Cloaking Device (Updated)

*** Unfortunately I no longer have time to tweak or update any of my SE mods; in fact I'm on a complete SE break. As always, 100% of my work is totally free to share/change/republish, any other author whose content is inside my mods should be consulted separately. Hope the community is still enjoying the game and modders can benefit from my dodgy work! ***

Here's a block to help you sneak up on (or away from) other players. It comes in small and large block variants, is colourable with build progression models as you'd expect, and is 3x3x3 blocks like large reactors.

Fire this baby up and your grid will completely disappear from view, assuming you have enough power to feed it!

Whilst cloaked your guns won't work, although all other ship systems should be fine. Your guns will need to be switched back on manually (or use a PB) once you completely decloak.
Cloaking and decloaking are processes that take a couple of seconds to complete.
When cloaking or decloaking is complete, you cannot reverse the effect for another five seconds.

There's a snazzy little fade-out/fade-in effect for all blocks including pistons, rotors and wheels. Players in seats will not fade but will be hidden when grid is fully cloaked, to avoid the possible exploit of character invisibility. If you get out of a cloaked cockpit/set you will become visible immediately.

Block design thanks (heaps!) to BruceCarcharias! I especially like what you did with the energy coils.

Components required for large block (divide by 5 for small):
Steel Plate 100
Construction 200
Superconductor 200
SSTube 50
Detector 50
LSTube 10
Computer 50

UPDATES 26/2/19
* Block won't cause CTD when being cut & pasted. Sorry about that!
* Subgrids (attached via pistons/rotors or of course merge blocks) will cloak, connected ships (attached via connectors won't.) They come in small blocks so add one to your connected ships
* Thruster flames now also disappear
* Power required is directly based on mass of grid. Custom info (lower right panel in systems screen) will tell you how much you need
* AI turrets will be greatly confused by your ship, and are very unlikely to target you unless you park right in front of one up close. Due to limitations accessing certain functions I can't make them actually ignore your grid but I can reset their targeting every ten ticks if they try to target you.
