== The MWD/Prototype Cloak Trick: ==

~~There is a lot of misinformation on the forums and in-game about the "cloak/MWD trick." Here is the straight deal from the Dooobles.~~

=== Why? ~~(Porque?!)~~ ===

=== Why? ===

Because you want to be able to remain uncloaked for less than .5 seconds so a lucky interceptor doesn't lock you before you can cloak. By "lucky interceptor" I mean the OCD intie pilots who sit on gates with point and sensor boosters hot waiting for something to jump through so they can click it.

=== What? ~~(Do wuhat?)~~ ===

=== What? ===

This is a trick that will cloak you while you align to something after jumping through a gate and then let you almost instantly warp the second you break cloak.

=== Bonus pro-tip side note: ===

You can use the same mwd trick to accelerate a big ship (say an orca or rorqual) to warp speed without the cloak involved. Align, pulse the MWD ONCE (and once only, just click it twice in a row) and warp in 10 seconds instead of 30. You could do the cloak thing, but you'll have to see the specifics on how to time dropping the cloak and it may require more time uncloaked at the end of the MWD cycle to get to just the right speed. The cloak trick requires a tad more practice but makes annoying acceleration waits *slightly* less annoying and a little safer.

~~Convo Dooobles in-game with your questions but this is pretty straightforward.~~
