Murphy had something to say about this:  "Tracers work both ways."

Loosely translated, I'd say that if you want to have the iCloak affect
the
missiles, you shouldn't fire at any of them or else the guidance
software
on all the other ones will triangulate where those beams came from with
a
cathartic, "Hey, there you are!  Thanks, I was having some trouble
finding
you..."  ;)

Question:  should a ship with a conventional cloaking device be allowed
to
drop it down to an iCloak level as a "medium point" between full-cloak
and
full-visible?  I'd think so...
