Note that the More Thrust cloaking rules has a very serious problem: the
cloaked ship does _not_ get any kind of feedback as to whether or not he
made
an error in his orders. I played them and my opponent made a simple
error on
the first turn: he wrote an "S" for starboard instead of a "P" for port.
The
rest of his cloaked maneuvers were based on that error. When he
decloaked and
moved his ships, he found he was nowhere near where he thought he was.
His
fleet was pretty much toasted. The cost of the cloak was seriously over
priced
for what he got, and probably even if he hadn't made the mistake.
