Very simply, the ability to add cloak to enable your base to escape the radar more often. Hiding your base must be nice if you're trying not to get it disabled.

dont the lvl7 or 8 bases with maxed out standard space end up with a bit of empty space? cloak stuff could be useful, maybe limit it to between 4 and 6 cloak modules depending on the chosen size. although it may be a bit difficult to code in(?)

Not going to happen. Adding cloak to bases would require a complete rewrite of the scanning for bases mechanics. As it stands now, the coding is simple. You click Scan for Bases, the RNG grabs one from the set of eligible bases. That's it. Adding cloak with the "scan>cloak" tactic (like NPCs) throws in IF...THENs creating (theoretically) an infinite loop of never finding ANY bases. Or if you go the "reduces chance of" route, then each and every base would need to be weighted separately. Base scanning is fine just the way it is.

I'll take this opportunity to point out that Zolazins already have a base boosting function.
Cyborg DataChannel Boosts base research output by 2% for each loyal Vygoid and Zolazin member in your legion. Lasts 20 hours.
