I don't know about the WAY that cloak detection will work. It is looking an awful lot like the 'sensor density' used to detect cloaks in BotF I, which made the cloaks less useful strategically, and now with less tactical uses for a cloak, will there be any use of a cloak at all against the Federation or Dominion?
I do like the Dominion's cloaking detection system, but I don't think it should be 100%. They still cloak the Defiant later in DS9, and it often works.
I think that the Federation's cloaking countermeasures should be the TDG, which detects ships crossing the border, but may lose them once in the Federation.
Enough about that, though

What is with the Romulan sensor systems? even if you go with the Gravitic sensor (which with the proper limitations could actually work despite my rant, Romulan sensors are canonically equal to Federation sensors. I think that that structure should be available to both Feds and Roms. I also would like to see the Feds get the Roms isolinear scanner as well. Perhaps some changes might be in order, though:
Federation scanners:
1. Subspace Scanner: +2 scan range
2. Listening Post: +4 scan range
3. Subspace Telescope: +6 scan range
5. Gravitic Sensor Net: + 10 scan range, 50% cloak detection - 4 per empire
Romulan scanners:
1. Subspace Scanner: +2 scan range
2. Listening Post: +4 scan range
3. Isolinear Scanner: +6 scan range
5. Subspace Detection Grid: +9 scan range, 75% cloak detection - 4 per empire

How about a special Kligon morale structure called the "Monastery of Kahless" located in some native member system other than the homeworld? (the canon 'Boreth Monastery' is my source for this) It could either provide a morale bonus, or a defence bonus. (it raises troop morale by reaffirming their belief in the teachings of Kahless, bringing them to desire their place in Sto'vo'Kor). This would free one of the homeworld-based structures to give the Klingons an internal security bonus, which many people think might be lacking.
Then again, if Romulans and Cardassians intel bonuses are just absorbed by the other empire's defensive intel bonuses, then doesn't that kind of prevent the Roms and Cards from being the best in intel? So if their ships are weaker, slower, less powerful, AND the cloak can be detected relatively easily by some enemies (and the Cardies don't get it at all), AND neither Card or Rom intel will be as effective as before, it seems that the Romulans and Cardassians won't really have any teeth at all!
