Summary	0021635: The AI Tachyon Sentinel doesn't affect 99% of cloaked ships
Description	It's pretty useless at stopping human cheese. The Sentinel only affects ships with less than 0.65 albedo Cloaked ships with albedo > 0.65 (variants grouped with each other): Space Plane, Mirage Eyebot Raptor Autocannon Minipod, Gunbot Agravic Pod Vampire Claw, Vicious Vampire Claw, Absorber Etherjet, Ensnarer Etherjet, Thief Ghost Concussion Corvette Ghost Grenade Launcher Corvette Ghost Sniper Cloaked ships with albedo <= 0.65: Aggressor ............... Yeah, just the Aggressor. I realize maybe you want to keep all the cloaked ships around the same Albedo to have a counter for them, but the only way for the AI to uncloak your ships is the Sentinel Gunboat, Gravity Guardians, Tractor Guardians, and the Overlord (might be missing one or two other ones). Cloaked ships just wreck the AI, especially with the current cloak point regen bug I posted a short while ago.
