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.

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 considered by some to be a capital-class sized ship, but can only fit a 500MN microwarpdrive. This means MWD/Cloak jumping an Orca is harder, but by no means impossible. The Orca can still use the MWD trick by using {{sh|Overheating}} on a 500MN Microwarpdrive II in combination with good Navigation Skills (Spaceship Command V, Evasive Maneuvering V, Acceleration Control at least IV) and/or agility skill hardwiring implants (Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Evasive Maneuvering and Eifyr and Co. 'Rogue' Acceleration Control). Do not attempt to MWD/Cloak jump your Orca in dangerous space without testing it in safe space first.
