capables of insta-warp. Agility is used in the show info of some modules as a way to express a reduction of the inertia modifier, as it is better if smaller. Note: Agility and Inertia Modifier are two names for the same ship attribute. Depending on your skills, you might want to focus on tackle frigates (those who have a role bonus to capacitor consumption of tackle modules) as they have a higher-than-average agility. Most T1 Frigates are capables of Insta-Warp. The most relevant modules for an insta-warp ship are the Inertia Stabilizers in Low Slot, and the " Nozzle Joints" Rigs. To know the align time of a ship, third party fitting tools are required, unless you decide to use the upcoming beta fitting window, which displays the align time. Such attributes are the Inertia Modifier and the Mass. To fit an insta-warp ship, it is important to focus on attributes influencing the aligh time. Therefore, insta-warp ships can very often travel from gate to gate without risks of being attacked. Most ships, including "insta-lockers", cannot lock and point in less than two seconds. Therefore, for all intents and purposes, the align time is effectively rounded up when considering a 0% starting speed scenario. But that's not a scenario we will cover in this guide.īack on track, a ship with an align time of 2.01s will however have to wait for the next server tick to enter warp, and will therefore enter warp in 3 seconds. Of course, if both ships have a sideway speed of sorts, the ship will the smallest align time will recover from this sideway speed faster, and may enter warp one second faster than the other ship. A ship with an align time of 1.73s will not enter warp faster than a 1.99s ship. In that case, it is important to understand that the server will not care of how much time before the server tick you were ready to warp. If the ship aligns under two seconds, it will have all its warp prerequisites before the second server tick (when the server is checking), and so when the server is checking for the second time, the ship will enter warp, in precisely 2 seconds. To put it simply, to see if a ship is allowed to enter warp, the server will check every second if said ship is ticking all the boxes. The 2 second limit is not arbitrary, and ties in to the way the EVE Server works. Insta-warpĪn " Insta-Warp" is a ship that has an align time under 2 seconds. Note: From now on, unless told otherwise, the starting scenario is always a motionless ship. So if you're not moving, the direction your ship is pointing at will not influence your align time. Worth noting is that the visual orientation of the ship does NOT matter, only its velocity vector does. The align time is the necessary time for a ship to reach 75% of its maximum speed, and therefore enter warp, starting from a 0% velocity. These methods will not be detailed in this guide. These modules are often referred to as "a point". It must not be under any anti-warp effects (Warp disruption, Warp Scrambling, Bubbles, etc.).
Its destination must be at more than 150 km.It must have reached 75% of its current maximum velocity.The ship must have its velocity vector pointing at the warp target.Warping is the basic displacement method within a solar system. This guide is composed of the following sections:
The goal of this guide will obviously be to explain how insta-lock works, but also to try to explain it in the clearest way possible.Īs insta-locking is useful to understand when using a taxi interceptor, or even when traveling around with another kind of ship, this guide will also cover, very briefly, a few complementary topics to make things easier to understand for everyone.
Very often will players link to an accurate guide on the internet as a source for the wrong explanation they are giving. Insta-locking is a mechanic that is fully explained in multiple places, but is one of the least properly understood.
