This method relies on fitting an '''Improved Cloaking Device II''' and a '''microwarpdrive''' to allow you to be cloaked while aligning, minimizing the time you're actually visible on grid. This is commonly referred to as the '''MWD + cloak trick''', see [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bVi1CWcbSUE Seamus Donohue's video] for more information.

In order to use the microwarpdrive and cloak you'll need to train {{sk|High Speed Maneuvering|III|mult=yes}} and {{sk|Cloaking|III|mult=yes}} and use the appropriately sized microwarpdrive for your ship class. Frigates use the 5MN-variant, cruisers the 50MN-variant and battleships the 500MN-variant. ~~Since~~ there are ~~no 5~~,000MN-variants, certain ships like [[Orca]]s and [[Bowhead]]s ~~(and other capital ships)~~ can only fit "undersized" 500MN Microwarpdrives. As such they are limited to using them only as a means to align in 10 seconds flat (see above). They cannot combine their microwarpdrive with a cloak to do this trick, as they will simply not be able to accelerate fast enough.

While there are 50,000MN-variants for capital ships, certain ships like [[Orca]]s and [[Bowhead]]s can only fit "undersized" 500MN Microwarpdrives due to powergrid restrictions. As such they are limited to using them only as a means to align in 10 seconds flat (see above). They cannot combine their microwarpdrive with a cloak to do this trick, as they will simply not be able to accelerate fast enough.

The main risk of this method is messing up the cloak and getting locked before you manage to get your cloak up, which would make it impossible for you to cloak up. It's also possible for people to burn towards your location and decloak you before you've managed to align. Having a '''Warp Core Stabilizer I''' or two might save you from a lone enemy with just a long point, but for that to be useful you'll need to be able to warp away before anyone else shows up with a second or third point, or a scram.
