Exactly Neils, I think you get what I'm saying. I think true cloaking is unnecessarily far-fetched and could introduce rendering problems. Which avatars are allowed to see the ship? Can you see it if you're inside the shield?
I feel if the heat sinks' capacity were judged correctly, it would provide the proper limitations. A large ship would dump so much power that no cloaking shield could absorb it; it would then start filling up the buffer at a substantial rate. You could dedicate lots of volume to the hold, to stock up on heat sinks, but that would reduce your effectiveness in other areas. And even then, you'd burn through them pretty quick, and you'd have to return to a well-stocked supply base to get more.
