There was some discussion that the stealth armor cloak should be different from the cloaking device cloak. This may be too big a fix for a patch, but maybe its time to revisit it. It often confuses a newbie that they have to turn it on. Maybe it should always be on with some sort of hard code flag for whether its there or not instead of turning it on and off.

But sometimes it's bad to be cloaked. Like when you want the cloaked ship to attack and you don't have any other uncloaked ships in the sector.

Sometimes it's deadly to be cloaked: minesweepers can't sweep mines if cloaked and will be killed by a minefield.
