The chat with the game's creators said something like "There was a cloaking device, and it was going to make its way into the game, but we couldn't find a way to make it functionally different / more interesting than the Ilwrath's."
So, no. No cloaking device.

i know i was an idea of fred and paul. i ment that it was a prank that people said that it was in the game. (it would be very sexy, but it would make u invincible, their would have to be some downside for it)

the prob with it is u cant c where u are urself. but since its in a full game i suppose u could just program the comp no to know where u are. that would be way to powerful.

The Ilwrath cloaking device is practically useless as both human and computer players can easily deduce the position of the Avenger even when cloaked. The only real advantage of the cloak is that it confuses homing weaponry (Earthling missiles, Orz marines et.c.). Making the Precursor cloaking device work as Chrispy suggested (hiding the Percursor vessel completely from the computer-controlled opponent with no clue as to its whereabouts, while keeping it visible on screen) would make it quite different from the Avenger's cloaking device, and a lot more powerful. The Precursor vessel is ridiculously powerful in the later stages of the game already, so adding a cloaking device to it is probably not a good idea.
Another interesting variant on the cloaking device theme would be a device that makes your fleet invisible in HyperSpace; in other words, nobody could spot you in HyperSpace with this device on. This would be especially useful when you get stuck in Yehat or Ur-Quan space with a dozen groups of enemies bearing down on you.
