The '''cloak trick''' is a maneuver that takes advantage of the secondary effects of cloaking devices to reach 75% of maximum velocity (and thus enter warp) more quickly than would normally be possible. This maneuver is primarily used to avoid being targeted after jumping through a gate by aligning whilst cloaked. | The '''cloak trick''' is a maneuver that takes advantage of the secondary effects of cloaking devices to reach 75% of maximum velocity (and thus enter warp) more quickly than would normally be possible.

This is a technique that enables pilots to align while cloaked after jumping through a gate. When done properly, this allows the pilot to almost instantly warp the second they break cloak. General information on cloaking can be found at the [[Cloaking]] page. | This is a technique that enables pilots to align while cloaked after jumping through a gate.
