While the change is alright, it'd be better to allow them to RP while cloaked. This essentially ruins the whole cloak ambush plan, as now the nomad has to uncloak, RP first (which is gonna take time as nomspeak isn't as easy), and then shoot, giving way too much time to the target to react. Nomads are supposed to be a constant threat and force you to always be on your guard while they're in the same system. Now, even if you hear the cloaking sound you can just sit afk and wait for him to uncloak because you know he can't do anything to you.
Edit: My point was if all other IDs can RP while cloaked (for at least 30 seconds, giving the target sufficient time) and then uncloak + open fire immediately, why couldn't the Nomads too? After all, they are supposed to be more advance and all that.
