first: Welcome to the board!!! :-)

See, i always thougth of the Cloaking as a no emmision thing. I thought of it as instaed of bending light around it, it just does not allow anything to be reflected back. Somehow they figured out how to absorb the entire spectum or reflect it in a different direction. That way they can see and the others cant see them in return.

Yes you would see a shadow, but in the blackness of space, that would not matter.

Anyone?

P.S. Rewmember we are also discussing a show that has all aliens as wrinkles on their heads or a funny accent. :-) But Star trek will always kick Star Wars butt. :P
