Pwi fails sometimes when nowhere near a planet, sun or warp (any object)

Are you sure the PWI you're not hitting the actual fail rate of the PWI?

Im not sure it might even be the lag thats doing it i know it has 15% chance failure rate but it shouldnt fail in a row

The 15% chance to fail is simply the area of the probability wheel that the PWI could land failure on when used. Over many PWI jumps, you can get to a point where it fails 100 times in a row, but that is 100 times out of 1500 jumps, literally being a 15% fail rate.

Hopefully this clarifies it failing twice in a row. I'll admit that mine failed five times in a row one time.

150 times in a row and 150 out of 1000

I notice if I panic PWI and double, triple tap it quickly it won't move me. It will use the elect but not perform. If I am out in the middle of no where though and I get a PWI failure it jumps me in the wrong direction. It seems like this first failure is not the same as the 15% fail rate failure.

PWI failure is any distance (between 0 and 2501) and any direction, iirc. It could jump you forward 1 distance, or you could jump you 1500 distance at a weird angle.

From my use, I've seen that the PWI is non-ethereal. So if you're 1500 distances away from a warp, and facing it. If you PWI (successfully) you will stop at 1500 distance, directly on the warp.

Likewise, if you're near a large sun, plant or warp - even an asteroid. You will not go anywhere being stopped by the object.

All warp devices do that.

Well then isn't that the answer to the OPs question :P?

all warper have some issues if you are pressing certain keys as you warp it won't work. Even happens with a sing brake that doesn't fail.

Was thinking they added a fail rate on Sing Brakes now that there is enough hull for HM's to equip and use it in combat instead of PWI.

Yeah, that was a nasty surprise to be fighting -X-'s Engineer HM, and get him to about 20%, for him to scoop drones and Sing Brake to the gate and warp through. The galaxy he warped into was Perilous Outpost :(

If you attack anyone now you have to wait 1 min before you can warp to protected gals without firing that is

I don't think you realize, but that was The Jiggly Butts Gang. Do you see Jiggly Butts anywhere around? No. It was obviously 6-12 months ago. And if there was any player who would know what changed, it's the one who spends 8 hours a day on the forum. I KNOW what happened. I'm DESCRIBING what happened ages ago when someone realized he could use a Singularity Brake for combat purposes.
