Not quite, since it doesn't drain ship's energy like cruise mode and lasts inifinite amount of time, it'll be rather useful for an ambush, like Mk2A cloaks are.
But it will be truly powerful only in K'Hara's hands, since they have access to battleships and cruisers, where cloaks will be used for ambush tactics. (on battleships - same as Mk2A, on cruisers - cause Nomad cruiser cloak is not as useless as Mk2 is.).
Gunboats, for example, are not capable of using Nomad Cloaks even with Au8 - you only have 260 free cargo space on NomGunboat after you install guns, shield and thruster. (if i'm not mistaken, medium cloaks take 250 cargo?). edit: nvm, found it, it may use au8, since cloak takes way less cargo.
Making them drain ship's energy like in cruise mode will make them only usable to lurk around undetected, and will make them rather useless for both offense and escape. It might be a viable option, due to their infinite duration, but gunboats may use a cargo space increase, then.
