Short answer: to my knowledge a quadjumper can't perma-cloak and equip bombs.

See this post for the exploit where you stay cloaked forever and, instead of attacking, just spacetug and slicer tool foes.

But that's incompatible with bomblets. You could cloak with bomblets using Cad Bane as your crew, but you'd not have Cikatro Vizago to get rid of cloaking device, so there's a risk each round of losing your cloak.

Equipping a different bomb and replacing cloaking device with Scavenger Crane using Cikatro is another option, though something has to die each time you want to refresh your bombs, and the crane itself can break too. So not overly amazing.

Here are a couple of example builds.

Overall, keep in mind that all cloaking does is give you +2 agility and keep you from attacking. Enemies can still shoot at you, and with 4 agility and no action (because you're using it on spacetug, for example) you can still be chopped up. So don't invest *too* many points; quadjumpers are sometimes at their best when kept really cheap, so they're not tempting targets. With a raw 5 hull they're delicate, and any crit that gets through could be  a real kick to the head. If you do go with cloaking, do so to make your harassment quadjumper less tempting than your heavy-hitters... or to make him tempting but time-consuming to kill, so targeting him becomes a trap.

I hope that helps. Enjoy!
