Can a ship dock while cloaked? Can it cloak after docking?

The information for CL52 Battlegroup can be found here on the BBS.
To answer Terry's question, on second reading, the answer is already present in (5P3a). The relevant part says: | Quote: | | During a fade-in/out impulse, or when fully cloaked, the ship cannot: ... dock with other units, ... |
So, you can't dock when cloaked, or cloak when docked.
Just to be clear, this refers to (2D5a) Docking. Any shuttle already in a hangar is fine, as is a tug with its pod or pods. Note that this still assumes they are already in this configuration. A ship cannot land (or launch) a shuttle, or attach to or drop a pod while cloaked.

Haha... I can see it now.
The USS Rhinoceros is cruising along the Romulan neutral zone...
Navigator: "Captain, all sensors are clear. Nothing in scanning distance."
Captain: "Excellent Mr. Jackson. Place the ship on autopilot and lets break out Ogre."
Meanwhile... on the cloaked Romulan tug...
Captain: "OK guys, let's have some fun. I have 25 credits on Emergency Decel.
Centurion R'Hok says, Portside HET.
Sub-Commander PHThal has unavoidable collision.
Decturion Jones (he's a refugee) says evasive maneuvers, followed by fresh uniforms"
"Helm, position us 5,000 kilometers ahead of them and slightly above their track and maintain"
"Logistics... DROP THE POD - NOW!!!"
Meanwhile, back aboard the Rhinoceros; klaxons wail and the Orge game gets unceremoniously dumped as the entire bridge crew springs back to their stations.
In Unison: "Whuh... Where did that come from?"
Captain: "Brace for impact. Helm..."
to be continued

Thanks Mike, I somehow missed that when I was re-reading the rule.

Not a problem. To be honest, I missed it the first time reading through for the answer. I didn't see it until the second read.
