	The Cloaking Field is an Alien defense system that disrupts the detectors of missiles or weapon control systems. Effectively this means that the craft is almost invisible to radar, infra-red and visual sighting. It is very effective but the field must be disabled temporarily if the craft is using any of its own weapons systems.

One device per craft is sufficient.

	~~While [[Alien Ships (Apocalypse)\|UFO types]] 6, 7 and 8 make good use of the Cloaking Field against X~~-~~COM, the Cloaking Field's unwieldy size of 3x4 and its research prerequisite of the [[Large Disruption Shield]] make it rather difficult for X~~-~~COM~~ to ~~employ the device. Only the [[Hawk Air Warrior]], [[Bio~~-Trans]], [[Retaliator]] and [[Annihilator]] can equip a Cloaking Field, and all must give up 800 points worth of [[Small Disruption Shield\|shielding]] for the privilege. Moreover, a typical fighter loadout of multiple beam weapons will render the cloak nearly useless, as the rapid fire rate of these weapons will prevent the cloak from re-~~engaging. Cloaking an unarmed [[Bio-Trans]] isn't the worst of ideas, but otherwise, shielding is generally superior.~~		<!-- links to relevant craft soon -->

	~~Tactics for engaging cloaked UFOs are simple - don't use missiles, since they won't work. Instead, use beam weapons such as the [[Lineage Plasma Cannon]] and [[Medium Disruptor Beam]].~~

	~~See [[Alien Tech Levels (Apocalypse)\|Alien Tech Levels]] for information on when Cloaking Fields will begin to be used.~~

	~~An Annihilator with Cloaking Field is almost impervious to standard hoverbikes and hovercars You can use this to [[Jasonred79's Guide to Making Friends with Corporations for FREE\|bait the defenders]]~~
