That makes sense, thanks Dracus.

...but if you cloak with stealth armor then the queue won't be cleared until you pop-up a component... with cloaking device the queue is cleared the next turn, ok. It would make more sense to restrict access to the build queue if you are cloaked.

I not sure, but I think the idea of stealth armor was to work more like the way a stealth bomber works. (yet may not correctly work this way in the game.) The armor would hide you from sensors but if you were in eye sight of the ship You would see it. So it truely is not cloaked. A cloaking device would use a large amount of energy and therefore most everything else would have to run on min power. (ie cloaking in star trek) So when you enter combat, to power your defenses, you have to turn off the cloak. Maybe using the
emergeny component draws a large amount of energy. This may be why you can build with ships that have stealth armor. The ship is not suppose to be truely hidden. But when you use the emergy component, it draws some underlining resource that we don't actually see from the yard and therefore they scrap the project.
