So, trying to decide for a solo PvP ship I was looking also into a ship's agility but as of right now I was not able to figure out exactly how it is calculated and what it affects.
All the sites I came across have the same info,for example a shuttle has 1.0 agility and 1.6GKG mass.A ceptor has less mass and 3.1 agility and I think a shuttle actually turns around and warps faster than a ceptor.I'm sure there are ships that can make even a better example for this situation.My question is,what exactly does agility affect and what is it that affects the
speed that a ship turns around by a degree and warps?
Should be a ratio of mass and agility but doesn't seem so in game.

I think it has to do with (Agility) * (Mass)... the lower the final result the better. It's misleading because the "faster" ships have a higher agility, but remember, they also have much, much lower masses than a battleship (which has something like 0.115 agility).

Example of (Mass * Agility)/1,000,000
Ship__________Agility___Ratio
Shuttle:_______1________1.600
Intercepter:____3.1______3.286
Frig:__________3.1______4.340
Destroyer:_____3.5______6.125
Cruiser:_______0.55_____6.600
BattleCruiser:__1.1______14.575
BattleShip:_____0.155____16.275

That can't be right.. Nanofiber structures, for instance, increase the agility of the ship without reducing the mass.

"Increase agility" means reduce the inertia multiplier.
Nanofiber Internal Structure I
Inertia Multiplier
-12,5 %
So the BS multipler would change from .155 to .135625 with the addition of a Nanofiber.
