Yeah, but the point is, then you wouldn't be able to target anything on the other side of a nebula - you'd always end up targeting the individual nebula components instead, which was a pain!
And cloaking a nebula wouldn't help either - then you just couldn't see it!

On the other hand, if you _could_ target the rocks, and destroy them with a 'mining laser' or such, their 'cargo' of 'storm asteroid crystals' might make a cool trade good. Especially if the TCN paid a good price, but the Amonkrie considered it contraband...
