 Cloaked ships will not automatically fire their conventional weapons. Otherwise their cloak would be rather useless. If you successfully order a cloaked unit to fire on a target, it will automatically decloak. An active Cloaking Device also shuts down the shield generator subsystem. Therefore cloaked ships are very vulnerable against beam-ins and damage dealers. This is the main drawback of the cloaking mechanics. An attacked cloaked ship will automatically decloak as well. Many [[special_weapons|special weapons]] do allow for forcing a decloak, e.g. the [[sensor_jammer|Sensor Jammer]], but not all of them do. Some of them can even be used without turning off ones own Cloaking Device (e.g. [[gravity_mines|Gravity Mines]]). Cloaked ships will not automatically fire their conventional weapons.

-When playing with the [[..:star_trek_-_armada_1#techtrees|tech tree]] //No Special Weapons//, the description is actually not entirely accurate. Technically speaking, the [[cloak|cloak]] is also a [[special_weapons|special weapon]], as well as its counter, the [[tachyon_detection_grid|Tachyon Detection Grid]]. But both are very much in use. The detector units and stations all automatically use the detection grid and all ships capable of conventional cloaking can do so.+When playing with the [[setting_up_matches#techtrees|tech tree]] //No Special Weapons//, the description is actually not entirely accurate.
