Summary0005043: modules on a cloaked low powered ship are invulnerable and 100% operational
DescriptionMy friend and I have been grinding our way through a 53 hour game and have stumbled across a severely unbalanced strategy.
you need:
1 cloaker starship
1 or more spire ship larger than frigate or a riot control starship.
at least one module built on the starship.

once the module is built, you set your cloaker starship somewhere in range of the enemy, put you spire/riot starship in low power mode and park it next to the cloaker starship. congratulations you've now made an invulnerable damage dealing group (unless you get decloaked or hit by stray area of effect shots)

apparantly the module ignores the low power mode for attacking, but is protected from any and all direct or reflected fire due to the spire/riot ship being cloaked and untargetable. you can even give orders to the module and use these two ships to take out every single ai planet in the game. (as long as you don't get decloaked or caught in area of effect shots not aimed at you)

should be a perfect example in the main enemy frontline system, just look for the group of cloaked riot starships just next to the wormhole swarmed by 3k enemy ships
