The '''cloak trick''' is a maneuver that allows a ship to align and gain enough speed while cloaked so that the pilot may then near-instantly warp off after uncloaking.

The {{Sh|Porpoise}} can also easily fit a MWD and Cloak, and with proper skills and fitting the nimble Porpoise can even use the cloak trick with only an afterburner, decreasing the time to warp by about 2 seconds compared to a MWD. A Porpoise is similar to a Miasmos in mining hold capacity and also has a fleet hanger, and the ability to use the cloak trick with an afterburner gives it more survivability in low sec space.

The other high volume haulers ( {{Sh|Bestower}}, {{Sh|Tayra}}, {{Sh|Kryos}}, {{Sh|Epithal}}, {{Sh|Miasmos}}, {{Sh|Iteron Mark V}} and {{Sh|Mammoth}}) struggle with necessary powergrid available to fit a 50MN MWD, with some not being able to fit at all without without extensive fitting for extra powergrid and higher skills. In many cases it's necessary to use the ''50MN YT-8 Compact Microwarpdrive'' because it has significantly lower Powergrid requirements. You shouldn't count on being able to do the cloak trick with most these ships without sacrificing cargo capacity and/or tank. If struggling to fit, low slots and/or rig slots may be needed for powergrid modules/rigs to have enough powergrid with low engineering skills.
