And if it was patched however they did it, it is very well disguised.
KDF were the only ones with cloak at launch, but yes now that everyone has cloak it decloaks everyone the same. Dialogue, looting, interacting all drop cloak. Some things are done a little differently in a way that won't drop cloak, but you should always expect it to drop cloak.
Wonderful examples of Devs not actually playing their own game, leaving it in a state of disrepair. These are priority issues.

As a Romulan, I barely ever use my cloak because it is so annoying. Cloak once and you get stuck in cloak for the remainder of the map. Using enhanced battle cloak (doesn't matter if you get stuck in cloak) and you get decloaked every few mins by the stupid dialong pop-ups or other things.
With mines and an EBC, that could be amusingly exploited...
with cloaked mines it is even more funny, but its not very meta lol.
You mean the cloaked tractor mines? That's a hysterically funny idea...ROTFLMAOASTC!
But seriously, to the devil with the meta. My Fed Sci captain flies a Research Science Vessel, and she still romps and stomps.
Stats seen above are with EPA, but without QSM, (which would add another 100 points to all science skills)

Unfortunately, when you lay mines while cloaked, the mines are immediately visible and shot by your enemies before they can activate. This is true also with the cloaked mines, they can easily be shot before they have a chance to cloak.
Completely untrue, Romulan players and even a lot of Fed Ships cloak and this has long been a problem for everyone. The current surge in new KDF toons just brings it back to the fore-front but it's long been an issue for everyone.
Contrary to what you seem to think, KDF exclusive players do not have a monopoly on frustration.
I'd rather say that the reason no one brings it up is that cloaking is largely pointless in normal times. When cloak breaks because of a dialogue, normally I can just roll my eyes and pew pew away anyway. Now though, recruits have to be fighting from cloak to get the 2500 kills they need.
Largely Pointless? WHAT?!? Did you somehow miss the damage bonus upon uncloaking and attacking? Especially with DHC, the alpha strike is massive.
Its a 15% bonus for 5s. Nice, but totally forgettable.

lol.. no.
It's a base 15% Cat 2 damage buff which is quite a bit. If you fully buff before a decloak and deal your damage, the 15% is taken from that total number which potentially pushes it to pretty large numbers. Adding a Bridge Officer with Superior Subterfuge pushes it to a whopping 30% bonus and if you use the Bridge Officer from the recruitment event you can extend the bonus to 15 Seconds.
I understand why someone wouldn't say this was needed. Simply put, you can fly right up to something as it is and just unload a volley and obliterate it in a second or two anyway. But to call a 30% Cat 2 Bonus for 15 seconds 'forgettable' is not accurate.
-the event's Hunter Instincts that reduces the foes' dmg resistance when cloaking just after a kill,
-Maquis Tactics adding +10% dmg,
-Assault Formation Theta that gives you +160 Starship Weapon Amplification (Crit Severity), +20% Flight Turn Rate for 10 sec and a free HY III that doesn't share a cooldown with the normal HY and TS so depending on your torpedo cooldown, you can shoot a HY and then seconds later a TS.
Yah the cloaked tractor mines plus if you set it up right with self replicating mines and the holographic image trait that makes them immune to damage for a short time.
Is it just me or the romulan captain space trait broken it doesn't give the damage bonus or at least the tool tip doesn't show it. https://sto.gamepedia.com/Romulan
Edit: NM after some testing Klingon ships just have 25% bonus damage by default where as Romulan ships have 15%, this is honestly strange tbh. Which means the captain Romulan trait is 10% extra bonus damage not 20% like the wiki says. I wonder why Romulan cloak is just worse then klingon cloak other then stealth values.
Yes, if you deliberately build for it and have a battlecloak, it can be much more than nice. However, if you just have ye olde cloak and nothing towards enhancing it, then it is just nice, because you aren't getting that bonus again during the fight, and most people probably don't completely buff before decloaking.
But you tell me, are cloaking/battlecloaking ships a serious contender in the DPS world? I don't get the impression they are.
