Mackinaw solo mining

as Gerard said:
if you stop your ship, at zero speed, for the game you are a sphere, not aligned to anything. Even if your ship seems to point toward somethg, it is just a visual effect. If will take you the same time to align and warp to the thing you think you are aligned to as it will take if your ship is pointing toward another direction, with zero speed.

Good.
Consider it as “I am learning as well” - the new players will be grateful for the help and interaction, and you will also learn how commanding such a fleet works: it’s less “commanding” more “shepherding”. If we meet in game, then we can collaborate on something. Good luck.
