Oh, I realize that, dudemanjac, and I also realize science vessels will be fairly good at detecting them, too. However, they're still advantages in that situation, if only because the Federation has to spend resources to deal with cloaks if they engage in pvp content. To have a balanced game, there should be something that Klingons have to deal with (spending their own resources, to do it well), if they're to overcome the Federation -- be it some natural advantage to shields, or repair rates, engine power, science capability (even on non-science ships), etc. etc. etc.
I'm just curious to know if there's anything special that the federation is innately good at, or unique, which will balance Federation vessels against Klingons in PvP.

The Federation is innately good at winning in the end, since that's where all the shows writers come from.

I don't remember if it was like this in the show but aren't cloaks tied to shields in that if you have cloak up shields are a no-go? It would be nice if a well placed hit stops those shields from coming back up at all or at least extremely weakened.
