Gather Intelligence Cloaked

I'm enjoying the new intel ships but there really isn't much use for their gather intelligence function in its current implementation. It would be both thematically and practically more useful to allow use of the gather intelligence ability while cloaked, with the expose vulnerability ability dropping cloak.

I don't believe it would be too much of an issue for the pvpers because you can both see the stacks on yourself, and it would require skill to time an alpha strike perfectly with the small window of expose whilst maintaining a 10km distance from the target for the duration of the scan. Skilled executions should be rewarding and this would add a nice dimension to that cloak-and-dagger playstyle.

As it stands I find an interesting concept is forgotten about or bound to spam keys because there really is no way to optimise it. Its design seems to suggest it's perfect for cloak-and-dagger alpha strike play, but it deliberately deprives you of that option by dropping cloak. I'd really appreciate some reconsideration to this function since it represents the first of the new classes of ship and I feel it has a lot of potential for some engaging high risk-reward play.
