I'm putting in the weakness that firing weapons negates the cloak's effect, thus it can't sit and snipe away unseen. (Though I think triangulating the trajectory of the fired shots would give away the ship anyways after a while) Also, early models will have a large thermal signature, as a decent means of dissipating the heat produced is not perfected.
