So how you type in coordinates? I couldn't figure it out, and when we tried to blind jump, it couldn't charge up because we didn't type the coordinates.
Also the cloak takes cargo space, plus the space you need for fuel, makes it impractical to fly with one just to avoid piracy.
EDIT: And the cloak takes the slot of the countermeaseures, if you don't have one, you can't mount any cloak, and most(all?) transport with more than 4k cargo space have no CMs
1. Cloak
2. Pull up to tradelane
3. Examine cargo of all ships that pass
4. Uncloak shoot tradelane
5. Make demand while weapons recharge
The amount of fuel cloak takes up 1 unit per second... 80% of pirates are in snubs so those 1-5 points can't happen with them and even a GB can only do a few minutes.
