[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] There's a dozen ways that a fleet of cloaked ships can stay in a pre-arranged formation without too much trouble, especially when these things are most likely auto pilot most of the time. It's all down to syncronisation and a little forethought. The only problem I can see with cloaked mines is preventing them from detonating each other. The solution to that could range from short range "pings" that let all the mines around them know to keep away, then there's the slightly tricky method of getting them to hold a specific point in space reletive to a pre-determinind point of reference, be it local or stellar. On the other hand you could have them networked via a web of narrow beam transmissions that keep them at a fixed distance from each other, a web which could double as a triggering mechanisum if a ship interrupts the beam. As for Romulans & klingons being able to see each other, clearly they can't as has been demonstraited on a few occasions. The one that jumps to mind is from early TNG when the E-D was facing of againt a Warbird when a bunch of Klingon cruisers decloaked, [i]surprising[/i] the Romulans. I think the bottom line is that if any one with a cloak can see through everyone else's then one captured ship means the cloak is rendered useless, or worse a liability. [/QB][/QUOTE]
