Part of the requirement to make the microwarpdrive + cloak trick work is to have a size-appropriate microwarpdrive, 5MN for a frigate, 50MN for a cruiser, 500MN for a battleship etc.

The {{sh|Orca}} is considered by some to be a capital-class sized ship, but by mass it is really in line with T2 Marauders at about 150 million kg. Still, with low overall agility and long align time, MWD/Cloak jumping an Orca is hard. But it is possible with the correct setup. The Orca can still use the Cloak Trick by {{sh|overheating}} a 500MN Microwarpdrive II, in combination with good Navigation Skills ({{sk|Spaceship Command|V}}, {{sk|Evasive Maneuvering|V}}, {{sk|Acceleration Control|IV}} at least) and/or agility skill hardwiring implants (Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering and Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Acceleration Control). Do not attempt to MWD/Cloak jump your Orca in dangerous space without testing it in safe space first.

For normal capital ships (carriers, dreadnoughts, force auxiliaries, supercarriers, titans and the {{sh|Rorqual}}) there are capital sized 50,000MN microwarpdrives, that can allow them to do the same microwarpdrive + cloak trick, although they have a cycle-time of 20 seconds (instead of the usual 10 seconds) and might require additional agility modules to ensure they get the speed up in time.
