Yes, The Tantalus Field may be used against a ship that has shields or is cloaked. Cards that state they may be used against ships with shields up or cloaked are only being extra specific about how they may be used.

Tantalus Field states that you cannot perform any free actions on the round you perform its action. How does that interact with trying to activate Tantalus Field as a free action (from Martok, for example). Would it work or not?
