F1 is disconnecting from the server, which is forbidden if you are in a player interaction. You can apologize for it in the thread for that though. Cloaks are a ship device created on Player-owned Bases which can, using fuel and having a long charging time, which can be interrupted by CDs, hide your ship from scanners and the view of players.

What we have now.
1) You cant attack without Roleplay, so that way wont work.
You can attack with cloaks, just write a few lines about who you'll attack and why, that's usually enough. People do it rather often, as long as you write something before killing someone it's ok.

No, that's not the only reason. And the only cloak that works reliably at this is the light cloak, because it only charges 3 seconds. It has a very small cloaking time though, so you have to be quick when leaving the area. The others simply have too much charge time and can be disrupted by CDs.

That's a valid use for cloak, yes.

I think point 3 is best suited for use cloaks. Due to this i assume, that we should add to rules F1 = Escape by cloak.
I am not even sure how you got to this point. There is a giant difference between F1 and cloaking devices. F1ing in combat or interaction is and should be sanctionable. Of course it is not always preventable, due to internet loss or something else, but if that happens you can still apologize.
