Cloak bug

[Mímir]

As an example, a small cloak on my pirate bomber allows for me to run cloaked for ~30 seconds. In effect I use that when the lawful gankforce show, and I know I will be blasted to dust. Being a traditional lane-hugging pirate, I don't get a heads-up on new forces arriving at the scene, because they pop out of the lane right next to me. Utilizing the scanning "bug", my escape will be nigh impossible or I would have to be very very lucky.

The same goes with military engagements, where the cloak can be used for hit-and-run guerilla tactics, picking out a solitary target and running when reinforcements arrive.

If fuel consumption was tweaked differently, I could instead use my cloak to hide and set up ambushes in places where the traders least expect it. I wouldn't be able to count on running like I have been so far using cloaks, but an "ambush cloak" would give me the option of picking the battle (as I can stay cloaked and avoid ships with escorts etc.).
