Ecvej, we've been having a spirited debate regarding certain pickups over in Tara's. The short form is this.
hypering while cloaked is a new feature that's been added. The old version of the game had a PU that would cloak the receiver.
It was asked if someone who got that PU would be able to hyper cloaked. The consensus on that is that if the ship isn't a cloaker, they decloak automatically when hypering, as in the old version of the game.
There is a argument for no-cloaking PU's at all. Which I'm fine with. just thought I'd sum it up here.

Re: Pickups
No plans to put a cloak pickup in atm. I'm coding the game to run how it was originally, hence why bombers get the old scoring of level x 100. Once that's done we can decide which of the changed features we want but I doubt cloak pickup will be popular with the way cloakers now act.
