How do you turn Cloaking on when installed on a ship or base?

Anything that can cloak will have the Cloak icon lit when that vehicle is selected. (It's the ship with a circle around it, between Scrap Facility and Use Component.) A cloaked vehicle will have the Uncloak icon lit (ship without circle, just below Cloak). IIRC, both commands are hotkey Z.

Can you have more than 1 Repair Bay on a ship or base?

Yes.

Quote:

If you can have more than one - do the effects stack or does it repair more than one ship/base at a time?

Both Repair Bays and Construction Yards stack; more than one ship can be repaired if there's enough total capacity to finish one ship's repairs. [ Edit ] Oh, and racial/cultural modifiers to Repair apply to the combined total, not the individual components/facilities.

Quote:

Typically - a repair ship has to fleet with a ship. However - since we can't fleet bases with ships in 1.78 - can bases with repair bays still repair ships?

This is incorrect; the repair ship/base/shipyard doesn't have to be in a fleet, just in the same sector.

Isn't it curious that a shipyard (construction) component will stack (more than 1 on a ship) - but you can only have one SY/planet?

No, no. The Repair ability of the spaceyards will stack.

You are only allowed one spaceyard per ship, but you can have spaceyard + repair bay.

IIRC you can't have more than 1 SY per ship, but you can have more than one RB..... REpair stacks, not builds.

EDIT> I'm typing too slow SJ....

Ah! Hmmm ... maybe you'd better send me some of what you're smoking?

I think SJ meant 1 spaceyard per planet...

Edit [Or is it also 1 space yard per ship?]
