First, thanks for finally changing this mechanic ! You rock !
Now about the changes themselves, they are pretty good... EXCEPT !
1- Attack BC should warp faster than other BCs imo.
2- Where is the orca on your chart ? Capital ship ? (If yes, this is a very bad idea imo :D)
3- You killed my rigged 20Au/sec travel rapooooor :-( (because his base warp speed will now be 10 au /sec if I read the chart correctly)

3 - Your raptor will actually make virtually any practical warp faster after these changes than before. The increase in acceleration rate more than counteracts the decrease in max warp speed.
Thanks for answering ! The comment was just humouristical since I knew the increase in warp acceleration / deceleration would beat any decrease in warp speed.
After trying this out on Sisi, I now see that it litteraly EXPLODES everything I could have immagined so far :D I warp gate to gate (40Au) in 8 seconds with a T2 rigged interceptor, that's cool !
Is it short ? Hell yes it is ! But is it a good change ? OF COURSE !
It will entierly change the meta and affect even apparently distant gameplay like PvE in wormholes (D-scan when the ship can be on grid after 5 seconds ? ^^)... And that's cool ! Some people will probably complain about it, but I believe we now give a true role to smaller ships and especially interceptors. I was affraid that this change would shrink the galaxy, but since this was not a global increase in warp speed for every ship, so far it looks balanced. (And I tried with a freighter to compare fastest / slowest)
So, this is a "simple" change (even if from what I understood it was a lot of backend work) but both a needed one and a brilliant one.

The time to align is so long that a pilot with no arm will be able to bump you for ever.
LOL.
Time to align has not changed of a single millisecond. That's the in-warp speed that changed, a state where you're invulnerable.
Please know your topic before complaining about those beautiful and meta-breaking changes.
