Nomad cloaks have between 40 seconds and 2 minutes charge time (afaik. Not 100% sure anymore since stuff gets changed), yet people successfully use them to escape. I've never seen someone complaining about those. I literally don't know what to tell you at this point.
Not sure if this thread hasn't already degenerated into flood-level territory, but I've had this thought for a while now that it'd be nice to reduce the time between the cloak actually kicking in after charge and the NPCs not shooting you anymore. Preferably to a near instant level.
I'm fairly sure that this can be divorced from the actual visual effect that would potentially still allow players who are being finished off to still be shot (thus not impacting pvp), but it would considerably increase QoL as that would make it possible to start charging cloak at the beginning of most tradelanes and exit without being shot by cap patrols.
