New standing order. Ship captains are no longer allowed to decide that some new alien technology they've just discovered is "too dangerous" and blow it up. (How many times was that done in all the ST series?)
From now on, they will either retrieve it and bring it to an isolated study zone or will travel to the nearest starbase at maximum warp and report its location so that a well equipped research and recovery team can be sent out.
Starfleet will use the cloaking device! Being able to defend oneself (or country, planet, solar system, Federation) better DOES NOT entice/incite others to attack. It makes them LESS LIKELY to want to attack if they're more likely to fail in the attack.
Romulan Leader: "Those rotten Federation people! They're using the cloaking device! ATTACK!"
Romulan Military Advisor: "Uh, sir. Attack what? We can't see them."
RL: "Oh. Right. Shall we have lunch, then? Can we pop off a photon torpedo or two?"
RMA: "That wouldn't be wise, Sir. Remember what Kirk did to the Duras sisters?"
RL: "Oh snap! Yeah, that could get ugly."
The joystick shall be removed from the bridges of all Galaxy Class starships. These are ships the size of aircraft carriers, not F-16C Fighting Falcons. While we're at it, just chuck the saucer section completely and replace it with a more compact super weaponry pod. The Galaxy looks much more menacing without the saucer.
