This technique works best with an [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Improved_Cloaking_Device_II Improved Cloaking Device] and a [[:Category:Eve Lexicon#MWD|Microwarp Drive]] of the correct size for the ship (e.g. 10mn for Cruisers and Industrials).  These are usually placed on the F1 and F2 keys when the pilot believes using the technique will likely be required.
You will need:
* one [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Improved_Cloaking_Device_II Improved Cloaking Device]
* one [[:Category:Eve Lexicon#MWD|Microwarpdrive]] of the correct size for your ship. That is: 1MN for frigates and destroyers, 10MN for cruisers, battlecruisers and industrials, and 100MN for battleships
* the shortcuts for these should be placed somewhere easily accessible, as you will need to hit them pretty quickly


*A Tech 1 [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Prototype_Cloaking_Device_I Prototype Cloaking Device] may be used, but this will result in slightly more time uncloaked.
You should not use:
*An Afterburner or undersized MWD may ''not'' be used, as it will not provide enough of a speed boost. 
* a [http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Prototype_Cloaking_Device_I Prototype Cloaking Device] - although it can help to make some of your align time cloaked, you can't reach the required speed to warp instantly after, so you will spend a few seconds uncloaked
*With the Odyssey 1.1 Tier 1 Industrials rebalancing, "fast-role" industrials (Sigil, Badger, Wreath, Iteron) can now fit 10MN MWD's and Cloaks in addition to their tank and cargohold fittings.<br><br>
* a wrongly-sized microwarpdrive - doesn't give enough velocity bonus
* an afterburner - doesn't give enough velocity bonus
* an Orca - too heavy for the 100MN to provide enough velocity (but see below)
 
With the Odyssey 1.1 industrial rebalancing, "fast-role" industrials (Sigil, Badger, Wreath, Iteron) can now easily fit 10MN MWDs and cloaks in addition to their tank and cargohold fittings.<br><br>
