Warp Devices instantly warp you, up to their maximum distance, to a different location. Most warp you in the direction you are facing. The Seer Rift Generator will warp you to the back of your target, while the Singularity Brake will warp you near to your selected target. If a warp device fails, it will warp you in a random direction instead of your desired direction. The base electricity is a flat cost per jump, while the jump electricity is how much electricity is required per distance jumped.

Advantages of the PWI

It allows you to maneuver easily in DGs, selecting appropriate AIs and singling them out for destruction. The PWI also allow for rapid escape from AIs when shields get low. It is also incredibly useful in PvP, as it allows for a quick ambush and retreat.

Disadvantages of the PWI

Many balk at the cost (25 bil) and difficulty of completing the mission chain. To safely carry the PWI, you must use Gear Glue 20 at 100mil each. Recently, Afterburners have rendered the PWI nearly obsolete for merely increasing speed in a straight line. The PWI also competes with "baby PWIs" such as the Gallows Robber (from Piracy missions), Warpping Paper (Christmas drop) and Witch's Broomstick (Halloween drop).
