Cloaking

[Timo]

Also, just to nitpick, the TOS movies don't have the warp-streak effect to tell us whether a ship is at warp or impulse. And Klingon ships don't have a consistent effect of "warp contrails", either. So when Chang's ship cloaks while setting sail for Khitomer, she might theoretically do that while already at warp.

No, I'm not serious with that one. But TOS also lacked visual indication of warp. So the Romulan ship in "Balance of Terror" might well have engaged her cloak while at warp. Or whatever you call it when a ship travels at a speed corresponding to warp three at least, but "her power is simple impulse"...

The Defiant has cloaked whilst at warp in many episodes.

 

[DonIago]

^Can you name a few of these many episodes?

 

[Michael]

^ Certainly "The Search" and "Trials And Tribble-ations" come to mind. But I'm sure there are others as well ...

 

[DonIago]

My point was that it's rather poor form to claim something occurs in "many episodes" without even citing one.

I think this thread ran its course, actually. I was surprised to see it come up again.

Can Romulan, Klingon, Suliban, any ship using a cloak; engage the cloak while at warp or do they always have to be at impulse

In The Next Generations Face of the Enemy we saw a Romulan Warbird cloak while at warp.

Star Trek 5 was so "Shatastic"
