I don't take any PvP balance in account here, since I have not the expertise to do such.
I am going to repeat my question first:

I did ask this, because if that was the case you could easily fly whole trade routes with minor stops to restock the ammo without having to interact with anyone.
A Zoner Whale could basically sacrifice less than 1/10 of his cargo space to be "unpiratable" vice versa a smuggling transport could become "untouchable" by lawfuls if he sacrificed 450 cargo space.
Since I believe there was no price named yet (or I missed it) for the ammo, I hope the price is adjusted well enough to prevent that or the sell locations are indeed limited - well, or something else is in place, which I am not aware of.
On another note I feel like this change doesn't do much for freighters, since the cargo-space you'd have to sacrifice would still be way too much to make it even a viable option for freighter pilots (200 cargo space is more than 1/3 on almost every freighter), it's obviously a better alternative than it is now, but I feel it is still too much of a trade-off considering the general low profit you can make with a freighter to begin with.
To be fair: probably noone flies a freighter to min-max his income, but I wanted to mention it nonetheless.
I understand that cloaks are generally used for PvP activities, but I thought I might still throw in my two cents with a perspective on activities aside of PvP.
Cheers.
tl;dr: Might be too strong for transports (especially as bigger the cargo gets), still not really a viable option on freighters aside from pure RP-freighters.
