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. 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.
