[QUOTE]Originally posted by Cpt. Kyle Amasov: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] Weeell... :) Anyhow, it certainly isn't all that implausible that the "Reman" ship borrows heavily from other sources. A confiscated Jemmie ship is definitely a possibility, but so is reverse-engineering of Jemmie tech and application thereof to a Romulan spaceframe. And the fancy new cloak could be what the Jem'Hadar had all along - one that doesn't have fatal flaws, so nobody ever learned the Dominion had it. OTOH, it's not all that mysterious to me that a planetful of slaves could build a mighty warship. For all we know, they build the lion's share of *all* Romulan warships. It's just that they haven't had much chance to actually fly those things before, being slaves and all that. Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Interesting you mention the Dominion possibly having cloaking tech. We know they had this tachyon-beam weapon that was able to detect cloaked ships (the last Kor-episode comes to my mind, at least that's what I remember). The Dominion never used cloaking devices, but I'm also quite sure they had them, too. I think the primary chalange would be to find a place where you build the ship. Even if the Remans had the ability to do so, you can't put it together in your garage. Furthermore I'm interested in seeing how they'll do the "partial cloaking" thing (Shinzon drops the cloaking in some sectors to make Picard think he damaged his ship, later the Scimitar has only parts of the cloak online). Does this mean the ship is equipped with more than one cloak? I always thought there's just the on/off-switch for the cloak, you cannot partially drop it. If that's the case, the ship has to have more than one. (Jackill's SRM comes to my mind; two or more cloaking devices on 23rd century ships were not uncommon before TNG established that there has been a treaty of Algeron, can't remember though if other fan manuals established this, too.).
