Why would the barrel roll rules not apply when decloaking? It literally says "Perform a barrel roll using the [Straight 2] maneuver template." And the rules for barrel rolling state "When a large ship performs a barrel roll, instead of placing the end of the template against the ship's base, place the long side of the template against the ship's base." I'm not seeing why this wouldn't apply in full to a large ship decloaking...

And I'm still not convinced that the added maneuverability would make it somehow uber-competitive. Assuming that you actually had to pay points on the title (if it granted a Cloak), you'd still be less maneuverable and more expensive than a Jumpmaster, and still less flexible than a Lancer. Even the VCX could probably still fly circles around you...

While it's never possible to have every ship be super Tier-1 competitive, I believe that every ship should have a place at the table, and it's no good for the Firespray's only role to be (like the poor T-65), "Toning down my list just because I think it looks cool." The time of Firespray dominance has long since passed; it'd be nice to see them (and the other old-Wave ships) get a little bit of consideration once again.
