One Question please. May a cloaked romulan travel at speed 16+1 by accelerating or must a cloaked romulan stay at speed 16?

They can move 16+, but they would need to cancel one move unless they want to void the cloak.

See (5P3d)

One of the reasons to do that would be so you can have an extra subpulse to choose when you would move your ship tactically. Am I right on that? Seems I read it somewhere.

Moving 16+1 voids the cloak.

If you move only 1 or 2 hexes in an impluse the cloak is fine.

If for ANY reason (baseline speed, acceleration, etc) you move 3 or 4 hexes in an impulse your cloak is voided.

Marcus, you can have a baseline speed of 16, accelerate, and then decelerate on one of the sub-pulses and move only two hexes. You will be considered to have a speed of 16+1 for most of the impulse, but will not void the cloak.

The answers here all appear to be correct. Terry summed it up best.
