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

=== 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.
