First thing to do (apologies if you've done this already) is to check your keyboard setting. You can choose "View Keyboard Settings" from the menu at startup.

I don't know what version you've updated from, but since 1.80 the energy bomb has been disabled by default. You may need to download and install the Energy Bomb OXP to activate it again - there's a link on the [wiki]Energy Bomb[/wiki] wiki page (or get it via the download manager).

Zero (0) should activate the cloak (I think that's the default).
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills

Ah, they're primable kit now... try cycling through Shift+n (or I think you could tinker with the keyconfig.plist to enable the older defaults).

There is a "Primable equipment" in F4 Interfaces where you can set first fast activation (defensive) to cloaking device and second one to the bomb. Then you should beable to cloak with "0" and drop the bomb with "tab" key.
