Default What is possible while Cloaked?

If a ship is cloaked, what abilities can it use/not use?
Sweeping, Unit launching, Stellar Manip, Remote mining, construction, etc?
Does it use Supplies only when engaged/disengaged, or is it a constant per turn usage?
Thanks.

AFAIK, its the same as SEIV: constant per-turn usage and you can't do much of anything except move around.

My first game I fitted out a drone with a cloaking device and the ability to generate supplies. I had cloaked drones moving through enemy space watching everything they did.

I'm pretty sure you can:

- do cargo orders like load/unload/transfer and launch/recover; great for mine or sat layers.

- repair, but not construct.

... it worries me when you ask questions like this.
I guess I better make sure I've got a level or two of sensor tech and some ships floating around with it.

I can confirm that, at least in Balance Mod, if your ship has a Quantum Reactor for supply, it WILL NOT resupply while your cloak is on. Not a point until you end/start the turn de-cloaked.
