[Q]

Alpha Kodiak I strongly recommend you not to use cloaking if you put minesweeping components on the attack ships. They will not work if the ship is cloaked (see separate topic on this forum)! I saw the Rage build quite a few cloaked minesweepers and some of them were lost in the minefields withour sweeping any mines and the others were killed by the enemy because they had sensors that made the cloaking ineffective.
Generally I find cloaking to easy to be countered by recon satellites and I therefore use it seldom, but this is really a matter of taste.
