Re: What new abilities would you like to see?
Actually, this is not hard to mod! I've been using this solution to fix the way the same size master computer runs a frigate and a starbase, here's how it works:
1 You make the cloaking device as big as you want for the big ships with appropriate supply usage, etc.
2 You create a series of mounts that make cloaking devices cheaper and smaller and use less supply, but give them all the appropriate maximum size field.
EDIT: Example
Cloaking device costs 5000 minerals, 3000 Rads, uses 100 supply, takes 100kT. Small ship cloak mount reduces cost to 30%, reduces kT space to 30%, reduces kT structure to 30%, reduces supply usage to 30%, has maximum vehicle size of 350kT.
3 The AI uses the lowest applicable mount in the file, so they should go from largest to smallest in this situation.
VOILA!
Hardly ideal, takes a bit of work, but it does do what you're looking for.
