a cloak room
Cloaking increases your ships evade by 60% and prevents it from being targeted by enemy weapons or drones(except boarding drone). Combined with engines and piloting it is possible to have 100%+ chance to evade, although anything above 100 is just as effective as 100%.
While cloaked, the enemy's weapons do not charge at all. The same effect applies to you while an enemy is cloaked. This means that it is usually best to activate your cloak immediately after the enemy fires their weapons; this will cause the shot to almost certainly miss, and then drastically delay their next shot. This can effectively give you a 2-volley advantage over the enemy.
Firing weapons while cloaked will remove some of the duration, causing you to be revealed sooner. The Stealth Weapons augmentation negates this penalty.
After coming out of cloak, the system is temporarily shut down (as if by ion damage). Cloaking for longer also increases the time it takes to reactivate the system. If the enemy is shooting fast volleys (such as the power surge of the boss' second and third forms), it may be better to keep the Cloak system on a lower power level so that it is available during each volley.
