Cloak trick: Difference between revisions

The other high volume haulers ( {{sh|Bestower}}, {{sh|Tayra}}, {{sh|Kryos}}, {{sh|Epithal}}, {{sh|Miasmos}}, {{sh|Iteron Mark V}} and {{sh|Mammoth}}) don't have the raw powergrid available to fit a 50MN MWD, and without extensive fitting for extra powergrid and higher skills, pilots may not be able to fit them at all. As such, don't count on being able to do the cloak trick with these ships without sacrificing cargo capacity (low slots will need powergrid modules, and even rig slots may be needed for enough powergrid) and lower engineering skills.

=== How does it work? ===
Do these things in this order after jumping through a stargate or wormhole. Although you can do MWD then cloak (or do both at once), it is not recommended as having your MWD active before your cloak is a bad idea due to the signature radius bloom and the likelihood of spending more time uncloaked.
# Hit align to your point of interest.
# Immediately after hit the cloak.
# Immediately after you hit cloak hit your MWD ''(this '''does''' work, you can activate non-offensive modules for 5 seconds after you activate a cloaking device).''
# When your MWD cycle is about 90-95% complete, deactivate your cloak and spam warp to your point of interest.
# The MWD will deactivate automatically, and when it does you will instantly enter warp.
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.
