Engage cloaking system

Have a cloaking module that makes your ship invisible.

The cloaking module draws an extreme amount of power so barely any other module will work. So no shield, no weapons, no drones, etc. You would have to chose your sensors carefully so there will be enough power even for them.

Cloaking modules will be illegal in many systems and terrifically expensive.

Using a cloak will involve a charging period, like shields, to get it working.

Any communications you make, such as asking for docking permission or chat, will reveal your location. Getting hit by stay fire will also reveal your location. Such reveals will be temporary.

No, please no stealth cheat's. People already say there is no stealth enough as is, this would be like saying they were right because in reallity it's the laziest stealth mechanic a game can have.

The most realistic thing for cloak is refractive (Or reflective?) mirrors. But I personally think Silent Running is enough. Because Silent running is pretty much like Mass Effect's stealth drive. It keeps in it's heat so sensors can't detect, although in elite's case, you can be scanned, just weapon have difficulty finding you.
