[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Ginger: Actually, the way they handled the firing in [i]Nemesis[/i] was blind aiming of the phasers, and once they hit the [i]Scimitar[/i], they'd launch torpedoes to hit it with the heavy firepower. It was actually quite sensible. But as Shinzon said, they were still "too slow"-- not all the torpedoes hit the target. There are plenty of precedents for cloaked ships traveling at warp. The Cardassian/Romulan fleet is one, but we saw the [i]Defiant[/i] doing it many, many times. Heck, we even saw it in "Face of the Enemy," with the warbird that Troi was on. Come to think of it, they cloaked the [i]Enterprise[/i] while it was making its Warp 9 getaway in "The [i]Enterprise[/i] Incident" way back in TOS. Therefore, I conclude that it's [i]not[/i] directly a question of how much power a ship has available that determines when the cloak can be used. So we're back to Amasov's suggestion, that it's the shields and/or weapons that disperse or disrupt the cloaking field and make it unusable. Of course, this is all just so much rationalization. I was thinking exactly the same thing as Masao. ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
