OT: Revised Edition Star Trek

[El_Phil]

Going for both makes things flexible, you can have cloaked ships with good anti-tachyon work but bad exhausts, or vice versa. Or, on ships that are suitably rare and expensive, good at beating both.

Come to think of it, how about Romulan cloaks you beat with tachyons, Klingons with exhausts? TNG had the throwing tachyons at Romulan cloaks, and ST:VI sought the Klingon exhausts so it's even consistent! (excluding the hundreds of contradictory examples I've almost certainly forgotten)
