The new warp changes for battleships render the game very time consuming and boring. 9 manual jumps now take me around 20 minutes in a maelstrom with no inertia stabs.

I dont think "immersion" was the real reason behind this as some devs pointed out.

I, as well as many of you, can do plenty of other useful/entertaining things in such time.

The Orca is the ship got kicked in the nuts with these changes going from 3au/s to 2au/s. For those that don't think slowing a ship down a full 33% in warp try my Jita run of 26 jumps up 26 jumps back, you will then understand.

Freighters made out going from 0.75au/s to 1.4au/s.

All of this changes with the new warp speed implants that CCP has introduced. There will be demand, I just don't like how CCP left the Orca with a blooded mess where it's nads use to be.

Just don't fly an interceptor for the whole day before moving a BS.

I agree, the Orca is now freakin' painful to use. On the other hand, the Crane is just SICK fast now.

Strangely, I've noticed little change in the Orca, and my alt has pretty subpar navigation skills. It really does feel like battleships got the short end of the stick, because my Abaddon took longer to drift out of warp that the Orca did...

Fly something smaller than a battleship? If you don't want to do that as some other pilots suggested fit inertia stabilizers to travel.

I fly mostly battleships and it's not that bad. Yes I'm not excited about 2.0 warp speed but the changes were done for a good reason.

Also by saying you're going to quit or play less because of a patch change is just asking for flames but I'm sure you know this.

Exactly what good reason was that? Battleships were already one of the least used ships for PvP due to their totallyl crap mobility. What good could possibly come out of making them slower?

The warp changes were meant to separate even further the difference between fast agile ships and heavy slow ships. Battleships are meant for tanky DPS. If you want more mobility there are many choices out there. They're used more than you think due to the MJD. Of course they're used less than smaller ships but that's mainly due to they cost a whole lot more.

No its mainly because they're slow fat whales that are outperformed by almost everything else thanks to their agility, god aweful lock time and inability to hit anything that's not anchored in one spot and with the sig radius of Tippia's ego.

As for their tanky dps, they're as tanky as a T3 and only have higher dps on paper.

They're one of the least used combat ships in PvP according to the publicly available stats.

Bro, get out of battleships then. They made it quicker to warp short distances, so you're either making extremely long warps or you're lying.

Quite literally, it took 10-15 minutes for me to go from one safe, jump to adjoining system, dock and undock, and fly to a safe in that same system. Align time and getting up to jump speed was painful. If it wasn't a requisite for my exploration alt (Cynabal, Ishtar, & Loki fits) to do his thing I might reconsider. Thinking about trying to use just a yurt, but I seem to recall something about not being able to refit a T3 with it...

They completey overdid the BS warpspeeds, I can read a frigging book now between warping through systems or to a mission site. The change is ridiculous on the slow/bigger hul size end.

It only annoys the heck out of the bigger ship users and serves no balancing purpose (making the smaller hulls faster still allows them to catch BS at the old speeds) other than to annoy the heck out of us.

Not tried this recently but...........

Initiate warp to 0 and Jump, + 1 cycle of a 100mn AB on a BS used to speed up align and warp.

Please let me know if this still works?

Orca is meant to be a mining support ship.. how often do you move your mining fleet 26 jumps ?

People use them as haulers. The trade route to Jita is an awesome place to lose one.

They didn't change anything about aligning, so if that worked before, it will still work. (Unless you're in a ship that saw its agility/mass change as part of the expansion as well.) It won't affect anything about the actual warp, though, which is what people are complaining about here.
