Cloaks

Here's another thought for your wonderful mod.

Cloaks.

They seem to cheap and too easy to defeat. What if much fewer ships had them, and either there was no anti-cloaking technology, or it was really expensive?

That would make cloaking have the same feel as the show - a very powerful differentiator.

If anti-cloaking technology were really expensive, I would put it on a few of the bigger support ships, not the little jobs. I know this is counter our Warcraft roots, but it makes more sense according to the show.

You are right, cloak is to weak.
therefore in the next beta the scout vessels will loose their tachion detection grid, so there is only tachion detection on stationary objects. perhaps the research costs will be increased as well
