I see miner safety is an issue again. Well...
When I was new and was trying to mine, we did something like this with EVE-Uni guys:
You take some fast frig, and go make loads of off-grid bookmarks around belts in your system, positioning them so that you can be nearly-aligned to any of them most of the time while slowly flying along asteroid fields mining. You'll probably need about 5-6 bookmarks to be able to circle around belts. If something enters your system, you should be able to almost insta-warp with the exception of unlucky cases when you will be caught with your pants down while re-aligning to another bookmark. Anything else is pretty normal, jettison ore in the process of mining then tractor all cans to one spot where it can be picked up by whatever indy you are using.
It can be more of a hassle for grav sites as you will need a new sets of bookmarks every time, but for belts you won't spend too much time.

I can't see the Orca in that chart, how will the warp speed change for that one?

I am not saying the warp speed changes are a bad idea, but if this is to be implemented without completely rendering null sec mining useless you have to do some adjustments to mining.

To rephrase:

"So are you saying, that I can actually intercept in my interceptor now?* "

*unless you're a lowsec pirate

I personally feel that freighters should align like pigs and warp faster than they do. These are ships that spend most of their in-space time in warp, so it only makes sense they would be engineered to be good at it.

I'm generally in favor of the smaller ships getting a bonus to their warp speed. However, I don't believe it's necessary to slow down the larger ships to do it.

As it stands now, it already takes forever and a day to travel anywhere in a BS, and I see this change making them even less frequently seen on the battlefield than they are already. In fact, the only place I expect them to be common will be in missions and incursions.

In short, if my real life time investment goes up due to travel time, which often has no enjoyable gameplay associated with it, it's going to discourage me from using heavier ships at all. I don't know if that's the intention, but that will be the net effect in my case.

That's quite a proxy nerf you did to blockade runners . They used to be able run gate to gate at the fastest speed in the game but now all frig size ships are twice as fast.
Is this deliberate that blockade runners can no longer run blockades?

Hi Fozzie,

Please don't make warping in a battleship any slower. Any long trip is already painful. I think this will just promote the use of capitals and titans as means to move individuals and fleets around. I will likely not fly my battleship anywhere after this, I will load it in my carrier and jump it.
I feel that this could have the effect of eliminating the opportunity of catching individual and fleet bs's as we won't want to fly them anywhere. (nullsec)

A couple related thoughts:

Reduce warp speed by 50%+ on all ships in addition to this change you have proposed because travel is too easy and quick overall and trivializes locality a great deal.

Or use tactics to prevent such a demise, and create an offgrid BM to warp to, then bounce to the very close by mining op.

So unless the warp is longer than 50+ AU freighters will warp even slower, more than doubeling the time in some cases? Which percentage of Eve's systems has warps over 50+ AU? In my experience there aren't a whole lot of those systems. So in general it seems you are pestering freighters with this. Dont you think freighterering is horrible enough already? What have you been smoking?

Of course, you might also see Freighters allowed fittings when they get to the Cap ships in Tiericide, and can then choose to fit warp speed & agility rigs to your freighter making it much faster.

Yeah that would be nice indeed, but lets do that first before making the bricks fly even slower

Oh, and fix the recon cap usage on warps while you're at it.

4 warps for a single system in a recon is a joke.
