This feels like a touchy subject...

On the tactical side of things, it makes perfect sense from an in-character perspective to de-cloak right on top of someone to forcibly jump them to somewhere far away.
Buuut.
On the fairness side of things, being able to de-cloak on someone and forcibly jump them feels incredibly unfair, especially if they're left in a system far from home.

To play devil's advocate, it's tactically unsound to have a fear of being cloak-jumped while not equipping yourself to counter this. In my eyes, the Order is the faction for nomad hunting. Cloak disruptors should be standard equipment for them - in fact I would even go so far as to allow the Order to purchase cloak disruptors from npc vendors, much like how nomads may purchase cloaks from their own npc vendors. This I feel, would make them feel threatening to nomad players again. Not to mention, the Order has the Resheph, which can mount a disruptor and still maintain 3 CM launchers no problem. Alternatively, the Grizzly can be used for this same purpose to possibly greater effect - only light fighters would be able to escape a Grizzly's pursuit. If such a Cloak Disruptor were implemented, it would require it's own tech cell, so that only the Order could use them.

In my personal opinion, if you're going to cloak-gank someone, be it by actually shooting them or jump-driving them, you should be required to wait 20-30 seconds from the time of your first FULL sentence of RP before de-cloaking next to your intended victim. To me, that feels like a reasonable amount of time, especially if there's the chaos of 8+ people RP'ing all at once. That gives the defending party time to react and fire off cloak disruptors. 10 seconds is... Rather too fast in the spirit of fairness; again, that's just my own opinion, but I have an old-school mindset about me.

As a side note, adding to Foxglove's voice here: It would be nice to at least see Reshephs being granted the ability to travel around house space without ZoI limitations. After all, there should be a reason they call it the Reconnaissance cruiser. With it being a small, light cruiser, it doesn't have nearly as much destructive potential as say, most of the House cruiser vessels. I always loved the Resheph as a potential RP platform, but never had the time to invest in an SRP Sirius-wide version, nor the time to invest climbing Order| ranks to obtain one.

Blah, sorry for the wall-o-text.
