I forgot to post what changes were made last night to the cloaking after we tried having the cloaking use all available energy.
Cloaking now is like it was before, however it uses half of the energy it did before. The big difference is that charging weapons now generates signature, which has the effect of making the k'luth visible for a short period of time after they fire their weapons. The time they are visible depends on how long and how much energy the weapon needs. The AM Torpedo for example, after firing will increase the signature of the ship by 25.0 points, in turn the cloaking device attempts to compensate by pulling more energy to cloak this signature.
