Optional rules to revamp cloaking

[ekolis]

Describe the feature you'd like to see
Cloaking will now work as an asymptotic function. You add up all the cloak ratings of all your cloaking devices, divide by your ship's mass (including any cargo it might be carrying, of course), and feed it into the function. The function will map a 100% ratio to 50% cloaking and an infinite ratio to 100% cloaking. I believe this would be an arctan function, similar to population growth or the Star Trek TNG warp scale.

This will be an optional rule which can be toggled in game setup.

Benefits
Cloaking as it stands is problematic: bigger ships are better at cloaking than smaller ships, because they have more hull slots and mass. This proposal will fix that. It will no longer be beneficial to install armor to improve the cloaking of cargo ships, and smaller ships that install one cloaking device will be better cloaked than larger ships that install one cloaking device.

I'd never thought of this because I rarely use cloaking. But the best cloaked ship I ever did was the "Spyroloid" which used MT tech to get ridiculous speed, but also incredible cloak levels.
