I am surely missing something obvious. It must be too easy and obvious to figure out by myself so bare with me
My question is, why bother with scram at all when I can just put a web on it to slow down so he can't reach his warp out velocity?
thoughts?

Required velocity to enter warp is relative. If a ship is webbed, it can still warp away when it reaches 75% of its new speed. In fact, when you web a ship, it will be able to align faster.

…in fact, if you web a ship that's already going for warp, chances are that no only will he align faster (if he isn't aligned already), he'll also be above his new, lowered, max speed and therefore well above his new minimum warp speed. Webbing him therefore essentially lets him insta-warp away.

most situations you will not be slowing a ship to a point where it can't reach warp drive operation speed. It is a small speed that is easly attainable by most ships in this game especially while webbed. First I thought u asked why to have both in your ship which is useful if your prey is using afterburners to avoid scram and keep his sig radius small ( bombers etc..).

Alright folks. That settles it. Last time I got webbed, I saw my speedometer get glued to the far left and far away from the 80-ish percent warp-out spot, therefore my question.
Thanks a bunch

Keep in mind that if the enemy DOES have a web and he uses it on you, he can use his normal speed to get out of range of your scram.
This is ofcourse assuming he has a scram himself to kill your MWD.
Usually in the short period in which he isn't scrammed and before you can use your MWD again to close range, he'll warp off.
Also, stasis web cuts down any speed, MWD speed, AB speed and regular speed and it helps HAMs/Torps and gun tracking a lot.
You can do without, but if you have a mid to spare, fit a web in it.

I suspect you were trying to go into warp and someone put a point on you (or popped a bubble), once this happens you lose all speed because you can't actually get into warp. Having a web on you has no effect on where your speed indicator is, it simply makes the maximum possible speed lower.

Actually, if you for example have a max speed of 1000 m/s and are going 500 m/s your speed meter is at 50%, when you get hit with a web your max speed is 400 m/s so the speed meter will go all the way to the right since you're going 120% of your max velocity.

Webbing large ships (capitals, freighters, Orcas) is a common practice used to lessen alignment times. This is especially true for 0.0 security systems. Have you ever seen a webbed freighter warp sideways? It is a sight to see!
If you are PvPing, make sure you apply your point first or at the same time as your web. Seeing your target warp away because you webbed first is a terrible feeling!

I'll never admit this, But honestly.. His logic makes sence :D to an extent. Why not slow it down so it can't reach full speed,- no offense indened, very good laugh you gave me, thanks! and remeber, use a point

In retrospect:
- A web nerf the target's top speed but not it's acceleration rate. Right?
- The webbed target can still warp out once it has reached 80-ish % of it's webbed top speed. If the pre-web speed is already beyond 80-ish % of webbed speed, you can get a magical Xtreme drift warp-out.
I think I got it.
