There was an option to cancel warp in beta but they changed it. as it is now there would be too many possible exploits.
1) if you warp drive is active players cannot target you. Only players who already have a target lock can shoot.
2) Your warpo drive is active even if your ship needs to turn around 180 degrees before going into warp.
Combine 1 and 2. you could make your ship untargettable for a while warp, turn around and stop warp before you actually fly away, warp to the other direction, repeat. You could use this to stall for time whiel being invulnerable, you could probably even abuse the invulnerability timer that way cause i'm sure CCP will forget about that and reset it evey time.

perhaps the ability to stop warp after an amount of time etc say 1 min? could probably be abused as well tho

You should be able to stop warp if your current velocity is under 100 m/s (stuck).

Yes please cancel warp option never mind how careful you are you will get stuck at some point. OH IĈm stuck on a roid, OH is that i'm locked by 3 npc's , oh my ship goes boom .
my idea is when you cancel warp make it empty you shield/ make you take damage (due to warp field clasping or something) no exploit/ you can still get unstuck.

How about ..
(1) you don't have to turn to face the destination before warping to it;
(2) "You cannot enter warp because you are within 5km of another object."
Either of these would solve the problem altogether, wouldn't they?

In my opinion the only reasonable solution to this problem would be that there was a cancel warp button. All npc:s and pc:s can shoot and target you while you are in target/weapon range.
There would not be any artificial "I am warping 100 meters to be invulnerable" -cheat situations. Neither would there be any "help me, I'm ethernally stuck to this stone" -situations.
If someone would for example warp 10 kilometers (good reflexes with the acceleration of the warp) in middle of the combat it would be perfectly legal in my opinion... It would take time to alight the ship with the target and if someone was shooting him with railgun when the warp started he would still be shooting him with railgun after the warp. And if there was more ships in the battle they could all start shooting the guy who is trying to escape with the warp. Sounds quite realistic to me. |

Kilran, you are right. But CCP would have to rework all there object handling, as warping ships aren't considered targets ATM.
I would like to be able to cancel warp as well. My experience is, that closing eve will ccancel warp more often than not (and still stops NPCs from attacking you). I never did that when it was possible to cancel warp.
So either cancel warp, or disabling warpin when an object is near.

The fix for stuck in warp used to be turn on ABs or MWD. The nerf to help gate campers ruined this perfectly good workaround. I would suggest as a possible alternative that when you select "warp to" whatever, the warp drive doesn't actually go active until you are properly aligned (kinda like autopilot approaching stargate before jumping). Up until then the ship is doing an automatic manovre like approaching to dock or jump, and the player can still use any module or cancel the manovre at will, right up until the point of actually warp speed acceleration.
 Quote:
1) if you warp drive is active players cannot target you. Only players who already have a target lock can shoot.
Yeah, and this is part of the problem. If I realize I have bitten off more NPC than I can chew, I should be able to run away it I have enough hull/armour left to survive a normal turning manoevre and enough cap to warp. The problem as it stands is a BUG, not a feature. You should not be able to *instantly* chicken out I'll grant you, but choosing to try while you still have 25% shields with full armour and struc shouldn't be a game of Russian roulette the way it is now. If rats (PC or NPC) don't want me to warp away, they can feel free to scramble me :)

Yes, making it so, when your warp drive turns acitve, that the collision engine already turns off would solve the problem, id hate to lose the invul time, because sometimes it takes a second or two(sometimes 4-6/7) to load what is at a gate......id hate to be warpscrambled and be fu**ed, when i dont even see anything.......
