Cloak trick: Difference between revisions

Line 46:

Ships of all sizes but especially large slow ships are also vulnerable to bumping, meaning if a larger ship is able to "ram" you while you are cloak + aligning, you will uncloak and temporarily be unable to achieve proper alignment. For these reasons, the cloak trick will not provide guaranteed protection in dangerous space or in crowded gates.

~~== Using with Haulers ==~~

The "fast" [[Haulers]] ({{Sh|Sigil}}, {{Sh|Badger}}, {{Sh|Wreathe}}, and {{Sh|Nereus}}) and the {{Sh|Hoarder}} are able to easily fit 50MN MWDs and cloaking devices in addition to their tank and cargohold fittings.

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. As such, don't count on being able to do the cloak trick with these ships without sacrificing cargo capacity and/or tank. If trying to fit, Low slots will need powergrid modules, and some rig slots may be needed for enough powergrid with low engineering skills.
