Is it supposed to be like this??

Being auto- de-cloaked every time a message pop-up occurs. It is more of an annoyance than anything as I have to wait 15 seconds to re-cloak...but in some cases when I am not ready for a message from my 1st officer I get de-claoked just to read it..and he is on my own ship!

Secondly, The Dyson Destroyer Tactical Mode. A 1 minute CD after a death? This is a mode not an ability or attack.

Also, I have noticed that my hourly rep points only give me the 200 points about half the time.... Usually when I only need about 200-400 to advance to next tier it does not award my points when I claim...I have to wait for the full daily to get into the next tier. Is there a limit on rep point per day?

The auto-decloak thing seems to be arbitrarily applied. Sometimes message boxes force you out of cloak, sometimes they don't. Same with mission actions, like scanning things.

That auto-decloak unfortunately has always been in STO, if you plan to advance your storyline it would be best to keep outside 10km of any hostile in space, go through the popup mission dialogue and then re-cloak and keep going.

A one minute CD after death is hardly worth complaining about, at least it isn't a 5 minute or 10 minute CD because then you would have a point that it's very much disruptive to gameplay. Some things in your power tray have longer cooldowns and in the fight that time just flies past and you activate it 3 minutes from the last time you activated it. With all respect, it isn't a problem.

Yes, it's been around forever, but it still makes no sense. In the various series and movies, cloaked ships could do pretty much anything without de-cloaking other than fire weapons. Even within the game I remember NPCs that can "send" and "receive" dialogue while remaining cloaked, and yet the players cloak automatically drops if responding to that same dialogue.

honeslty, I rarely bother with cloak in story missions, because you don't need it.

It's working as intended.
