The post that I wanted to do next isn't ready yet, but this one is:
Cloaking devices Should cloaking devices exist in this setting, and if so, how common should they be? Please include the number of your preferred option in your vote. *1. There Is No Stealth In Space (No cloaking devices at all). *2. No cloaking devices, but less complete forms of sensor countermeasures do exist, leading to combat ranges generally being shorter when SCM is more effective, and longer when sensor counter-countermeasures are more effective. *3. Cloaking devices are very rare and expensive, and generally experimental in any polity that uses them, never standard issue. *4. The Romulans are the only polity that uses them, and they're rare even then. *5. The Romulans are the only polity that uses them, but they're relatively common among the Romulan fleet. *6. Two or three polities use cloaking devices. *7. Lots of polities use cloaking devices. *8. Small Cloaking Devices exist (i.e. man-portable), but the Romulans are the only ones with ship cloaks. *9. Something that I haven't considered (please specify). EDIT: OK, the consensus appears to be that while only the Romulans have proper vehicular-scale cloaking devices, personal scale cloaks are available in other polities, and advanced sensor countermeasures are, as well.
