Why are cloak batteries so stupidly cheap?

[nOmnomnOm]

if we are going to raise the price to "make it harder to use and/or create a money sink" we should go the whole hog and make them take cargo space again

that's even dumber than the former suggestions. Just do what I suggested and keep it at ammo price range, there's no reason to make discovery even more of a chore.

just increase prices and it will be less common for ships to use it or use it sparingly.
give cargo space again would just be a step to killing it. Not making it better.
