yeah, I saw it, and the speed formula v = k.e^(k.t) doesnt make sense because v already equals k, which is max warp speed, at time t=0.

No, this is not a correct interpretation.

k affects acceleration and deceleration. It is not the same as max warp speed.

For the acceleration phase, k is equal to the shipGÇÖs maximum warp speed (in AU/s).
For the deceleration phase, k is equal to the shipGÇÖs maximum warp speed (in AU/s) divided by 3, but with a maximum value of 2.

Nevermind the math but who da frakk cares? Are you starting in freighters racing event or sth?

also, does ship's warp speed affect gate jumping times?

I'm finding it kind of hard to disagree with you here seeing as how e^0 is 1.

what kind of monster does this kind of maths, the kind with letters, on a Sunday morning!

This is what separates the hard core gamer nerds from the average gamer. I'm not going to hate on them though because they're the ones that make up cool formulas that make everything work.

I don't hate the gamer, it's just that maths and I don't go well with each other.

Then as a dyslexic i must inform you dude, we picked the wroooooooooooong game to fall into.
as IIshira said though, they keep our world (and eve) going so much respect, (and a bit of jealousy)

Except that, time is not 0 when you enter warp as far as I know (I do have a hangover though, my brain is much less focussed than its normal fuzzy state).

Align time and the time to get up to at least 3/4 speed to enter warp affect the initial time value.

So e won't be 1.

But. I'll freely admit thst my memory could be very fuzzy on this. Basic math is simple otherwise.

I think it's obvious that Fozzie meant:
x=e^(k.t)-1, thus v=k.(e^(k.t)-1)

BTW, assuming that the correct formula for speed for acceleration part is
v=k.(e^(k.t)-1)
where k is the max warp speed,
the time to reach that warp speed can be obtained from:
k=k.(e^(k.t_0)-1)
so
t_0=ln(2)/k
For lets say a badger with 4.5 warp speed, that comes out to be roughly about 0.15 seconds. If you warp and hover the mouse pointer over the speed gauge, you could see that it takes certainly way longer than 0.15 seconds before the speed reaches 4.5 and stays there.
So there is something wrong with that formula too...

P.S. It is Monday, I hope I didnt offend anybodies feelings towards "maths".

It should be at least 1 second, if that's what you mean?

Server ticks and all... especially in Tidi

Oh. I get it! Someone wants mathematical precision of execution in an INTERNET based game! OH! Use my formula.

a = the time it takes to click the right button.

b = the time it takes for whatever to look like it's actually happening!

c = the data being processed apart from the graphic representation.

d = my lack of comprehension in real terms that this happens with EVERYTHING I do in game.

z = the last letter of the alphabet.

SO...we get a+b+c+d = d+c+b+a!

Z?
