In regards to cloaking and sensors:

I believe that all races should be able to research cloaking to a certain degree. As it stands now, Klingons and Romulans would have access to a few additional levels of cloak.

After viewing some of SJ's suggestions - I'm not sure about a few items. First of all, I don't believe that cloak-detecting sensors should require cloak technology. For example, several races (Feds/Dominion) at times seem adept at detecting cloaks but themselves do not have the same level of technology to use them. Furthermore if all races were to have access to cloaking, this method could potentially result in many, many redundant entires in comps.txt which for the purpose of the lone feature of comprimising another races cloak tech may not be worth it.

I rather focus on creating a variety of different sensors that can detect cloaks at varying levels instead.

However, I would like to implement SJ's cloaking ideas in some capacity. I was thinking the advanced Klingon/Romulan cloaks would require different types of sensors needed to detect them would be tied into cloak technology at some point.
