Fleet C&C cloaking

I looked for this in the manual, in the other docs, and in the forums, but I haven't found an answer. Is there a way to order other ships to cloak using Fleet C&C? Under the Fleet C&C menu, I see this menu called "system controls" with "cloaking" being one of the options (with a check box next to it). However, I can't find that menu described anywhere in the literature as to what changing those options does or how to enable cloaking some other way.

I am guessing that perhaps fleet cloaking is not allowed, as it would be difficult to issue orders to uncloak your fleet when they no longer show up on your scan. However, that "system controls" menu had me puzzled.

Think of the sytem controls "cloaking" button as permission to your commanders in the fleet to use the cloak. Depending on "their" AI, they will cloak when they decide to.

Thanks. That makes more sense.
