    Read the PT2409 again. The current Noncloak treaty has nothing to do with the Romulans or Sela and is about the UFP getting caught doing something they where avowed they would not, and then reafirming they where wrong and reavowing to never do it again.

    The Defiant Retro snd AGT are granfathered inyo game because of fan desire. The Avenger is a loophole in that it can use the console if the player already owns one.

    The Romulan sector of space is open to fly through because you have missions there and in the early game the feds are both fighting for and against them.
    Its ok if you wish to ignore game history and your own vows, honor is somethjng Ive long learned that any fedfan will gladly TRIBBLE upon to get their own srlfish ways accomplished.

    Again, this is Lore. It's irrelevant in a game-mechanics approach. This is a matter of game mechanics. The ships already can cloak. The request is to bring them to par to the other cloaking vessels. Not if they should or not; that has no weight here at all. They do, and that will not change.

    I do find it amusing the amount of self-righteous, indignant rage that infuses that response, to the point of many typos from furiously flying fingers and further strawmanning via lore.

    The cloak should be an innate function in these 2/3 ships, as it is for every other ship in this game with a cloaking device. It's as simple as that.

    The greater amusing irony is people complaining about areas where the game is true to the IP (Star Trek), when it says the in the title of the game it's based on Star Trek.

    I own both the Defiant retro and and the avenger, i never really bother with cloaks because they take up a console slot which i could easily put something more useful in.

    Also, if you are cloaked, you are vulnerable, the whole no shield problem and you can't even fire weapons unless you are flying a B'rel retro or the light warbird retro.

    Plus I find cloaks too un starfleet, the federation should really have anti-cloaking tech instead of the cloaking device.

      "The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."
      -Lord Commander Solar Macharius
