The only exception may be is if you are mining very close to a gate or station. I've actually gotten into the habit of aligning while I am mining. Saves that turn time. Please keep in mind that to be "aligned" you have to be moving at 75% of your max speed towards the warp destination. Passive alignment does not exist. If you are not moving it does not matter what direction your ship is facing, it will take the same amount of time to align in any direction. This. I'm still amazed how many people are stupid enough that think that direction your pretty ship is pointing matters. EVE works with velocity not speed. Velocity is a vector physical quantity. At 0 velocity you have NO vector and no matter which direction you are going, it will increase at the same pace. The whole turning if your ship is just aesthetics, hence why if you warp fast enough (tripple web a freighter for instance) you can warp "backwards" cause the aesthetics part of EVE couldn't keep up with the real mechanics (aka the vectors that make you go in a direction with a certain speed. It does matter. You need to be pointed within 5* of the target warp to, although in most cases you're going to be in that range before you're at 75% |

See, another person that is stupid to not know the difference.
The "vector" has to be within 5 degree of your destination, not the visual front of your ship...
They are 2 totally different things.
Our "spaceships" are nothing but a dot to the server. To this dot, a velocity emerges that clasifies which direction your ship is traveling to. The length of the vector is the speed you are achieving.
So if the direction of the vector is within 5 degree of your destination and the speed is 75% of your max, you warp. Period.
But as we won't pay CCP to see some dots and vectors fly around in space, they gave these dots a nice visually pleasing surface. But this surface has nothing to do with the whole warp mechanic.

I'm still amazed how many forum posters infer that people who are new to games are stupid. Thanks for info BeBop, and great tips all, I appreciate them. hers another friendly one, try not to upset the NCQ&A regulars (not saying you have but something to bear in mind), while we might be a little condescending at times we are still here doing our best to be patient and help out when we can. Also note we are just other players taking our own free time to check these threads and ensure even the most stupidly inane questions get answered correctly to the best of our ability for no other reason than we care about the health of the game.
Jpoll in particular is one of the long-standing posters here (longer than iv been around) and far more often than not is correct (if grumpy ). [/brown nosing]

J'Poll us just frustrated because thats someone we have to explain to vetrans quite often. I once had a conversation with a 6 year old player who still did not know that.
