I will play in whatever format you choose. That said here are my comments.
1. Go with 1 month allowing the occasional extension or 45 days before jumping to 2 month. I'd stick at 1 for now.

The collection of rules Mike put together really tracks SFB cloak about as well as FC can manage.
ESGs, by the way, again taking SFB as a guidepost, should most definitely not void the cloak for al ... |

My thoughts are that while I agree there should be no speed restrictions, I am not really fussed about it. Let me go to SFB functionality to explain why.

Lee,
In SFB the damage reduction from cloak looks like this:

There are two significant problems with cloak. The power cost is not one of them.
