Depends. I may be several generations of rules behind the times here -- 
EW is not something I use much -- but didn't the original PSB for the 
FT cloak involve it putting the ship in a sort of pocket universe? In 
that case, area weapons will be as ineffective as any other, because 
the ship _isn't there_ to be revealed or damaged.

It certainly solves the lucky hit problem <g>.
