It's me again, I have reviewed the Posts and FAQ's I can find and still am not really convinced of the effectiveness of cloaking.

I use it against the AI with a decent record of success, though I tend to equip my ships with scanner jammers as well.

Is cloaking a powerful enough technology that it can stand alone? Or should I support my cloaked ships with scanner jammers as I have been doing?

Cloaking is very effective until your enemy develops the technology to scan your ships. You can whoop some butt if your enemy does not have the scanners to detect you.

Scanner Jammers I don't use. Due to the fact that if you put them on your war ships your enemy will see your designs in the 'enemy ship' screen. But of course you are playing the AI so yeah... But they are a waste even against the AI if you ask me. I may be mistaken but thats the way I feel about it.

Edit: TerranC beat me to it.
