Special Ability: Cloak

The Console - Universal - Cloaking Device is a universal starship console that grants Cloak. This console can only be obtained by purchasing the Galaxy Dreadnought Cruiser for 2,500 or the Defiant Tactical Escort Retrofit for or 2,000. It can be equipped on any variant of the Defiant, Avenger, and Aquarius classes, and any Dreadnought Cruiser version of the Galaxy class (listed below).

Game Description

The Treaty of Algeron, signed in 2311 by the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets, prohibited Federation cloaking devices. This agreement has been a source of controversy in Starfleet, where some officers believed it severely limited tactical options and put the Federation at a disadvantage.

Although the Federation initially agreed to follow the treaty after the destruction of the Romulan homeworld, in early 2409 Starfleet was authorized to develop and implement cloaking technology on selected ships.

This console allows you to cloak your ship. The cloak cannot be activated while in combat. It may be equipped on any console slot of the following Federation-exclusive vessels: Dreadnought Cruiser, Fleet Dreadnought Cruiser, Tactical Escort Retrofit, Fleet Tactical Escort Retrofit, Battlecruiser, Fleet Battle Cruiser, Aquarius Light Escort, or Fleet Aquarius Light Escort.

Cloak

Cloak grants stealth to your starship, but lowers your shields while active. Cloak can only be activated outside of combat and will drop if combat is engaged or when you interact with an object or contact.

When activated, your shields will drop for a few seconds before the Cloak fully engages. Immediately after decloaking you will have a short duration damage bonus.

The strength of the cloak is determined by your starship's auxiliary power setting.

Notes

• The Cloak is a toggle ability, meaning it can be turned on indefinitely. However, the Cloak will shut down if the ship enters combat, takes damage, encounters a dialogue box, or warps out of the system. In addition, you may have to decloak if you want to interact with mission oriented items.
• The Cloak granted by this console is different than the Battle Cloak, as the Cloak cannot be activated in Red Alert. However, on some starships it can in fact be upgraded to Battle Cloak if they are able to equip the full Stealth Fighter set.
• The console can be equipped by any Federation-aligned captain (e.g. Federation-aligned Jem'Hadar captains), however, it can only be equipped on a Federation-exclusive vessel (e.g. it cannot be equipped on Vorgon Ytijara Dreadnought Cruiser or Jem'Hadar Vanguard Dreadnought Cruiser, since although both are of type 'Dreadnought Cruiser' and available to Federation-aligned captains, still neither vessel is Federation-exclusive).
• This console was originally unique per character. However, it has been changed so that now any character can have as many as they want, although still only a single one can be equipped on each eligible starship, and it cannot be passed to other characters on the account.
• This console cannot be re-engineered or upgraded.
