I hate when I'm playing the stealth ship or ship i get stealth with because sometimes I just jump then when i jump im on a 4-1 sec cooldown i get hit. Cant you just refresh the stealth between jumps so we don't have to wait... it sucks sometimes i take unnecessary damage because i forget and want to mash other ships not thinking of cooldowns other than that great game.

Of course not. That would remove the penalty for jumping out of combat. And the penalty for jumping before checking the cloak is ready. I have to stop doing that btw
I just click jump then spend some time deciding the next beacon... then hop and #$^%&^ the cloak isnt ready and i'm facing Zoltan or Mantis. doh!

Eh, waiting for the cloak to charge is basically a waste of time. I don't think it is a test of skill to just wait at the end of an encounter. I'm with OP, cloak should refresh any time the jump engines also refresh without having to wait.

They could just make it refresh instantly when combat is finished, exactly the same way the teleporter works.

Aimlessly waiting for the cloaking is stupid and breaks the flow of such a great game.
If anything, the teleporter should be the thing that shouldn't cool down automatically. It can unfairly save your boarders from low oxygen or fires (which can also explode ships). Also powering it up more makes it charge faster.

There's another topic about this, and if cloak insta-filled it would get rid of those treasured "OH GOD THEY'VE GOT FIVE SHIELDS AND SO MANY POWERFUL WEAPONS AND I HAVE NO CLOAK!" moments. As for the teleporter instantly charging, they're kind of different things, but I don't know as I don't actually use cloak.
