Talk:Cloaking Device/@comment-212.121.145.5-20160208102628

Useless. People who are excited about this probably forget 2 things. This takes your action for the round. And more importantly: When you are cloaked you cannot attack. And since the Advanced Cloaking Device (The modification that makes cloaking great) is TIE Phantom only this means you can only alternate on turns where you are cloaked and where you can attack, you cannot have both benefits unlike the Phantom.

So you can use it for some maneuver shenanigans doing a distance 2 barrel roll and some extra boosts, but it is not reliable because of the dice dependency. All in all it is not really worth the 2 points.
