== The MWD/Prototype Cloak Trick: ==


=== Why? ===
=== Purpose ===
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.   
Avoid being targeted after jumping through a gate.<br><br>  


=== What?  ===
=== What is it?  ===
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.
This is a technique that enables pilots to cloak while you aligning after jumping through a gate. When done properly, this allows the pilot to almost instantly warp the second he breaks cloak.<br><br>

* When your MWD cycle is about 90% complete you drop cloak and spam warp to your point of interest.

Because the MWD boosts your (cloaked) speed by 500% for one cycle while you are cloaked you will end up at right around warp speed when you deactivate the cloak (right before the MWD cycle is complete.)  Since you hit align before the cloak you will be aligned and at warp speed when the cloak drops.  This equals near insta-warp.  Verily, if you practice this 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.
