Manteau Cloaking Device

Concept:
The Manteau Cloaking Device is the most recent development by Felicity Willing on behalf of Franz' Rousse request to provide him with a better alternative that is more practical than the Sirian Devices. The Manteau was built on the base of a normal Cloaking Device, using the same technology but with an extended fuel storage. The basic concept consists of the device using waves to interact with the EM radiation around a ship, making it disappear from the scanning systems of most ships that are currently within the Hackers Database.
First cloaking devices in Sirius have been developed roughly twenty years ago in the times preceding the chain of events now known as the Nomad War, in Rheinland. The construction haven't been changed much since then, and, as back then, their main issue is their energy inefficiency, given they are consuming the specific batteries at a constantly high rate.
Efficiency increase in ensured by the injection of additional magnetic superconductors and optical fibers from the disassmbled optronic arrays - all serving the purpose of significantly bolstering the efficiency of device's energy consumption through decreasing the time required for energy to reach the EM field generator, thus decreasing the energy loss on the way.
Software will be altered to take into consideration once the vessel it will be installed on is delivered to the workspace aboard of Pacifica.

The device looks identical to a standard Sirian Cloaking device used by the people who field them. The idea of making the device less fuel-intense was not feasible and will require more research on a different base module.

Additional Notes:
The device still forces the shield systems to be put offline to active, to make sure that everything is working as intended. Due to that, caution is advised about the timing of activating and deactivating the cloak, as it also requires the Shield-Systems to be put on manually after deactivating the device.

Fuel consumption: The injection of additional superconductors and optical fibers allowed increased efficiency compared to Sirian counterpart, decreasing the consumption rate to roughly 3 batteries per second.
Power Usage: 250u
Time to Cloak: 10 seconds
Cooldown Time: 120 seconds
Fuel storage: 1000 Units

The current Version of the Manteau Device can only be used on the XJ-3 Minuit, as it has been designed and crafted exactly for the ships re-designed systems.
