o hi nomads can't have cloaks

[Hidamari]

You know it's rather infeasible that even with photosynthesis, they'd be able to gather enough energy at any one time to cloak themselves both optically and render themselves undetectable to sensory mechanisms whilst still being able to perform respiration/transpiration/whateverthehelltheydotoreleasewaste, right?

you realise that the human cloak is a very inefficient derivative of the nomad one, photosynthesis is used to gather energy, not your weekly groceries, its part of the nomad bodily functions to be able to cloak, they dont need a physical consumed "fuel" to power themselves, because, they are not humans, or mammals or any kind of life form you can possibly compare them to, so how do you know what can and cant be?

PS: Even though photosynthesis is a method to gather food, it doesn't inherently make their ships giant solar panels capable of converting said food/minerals directly back to energy that can be USED for that kind of thing.

no it doesn't, but they are so efficient it doesn't need to be, just because they can cloak naturally doesn't mean they do it all the time, when they need to they can.
