R&D science console idea

We should be able to add the phase cloak to any Federation Starship. The phase cloak from the TNG episode "Pegasus" would make a great addition to the game. Starfleet probably locked it away after the episode, but with the destruction of Romulus the treaty that forbid the Federation from developing cloaking technology would become null and void would it not? If the Gal-X and Defiants can equip regular cloaks, science ships should be able to research a phasing cloak which would be even more effective in terms of stealth. I would make it an item researched at the highest level science school.

    Wow. Seriously, wow. You just jumped off the deep end on this one. Standard cloak is iffy to the point of unreasonable. Battle cloak is almost unthinkable. Phased cloak, currently only available to the d'deridex refit? Yeah, not happening.

    I thought the Kar'Fi battle Carrier had it as well.

    that's not a phase cloak, it's just an interphasic generator

    they can still see you, they just can't shoot or collide with you
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
    An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
    A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
    A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"

    I gain power by understanding both.

    Tell you what, you have your phase cloak, but on one condition

    20 hours later you and your crew get the same treatment as Erik Pressman, Court Martial for illegal activity breaching Starfleet regulations and the treaty of Algeron

    imo, cloaks of all kinds need an overhaul in how they function.

    You sure as hell aren't going to see a cloaked Starfleet anytime. You can start holding your breath right now if you want :cool:

    Star Empire still exists, and Starfleet's Okeg honors the treaty anyway

    Unfortunately true. Unless the Romulan Civil War ends up with the Republic claiming all Romulan territories, the Romulan Empire still technically exists as long as they have a government and a population governed by them.

    Even so, convincing the Federation Council to permit R&D for cloaking technologies of any sort is going to take an epic uphill battle against red-tape and policies that have been entrenched for generations.
