Cloak trick: Difference between revisions

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, executing the cloak trick in an Orca is more difficult than other ships. But it is very possible with the correct setup.

The Orca can still use the Cloak Trick by [[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#Navigation|skill hardwiring]] implants (Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering and Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Acceleration Control). Repairing a damaged 500MN MWD takes a lot of [[Overheating#Nanite_Repair_Paste|nanite repair paste]], so keep plenty on hand. Do not attempt to MWD/Cloak jump your Orca in dangerous space without testing it in safe space first. With perfect skills and blinged fit / implants (including faction MWD, and possibly a faction Cloak), it is possible to use the cloak trick in an Orca without overheating the MWD.

It is still dangerous to bring an Orca into lowsec space or lower, even armed with the cloak trick, because the [[#Countering the Cloak Trick|cloak trick can be countered]]. Alongside the very slow warp speed of an Orca, it's very likely if you are discovered you will be followed and harassed at every gate until you exit dangerous space.
