How are you going to balance this?
You cannot put something in play which there is absolutely no defense for. It shoves team balance off-tilt and becomes a serious problem (ala Mammoth Tank rush) to a point that no one will want to use what you have created.
So tell me how you plan to balance this out.

At the worst; they will be costly and the cost of keeping them cloaked will be great enough that someone wouldn't be able to use too many of them without robbing from everything else. So they most likely won't be usable til later on in the game, when people start bringing out the bigger weapons and the like.
Since cloaking them would be so costly, I figure most of them will be visible, which will give someone a chance to try and fire on them from a distance (probably through FPS view); but then there will be the occasional cloaked one to surprise a view bombers/etc coming in to the person's base.
As far as the coding and such goes though, til I find help/learn it myself, those details are a bit harder to pan out. :>

Here is what they say:
[12:14:50 PM] <KDR_11k> For modding/GUI work or engine-level?
[12:15:28 PM] <[Evo]lurker> units use the bos language
[12:15:35 PM] <KDR_11k> Mechanics suggests game mechanics, i.e. LuaRules
[12:15:37 PM] <[Evo]lurker> a lot can be lua
[12:15:49 PM] <[Evo]lurker> but almost everything game wise is in cpp

Other than that, she tends to be nice, I hear. The only problem is that ӝthehalcyon doesn't know that awful much about PHP. I asked her on your behalf, tho, and she said to tell you:
echo "php.net" . "=" . "your friend.";
