IIRC, you can’t use shields and cloaking device at the same time.......
Well, assumptions can be deadly. After all, we wouldn't want to unleash a bunch of nukes at these targets, only to watch them blast harmlessly against shields, and then as their photon torpedoes close in on us, our last words would be "wait a minute, it didn't work that way in Star Trek"! LOL!
Actually, the last thing we hear in reply might be, “Aha, out Star Trek disinfo show worked perfectly! All your base are mine! Ahahahaha!”
