[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Mars Needs Women: [qb] In Nemesis doesn't Troi use her psychic abilities along with the ship's sensors to find the Scimitar. It makes you wonder why this technique was never used before since it would pretty much negate all cloaking technology unless there's a way to hide brainwaves. [/qb][/QUOTE]Because TNG is the absolute [i]worst[/i] representation of telepathy/empathy in all of sci-fi. Might as well call it magic. Consider- Troi can sense the emotions (and her mom the [i]thoughts[/i]!) of a person [i]tens of billions of kilometers away[/i] just by looking at visual representation of said person on a viewscreen?! Assinine. The [i]less[/i] we see of [i]that[/i] crap, the better. As to the cloak, it's possible that it's the shields that are easily detectable and so pointless while cloaked...also consider what the 'ol "weapons lock" really is- an enemy ship hitting your vessel with some form of targeting beam just prior to attacking- also easily detectable, and a ship's computer (or Vulcan) should be able to instantly plot where the beam is coming from. What [i]should[/i] work, but is almost never seen, is cloaked mines. A Romulan ship should be deploying cloaked mines in a ship's path...possibly even sensor-jamming bouys that would allow the cloaked ship to de-cloak and fire with impunity. [/QB][/QUOTE]
