Why should it be possible to cloak entire fleets?
Not saying it shouldn't, just that that's an assumption that might be worth examining....

The results of logic, of natural progression? Boring! An expected result? Dull! An obvious next step? Pfui! Where is the fun in that? A dream may soothe, but our nightmares make us run!

You wouldn't be cloaking an entire fleet. You would be cloaking each individual ship in the fleet.Flatfingers wrote:Why should it be possible to cloak entire fleets?

You wouldn't have an entire fleet made up of scout ships with the largest engines and smallest guns, unless you want to go that route.
The point is, if you have to perform a constant action to keep something 'working', then it is only advantageous to the enemy. Clicking a "Keep me cloaked" button would be analogous to a "Keep me moving forward" button for scout ships.
