I like it, because it allows to see that the cloak is working and also keep green/yellow/red as other ships might target a cloaked ship for a very brief amount of time, thus this could be properly reflected (and also tell the commander what to expect when the cloak turns off).

That all very interesting to read -- I doubt that if a cloak indicator hasn't emerged since BBC seminal event (Earth, late Cro-Magnon period) too many will now.
Another possibility might be for the background stars to change e.g. darken or flicker (or reverse colour? - I'll just try that...........no, not really satisfactory); this would even up the battle advantage of being cloaked, a bit, anyway.

Yes, suggested indicator looks pretty cool..

Maybe after the famous MNSR! In the meantime the status indicator does already go slightly blue when cloaked(in trunk), providing that all important visual feedback from 1.73 onwards!
