Cloaking powertraders is a bad thing, I agree. But what I'd really want to see is active evasion in a way. Transport or freighter full of contraband, you spot a cop, you turn your ship around, hit the cloak, guy starts closing in, you stealth up, sneak by. Doesn't have to be enough to get you through an entire system in my mind, but enough to ditch the cops and get out if you can spot them before they scan you.
But if freighter cloaks take up 200 cargo and transport cloaks use cargo using batteries, I dunno how this would work.
