I can't tell you about the super-fast acceleration, but I'd like to find out
about it...

Terrans can cloak (and so can anyone else) by going off the right edge of the
lang range map SLOWLY.  There is a part of space that is not on the map before
it wraps to the left side.

To detonate a base, just hit the Destroy Base button to the left of the Drop
Base button.

Klingons can't phaser through shields.  The previous poster was reffering to
Feds.
