Developer Notice: Cloak Changes Trial Phase

[SkyNet]

Cloaks are already useless, what do you want more? Before cloaks getting nerfed again or completely disappear from discovery, i want to add that the restriction of these devices would be an option.
Keep in mind that cloaks have always played an important role in FL. Nerfing or deleting them will not fix the problems, or as many people would say "balance out fights". Thats nonsense.
Cloaks giving you a tactical advantage in game, they should, at least. And thats why they are so expensive and hard to get.
I've never seen a game before where a cloaking sequence can be disrupted or the cloak itself wasting tons of fuel. "With the exception of Discovery"

Cloaking Devices bend EM radiation to render a ship invisible to most sensors. There is no known countermeasure to the effect, however it does require taking the shields offline, and there is a short period (see below) before the cloaking device takes effect.

A quote of the description of a cloaking device, according to the wiki.
And there shouldn't be a countermeasure to this effect. But there should be a scanner to discover or uncover cloaked ships in a specific range. Also a new and very expensive toy.

Disabling the chat while being cloaked is just another pitiful try to make cloakers mad and reduce the amount of cloakers in game. If that is the reason why all people curse them and they get nerfed every single time, then you should realy think about it to limit them to officals and SRP's only.

In short:

• Infinite or fuel efficient cloaks for official factions
  
• Normal or no cloaks for indies
  
• Cloak scanner for all
  
• Cloak effect no longer disturbable
  
• Enabled chat for cloaked ships
