2. Align to the planet at full speed (you will align directly to the planet bracket/icon)
Originally by: Grimpak
it has been like that since I can remember.
...and I've been playing for like 8 years already.
Something is borken. Is there a discrepancy in terms here?
Also, when I use the Align To function, I don't get an re-alignment errors. It aligns to the designated planet spot which isn't where the bracket is in space.
Although I've never had to cause to notice if what I just said is true, because it's always appeared to work.

Is there a difference between clicking the bracket for say Planet 4 then clicking align, and selecting Align To Planet IV ?

Eve history as written by Gavjack Bunk:
In the beginning, there was no align button, and therefore it was impossible to get your ship to fly towards something. Then CCP created the align button and aligning became possible.
I'm sorry I have no idea how you get that from what I said. Perhaps you would like to take more than a handful of seconds to explain yourself.

that means that, in locations that are very near of a planet, when you press "align to" or "warp to" it points to said location, not the planet itself.
also, since the location is close enough of the planet, that means that if you align, or warp from places that are far enough, you only need to point at the planet.
it's a kinda weird explanation, but it has always been like that.
That's the way it always has worked for me. I don't have a clear memory of testing "Align To" when in such close proximity to the planet that the difference between the planet's warpzone and the planet's central core that the difference would matter. Though it's the sort of thing I do a lot, I am literally amazed that if there is a problem with this, I and hundred of others wouldn't have noticed by now.
Still, it won't take more than 10 minutes to check it out and educate myself to a potential future ship loss when I get home and log in.

I can't really think of anywhere that this would occur around a gate - ie aligning out in a fight.
Bawilan, the Archee gate is very close to planet 9 (I might even be right on this one!). It's repeated a lot, when an impromptu gate camp is called for, there is frequently a conveniently close by celestial to rebound a safe spot off.
I am thinking "Align to the nearest planet" is not an order I have heard often or even at all, which helps explain why I might not have inadvertently discovered this effect. Either way, knowledge is power, better to find out this way than that way.

Aye, there it is.
8000km from a planet.
[Align To] aligns you to the planet's central core.
[Warp To] warps you to the fixed offside section.
Handy to remember, I don't think I'll be making bookmarks everywhere to deal with this one.
