Default Do cloaks work?


I've tried putting class 2 cloaks on small explorer ships also equipped with quantum reactors (but no stealth armor), then sending them out to scout enemy territory. Even though the enemy lacks scanners they find these ships like they had beacons attached to them and shoot them down. Can someone give me some tips on how to use cloaking devices and stealth armor effectively?

Someone mentioned on another thread the idea that destroying the leader of an enemy fleet paralyses the remaining ships. I've found that if the enemy fleet is large enough this isn't true, but once I wgittle the fleet down to the Last one or two ships, they stop moving sometimes.
