Gene Roddenberry always said the Federation doesn't sneak around...but the Treaty of Algeron forbid it -- (link) - RemliKhan Jul 25, 18:24 8
- I wonder if Roddenberry would have changed once the USAF started developing stealth planes -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 18:30 7
  - Maybe. -- nm - RemliKhan Jul 25, 18:54
  - The Defiant in DS9 had cloaking. And I'd expect that clandestine Starfleet services used cloaked ships. - TWuG Jul 25, 18:35 5
    - Admiral Pressman when he was Captain Pressman with a Lt. Riker tried to work on it on the Pegasus. -- (link) - RemliKhan Jul 25, 18:54
    - Sisko was a bit more pragmatic than Roddenberry. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 18:36 3
      - Sisko was an idiot. He knew that Vulcan was out there and yet he did not hold regular baseball practice until it was almost too late -- nm - crash davis Jul 25, 18:56

        Is this about Tuvix? If boimler had been on VOY, that wouldn't have been a problem. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 18:59
