Shade is great sentinel for those who often solo missions. It can be a real life saver as well also enabling you to complete missions that are normally above your abilities. The main thing is to have realistic expectations for Shade's abilities and be aware of how it functions. Always be cognizant of its 10 sec coodown and the range from enemies at which Ghost activates the stealth. If you have an itchy trigger finger, expect to blow or waste your cooldown often. Some tips:

- there is a brief moment before Ghost activates. Be careful if you're out of shields and really low on health, and you're hoping for Ghost to cloak to cloak you.

- Shade is great if you're soloing survival missions. You can activate the life support modules while in stealth, and remain cloaked afterwards.

- similar to above, you can hack consoles and security while cloaked.

- it's safe to walk into and bump against mobs while cloaked.

- your shield recharges while cloaked, which is a great help if you need it.

Be mindul of the position and range of enemies in your immediate vicinity, and you'll get a feel for when Ghost activiates and you'll see that it's not as random as people make it out to be.
