Errr... wait a sec here. If I have a fleet of say 10 cloakable ships, and I turn on the cloak on 2 of the ships, ....
...If any of your units in a sector are detected by enemies in that sector, combat will occur and include all your units in that sector, even if some of them are cloaked. ... Thus, you can have a cloaked defense fleet over your planet to ambush attackers, for instance.
Story time:
I had a small, superhigh-tech empire. Two colonized systems, but every one terraformed to perfection. Eight active military ships, half of them undergoing repairs at any one time.
A phong attack breached my minefield to the north, at the same time as a Jreanar force came through in the south. Since there was only one phong dreadnaught, I sent my $100,000 (mineral) dreadnaught out to crush it, while the rest of my active military fought back the Jreanar.
When I entered the sector, and began combat with the one Phong, nine more cloaked Dreadnaughts were waiting
.
An epic battle later, the Phong fleet was decimated, and my Dreadnought was disabled. The 30 turns ended, a pair of battlecruisers came to clean up the remains, and my dreadnaught limped home.
