I'm not sure whether increased agility enables a ship to accelerate faster or whether it only reduces the time required to align.Įven without dev co-operation, it should be possible to get some fairly accurate data on acceleration times by using fraps, provided that you can get a good number of frames per second. I'm not sure whether or not this is related to propulsion jamming, though, rather than acceleration. Incidentally, ships do have an attribute which is either 'x propulsion strength', where x is one of fusion, ion, magpulse or plasma, and this attribute is larger for larger ship classes. This figure is not taken into account in the 'max velocity bonus' attribute of such modules, even when they are fitted to an active ship. Thrust is a variable in EVE, but afaik it doesn't directly relate to acceleration- the 'thrust' of an afterburner or mcrowarpdrive divided by total ship mass determines the % efficiency you get from it after all other bonuses have been applied. Those variables are based on real life, so I don't even know if "thrust" is actually a variable in EVE's physics, which is why I would need the DEV's to give me the actual formula used to define how fast a ship is accelerating. Confirmation of speed to reach before you start warping (2/3 * max velocity or 3/4 * max velocity?) The agility bonus shouldn't be a factor since I'm not taking into consideration the fact you have to align (I'm starting from 0m/s and I'm already aligned), and I don't think there's any drag in EVE's physics so that is not a factor either. What I need to know basically after thinking about it with some people at work, is a way to find the acceleration in m/s^2 of each ship (which in theory would be based on the thrust and the mass of the ship, I just don't know the formula). There is a formula for sure, wether it's in the root code of the engine itself or not. Ship speeds and acceleration are controlled by skills and modules. You can turn on a AB for one cycle, kick it off and go to warp almost the instant it turns off. This of course does not count the time to align.Ī side effect of this is that in theory if you get webbed before scrambled, your max. speed or 3/4 max speed (I can't remember which). A ship - any ship - enters warp at either 2/3 max. Besides I can't access the test server right now, my acount is not mirrored with the right status (mirrored while trial expired.) Why not try some empirical testing on rates of turn/acceleration on the test server and figure it out for yourself.īecause I really suck at maths and I wouldn't be able to do it. Why not try some empirical testing on rates of turn/acceleration on the test server and figure it out for yourself. Seen what you're asking, and had a response about the factors involved. James Lyrus Lyrus Associates Interstellar Starbase Syndicate I'd say evemail the Devs but I'm fairly sure they ignore all mail sent to them as it has to be in the hundreds a day. Thanks for the advice, any GM in particular you think would be more responsive to such a request? Your best bet to get a reponse would probably be to evemail one of the GM's your question and see if they will pass it on to a dev for you as its for a tool and not some complaint or flame. (please don't hijack my thread by adding to my question or passing comments, if you don't know just don't reply.) I need to know so I can write a "time to warp" calculator. I want the pure, simple "stat A * stat B = time to warp" type of formula only. I've asked this in the Ships & Module forum but someone hijacked my thread and I'm not sure Devs read that forum much so I'll ask here instead.Ĭould any DEV team member confirm the base formula that is used to calculate how much time it takes for a ship to go from 0m/s to warp? I'm not talking about skills, modules and other ship bonuses and I don't want to hear about them either.
