[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] "Past Tense"? Interesting - I didn't remember anything like that. Why would the Defiant penetrate sensor nets, if her mission was just to ferry Sisko and friends to a conference? And after Sisko traveled to the past and got the real Bell killed, the sensor nets of Earth ceased to exist. Oh, well - have to rewatch. (It's well worth a rewatch in any case...) In addition to "Tomorrow is Yesterday", at least TOS "Assignment: Earth" and VOY "Future's End" featured starships becoming invisible to Earth's radar systems by using their standard shields in some special mode. I agree that such partial cloaking is probably well outside the parameters of the Algeron treaty - as are the various holographic countermeasures we've seen in "Who Watches the Watchers" or "Basics" etc. Only "complete" cloaks count as illegal. And Earth would partially cloak its orbital platforms anyway (paint them black or something) to protect the said spotted owl. Thousands of such platforms on the sky would ruin the starscape if they reflected sunlight... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
