In Birth of the Federation combat was turn-based but play out in a pseudo real time representation. So in Birth of the Federation cloak ships literally had the first turn free with no possible reaction to them. In SE5 combat is in real time with pausing, which means as soon as a cloaked ship acts you can react to them. Basically the SE5 combat system will be able to reflect the strategic and tactical strengths of cloaking technology with out having to resorting to lame game mechanics such as in birth of the federation.[img]/threads/images/Graemlins/Flag_NewZeland.gif[/img]
