Is it taking WAYYYYY longer than it should for anyone else? My ship will be completely aligned and in full speed for like 20 seconds until it warps. Wtf. --

I have noticed the same issue too.
It's related to the ship alignment "improvement" CCP made to the system/client to prevent warping sideways or backwards.
So instead of the alignment process being actually useful in telling you how your ship is progressing through the cycle, and actually fixing the issue causing warping sideways, CCP got lazy, took the easy route and recoded it probably with some screwed up but 'what can possibly go wrong' reliable but useless maths.
So now the align process is completley useless for gauging a tactical situation in an orca+ sized ship in the event that hostiles could be near.

You might wanna time it with a stopwatch and realize it's the same as it was.
What's different now is the animation. Ships turn and align before stopping, but the actual time to align is the same. It's just a graphical change CCP has implemented to make the game look a little more realistic. Your ship doesn't have massive reverse thrusters, so what the animation shows now is your ship turning around completely and thrusters going on full to stop its momentum in the opposite direction.
tl;dr - It's all in your head, the animation is different that's it.

Yeah, it may be. But then how in the world am I supposed to know at what point I'm going to warp. Pretty stupid. But looks > usefulness right?

As soon as you hit 75% of your subwarp max speed?

My ship warped once before full alignment.
Yes kiddies, your ship can warp sideways.

Is this like a before / after thing (same station, same warp point before and after patch) or just something you now started doing?
There are instances where you can seem to be aligned but if you're in a heavy ship you will still take ages to warp, especially if you're going top speed (because your ship tries to turn in that direction without slowing down).
I find the best way to warp at a wide angle with a slow ship is to double click right behind to reverse, then time the warp command when the speedometer thing is at 1/4th speed. This basically starts a fresh alignment process and is always faster than just hitting warp and waiting.
edit: and just to remind you, there is still no divider between posts and sigs.

My Orca specifically seems to be taking a lot longer than it should, sometimes when I watch it it gets to around 90% velocity and we begin warp. Never used to take so long to do so.

Edited by: Commander Aeris on 29/01/2010 08:33:50 Game mechanics have not changed..just the graphics
As for gauging tactical situations..if the stars/specs of dust are moving in the same direction your ship is pointing, you're close to warp

Edited by: Tippia on 29/01/2010 09:27:39 I've only noticed that the AB speed-align trick no longer (fully) works on my Orca. It used to be that a single AB burst when getting out of post-jump cloak would be enough to push it well over the 75% threshold (once the AB cycle finished), but now it only reaches about 70% and requires a few more seconds of steaming ahead before entering warp. It's still faster than a simple cold align, but it is not just a matter of a visual change — the aligning and/or acceleration mechanism has changed and is slower than before. ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

I don't like this; MWD align appears wrong now. My ship is pointed in the warp direction but not warping at 100% speed.

I'm almost certain that is because there is a sideways component to you ship's movement still. Look at the 'dust particles' flying past your ship - when their movement is in line with your ship's direction of warp, that is when its reached alignment (if the 75% of ship speed gauge isn't playing ball).
Our ships essentially skid or drift into position. They get their sideways fetish sated before they enter warp instead of during.

I haven't tried it since the change, but when coming out of station in something largish, I will put on my MWD after I start the warp. This brings my relative speed way down, and improves agility greatly for alignment. Then when I am aligned or close to it, I turn off the MWD, which puts my relative speed at full and I start warping immediately. It works great in my bustard or orca... Yes, I managed to fit a MWD on my orca, just for this purpose alone.

When your mass increases, while your agility value stays the same, it will take much longer to change your vector, fyi. ----------------------------------------------

That may be true, but I'm just telling you that it works. The station launches me out at 110% speed and if I try to turn around then, it takes forever. My ship spins like a ballet dancer after I turn on my MWD. Don't take my word for it, try it yourself and see... but like I said, I don't know if this technique was affected by the changes.

Doing a ctrl+space to stop your ship and then telling your ship to warp seems to have better results. |

Maybe. Might depend on the size of ship and how long it takes to stop. Turning on a mod is quicker, IMHO...

Ok, I decided to try it with MWD and without.
I timed my orca coming out of station, aligning and getting into warp to another station that was about 140 degrees port, and the difference was...
None. It's exactly the same now, so whatever the changes were, a MWD will no longer improve the situation.

That doesn't surprise me so much. What strike me as odd is that it seems to be (a fair bit) slower to get out of a stationary position, such as after a gate jump.
So the question is, how does this affect the AB-to-warp and web-to-warp mechanics in terms of time saved? ùùù ôIf you're not willing to fight for what you have in ≡v≡à you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.ö ù Karath Piki |

And if you stop ship fast enough while aligning to warp after undocking it will quickly turn back and face in "right" dirrection |

It actually seems a lot faster to me. Either that or they've drastically increased the Command Ship agility.
What I'd like to know is if it shows to others that you've decloaked after jumping at the same time as it does for you. If it does, the time between decloaking and warping has reduced from what I remember. The time between a covops ship decloaking and re-cloaking after a jump has increased though, if they can see you at all when you jump, it kind of kills the idea of "covert" ops.

Create insta-Undocks for frequently used stations when bound to face hostiles maybe?
Aside from that, aligning takes exact the same amount of time as it did before the patch.

Yes, I got my butt handed to me for forgetting that trick in one station. After that, I always used an inty to zoom off grid in a straight line from undocking and create a BM there.
