GREAT TOPIC! I love WZ45's TMP Andromedans!
Rod O' Neal has a great understanding of what SFC can do in relation to Andromedans.
Personally, I like having the Andromedans cloak to simulate a displacement device. This was done in an earlier version of the *on hold* Galaxies at War Mod that Rod O' Neal was instrumental in starting.
I haven't played Chris Jone's Universe At War Mod yet so I'm not 100% sure how accurately or not they are portrayed there.
True, claoking Andromedans don't break up enemy fleet formations but I'm told that even though we currently can not make the Andromedans actually do what they are supposed to do in SFB, we can at least approximate what a battle might LOOK LIKE against them.
As a non-SFB player, that's fine with me.
I'm sure if/when the source code is released the Andromedans and the Tholians will become races to be reckoned with. I look forward to that day.
Qapla!
