This thread was started on a completely invalid argument of a guy sitting afk in Omicrons with 5 nomads in the system including a Marduk, deliberately not moving when hearing the cloaking sound, and then opening fire at the Marduk first as soon as he uncloaked, before even got to do his nomspeak. Of course that at that point there's no time to type anything and the Marduk has to defend himself.
On the topic of infinite cloaks, as @"Snoopy" stated - if nomads could RP while cloaked again (like every other faction in the game) then yeah, I don't mind them being removed. In that case it'd be fair for them to have at least 30 minutes of cloak.
Also, cloak disruptors. They are ridicolously strong at the moment. Having a single one on any capital ship stops any possibility of uncloaking on someone because of the huge range buff (Disrupt range is greater than the cloaking sound range). Even on snubs it's not that bad with spammable cooldown and the mobility to be able to move from spot to spot if you miss a disrupt after you've heard the cloaking sound. Really no excuse, especially in the Omicrons where a cloak disruptor is a mandatory.
