Technically, this isn’t a cloaking device. It’s a phasing device. They can’t help it if the Romulans or everyone can’t see them while they are in another phase. I feel like the admiral just didn’t do a good job marketing his invention. Lol
@alexanderwinn94072 жыл бұрын
If you can play legalese with the language, so can they. I’m sure the treaty language doesn’t just say “cloaking device,” it says something like “any technology which can render physical objects undetectable by visible light or subspace scans,” which WOULD apply to this device.

To those wondering why they do not use or keep this cloak, there's actually a treaty between the Romulan Empire and the federation, and I am sure everyone knows about the Neutral Zone between them. Part of the Romulan treaty is that no federation ship is ever allowed to manufacture, develop, or use cloaking in any way.
@philiphunn1943 жыл бұрын
Unless it's the original Defiant, and even then the Romulans only loaned it to the Federation with the proviso that it was supposed to be used solely in the Gamma Quadrant (even though Sisko gave the rules the finger all the time, because he was Sisko and that was how he did things).

Most likely, the treaty was worded in such a way that phase-shifting would fall under the umbrella of cloaking. For example: "No space-faring vessel of the United Federation of Planets or its member worlds shall be outfitted with any system or device that would permit the vessel to evade sensor detection..." The Romulans would certainly have known that there were yet-unexplored methods for evading detection that the Federation would explore if they were left any loopholes, and they would have insisted that the treaty was worded accordingly.

I think the Enterprise cloaking and decloaking looks so badass. I think that part in the treaty about the Federation not being able to develop cloaking technology was a mistake. It's not just about evening the odds. Yes it does help keep everyone in check. It can also be used for research and for emergency situations other than offensive or defensive intentions. If the Klingons and romulans have it, then why not?

Just occurred to me now: Riker went from ensign to commander in roughly 5-7 years? Crazy. The writers should have said the incident happened 20 years ago, even accounting for a likely super rapid rise in the ranks. Or Pressman should have had a line in the episode mentioning fostering Riker in terms of promotion.

i believe it keeps the peace. its like a promise they will never play an arms race, and its a token gesture of faith, and tangible proof that the federation is not interested in conquest or battle with the Romulans. If Romulans always have that slight advantage, with no threat to that advantage, then they are comfortable with the status quo of peace.

I got a notion despite his adherence to the Treaty of Algeron and his misgivings about Admiral Pressman and the statements of Riker, Picard was actually impressed with the cloak's ability to "phase" through normal matter. Pressman knew there was more than just the Romulans to deal with if the cloak were to be revealed. The Klingons would have also been aggravated as they also attempted to create a phase cloak as well. However, their cloak was a failure as their research indicated the cloak would only last about 20 or so minutes before damage to their plasma conduits occured. This was also later discovered by Section 31. However, they were able to stabilize their version by heavily reinforcing their plasma conduits thus giving them about 12 hours of cloaking. But, they concluded it could not be done for any tactical length of time on a larger starship. So it was either utilize it on a much smaller scale say a shuttlecraft or runabout which doesn't make much sense as a weapons platform, or as pretty much ALL Alpha Quadrant powers did (Federation/Klingons/Romulans) simply abandon it. Now the information is all non-canon, but what IS canon is that the phase cloak still exists as far as the Picard Series. It was locked up with Data at the Daystrom Facility. With the technology available in Picard's century, and with the Romulans no longer a large power, the Federation can legally pursue the phase cloak and possibly make it work to its promised capabilities. And since the rechristened Titan is now Enterprise G, perfect test bed.

Except cloaking systems aren't the advantage they seem to be. They consume a great deal of ship's power, render weapons and shields useless as long as the cloak is active, renders the ship vulnerable while decloaking, and can be defeated by a number of active scanning technologies which Federation R&D has invented, tested, and deployed with considerable effectiveness in the intervening years. The Dominion had effective anti-cloak scanning and penetration technology, and the Defiant's cloaking system wasn't any kind of game-changer in the Dominion War. The Federation found greater advantage in developing and refining anticloak detection and penetration technologies and relying on active defences rather than a stealth system that makes a ship more rather than less vulnerable, and an alert captain suspecting cloaked ships might be in his sector will already have shields up and weapons ready, which diminishes the effectiveness of an ambush. So yes, Admiral Pressman is wrong on a number of levels, one of which is the supposed advantages of cloaking technology which field experience has demonstrated to be a dubious quality. In signing the treaty, the Federation gave up something it could not only live without but also defeat for far less expense and risk involved.

I'm seeing comments of people saying that the federation doesn't use cloaks because they aren't a militaristic view for the future, enlightened, no cloak and dagger, all that stuff. I understand that point but I have to disagree. Technology like this would be extremely valuable because it would allow captains the ability to exit a violent scenario safely. Such technology would also be extremely useful across all fields (such as search and rescue, non-invasive surgery, studying potentially warp capable species, studying extremely hard to access areas, etc etc), not just military. Advanced phasing technology does not morally compromise the federation anymore than standard issue torpedoes and ray guns that can commit planetary genocide at the pull of a trigger; both have the potential to be used for good, or evil.
@bryanwoods33735 жыл бұрын
Wthin universe, it's because of the treaty Picard mentioned. The Federation wouldn't pursue cloaking technology; don't know what the Romulans agreed to. Really, the special effects weren't good enough in TOS to do it often, and it would take the danger out of so many situations. And, of course, the Federation did get a cloaked vessel during the Dominion War on DS9. And it's not like the science teams don't use holographic technology to hide research facilities on habitated planets to study prewarp races.

What the Admiral and his co-conspirators did wrong was do it in secret and violate Federation law. If they feel so strongly about the Treaty of Algeron sucking, they should have used legal methods to get the Federation to change or abolish the treaty.

Hell by the time TNG was around it was no doubt old technology they must have known how a basic system worked. Like a old school nuke versus a newer one.

Cloaking isn't useful enough for the Borg. Cloaking only matters against opponents of equal or greater strength. Remember that the Borg consider the Romulans unworthy of assimilation, even though the Romulans are technically closer to Borg space. The first Borg cube passed right through Romulan space to get to Wolf 359 and Sector 001.
