I like to cloak my nubian tachyon ships as well: So they tend to have 4 slots cloaks, 5 slots TDs, 1 shield, 1 OT/jet, and 1 scanner. They're not as multi-purpose as the other design, but I can see without being seen myself. In my last game I had a multipurpose ship as well, but it had cloaks too, so I could lay mine fields at the front lines (well I could have execpt I was fighting 2 other IS races, and they had tachyons too - I'd mainly designed the ship for a future enemy who was a WM not allied to the IS's).
However, even with tachyons cloaking helps while you are in orbit of a world. Even with tachyons, you have to get very close (50ly or so) to a world to spot a 98% cloaked fleet. So I was able to put up mine fields on some worlds in no mans land that I probably couldn't have if the ships were not cloaked.
