6. 2. Cloak

The Cloaking device hides the pilots ships from other ships in sector with them.
Being Cloaked doesn't mean that you are truly invincible, just that anyone who is the same level as yourself or has a lower level can not attack you.
A cloaked ship in a sector with out anyone else in it will show a "Shadow" in the current sector screen.
Cloak is only effective against someone who is a lower level than the cloaked ship. A level 20 person can hide from a level 19 person, but be seen by a level 21 person.
A cloaked person In Sector with an alliance mate that is not cloaked can still be attacked with their ally, although they can not be targetted themselves.
If you enter a sector an are uncloaked, another ship in that sector can pull up an attack screen on you even if you recloak.
