Actually you would get both the target lock and free cloak even if you missed with your attack. Neither ACD nor FCS requires a hit, only an attack.

It is a pricey boat though. The idea is to have a very evasive and hard-to-hit ship that occasionally decloaks for a full shot, but otherwise snapshots and stays cloaked. The problem is snap shot only grants a shot (and thus a cloak & TL) if a foe ends its maneuver in arc at range 1 (without ramming you), so it'd be pretty tricky to stay cloaked that way.

I'd like to give it a few playtests to see if it's viable.
