Part of the requirement to make | Part of the requirement to make the microwarpdrive + cloak trick work is to have a size-appropriate microwarpdrive, 5MN for a frigate, 50MN for a cruiser, 500MN for a battleship etc. The {{sh|Orca}} is technically a capital-class sized ship, but can only fit 500MN microwarpdrives due to fitting restraints. As such {{co|crimson|they cannot normally use the microwarpdrive + cloak trick}}. It does however appear that the Orca can use the MWD trick utilizing {{sh|Overheating}} on a Microwarpdrive in order to successfully perform the cloak trick, though this should not be taken as a guarantee of success in all cases | ||
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. | 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. | ||
Some of the smaller capital ships, like carriers and dreadnoughts, can also use the undersized 500MN microwarpdrives to align in ~15 seconds by pulsing the microwarpdrive once then warp shortly after. While they are normally not agile enough to warp in 10 seconds flat, it's usually much faster than aligning normally or through the use of an appropriately sized 50,000MN microwarpdrive due to its cycle time of 20 seconds. | Some of the smaller capital ships, like carriers and dreadnoughts, can also use the undersized 500MN microwarpdrives to align in ~15 seconds by pulsing the microwarpdrive once then warp shortly after.

Freighters are unable to utilize the cloak trick due to not having any high slots, and thus cannot equip a cloak regardless. | |||
