Cloaking: Difference between revisions

Line 72:

While you are cloaked the cloak will apply 75% speed penalty but at the same time the MWD boosts your speed by 500%. As a result your ship is able to reach at minimum 75% of its unmodified top speed in the ten seconds of single MWD cycle while cloaked. And since you hit align before the cloak you will be aligned and at warp speed when the cloak drops. So when you deactivate the cloak (right before the MWD cycle is complete) the ship is able to enter warp immediately. This equals near insta-warp. With practice, you can be uncloaked for literally less than a second total on a gate. Practice in high-sec and you will find this is actually pretty easy and effective.

Part of the requirement to make the the microwarpdrive + cloak trick work is to have a size-appropriate ~~microwwarpdrive~~, 5MN for a frigate, 50MN for a cruiser, 500MN for a battleship etc. Ships like the {{sh|Orca}} or the {{sh|Bowhead}} are technically capital-class sized but can only fit 500MN microwarpdrives due to fitting restraints. As such {{co|crimson|they can not use the microwarpdrive + cloak trick}}.

For normal capital ships (carriers, dreadnoughts, force auxiliaries, supercarriers, titans and the {{sh|Rorqual}}) there are capital sized 50,000MN microwarpdrives, that can allow them to do the same microwarpdrive + cloak trick, although they have a cycle-time of 20 seconds (instead of the usual 10 seconds) and might require additional agility modules to ensure they get the speed up in time.
