Not to be rude but your ship is illegal. The OIB-3 doesn't work at 1/1 in any configuration. An FIA-3 would work, so would a KIB-1 and a RIB-2, but all three are markedly heavier. Secondly your shield power indicates a class III vessel, but your mass is 26,045mt. That pushes you into the Class IV category and pushes the tandem OWA-2 into the 2/1 MPR range. This is because superstructure rounds up, not down. So it should be 7, not 6 since the raw components add up to 6.6 Superstructure on their own. Subtracting the 0.6, which would put you in the right class, cheats the system by eliminating weight that SHOULD be there.
Your D factor is also therefore incorrect, but that's a minor point.
I bring this up because the test you put forth is tainted by the ship being built with altered rules while the opponent ships are not. I realize that it may have been RPG based (all of my group's games were RPG campaign based) but even then rules like ship construction should be adhered to.
Taking that into account however I have a few questions to narrow down the fine details of the scenario before I can make a call.
1. How many turns was allotted for the hook up of the cloaking device. I don't see 10 seconds (one turn) being a legitimate amount of time to do it, even for an experienced technician with the proper tools and mounting equipment on hand. Your vulnerability during this period would play a significant part in your survival.
2. Did the asteroids block movement and LOS and how thick was the field? Just how many asteroids were in play?
3. Were the Klingon and Romulan fleets more interested in catching you or blasting each other? What was the objectives of each fleet? 27 combined vessels should have found you quite easily even when cloaked based off of the law of averages alone.
4. It has been long established that shields to not work under cloak. Was this protocol followed?
5. Where was your starting point and how long was it till either Klingon or Romulan fleet showed up on the field?
6. Which way were the hexes facing. I've played on a 4 x 8 table with legal size hexes. That's 83 hexes if they are placed long ways out (travel in a straight line) or 93 hexes placed crosswise (you would have to zigzag a bit).
