cloaking is good early on , after that...no point IMO. its too easy to detect and it just drives up the cost and build times on ships. IMO the game needs to add levels to cloaking.

Dreadnought
Size cost build times are decent. Not too slow when it has solar sails and q3 engines. Baseships are slugs in space and slow down a fleet.

qIII - best engine and cheaper than q1 or q2
Always add solar sails

training - always. Need the combat bonuses.
