That is an.........interesting design to say the least. What is that ships roll? Is that like a very high level ship that any Klingon player can buy once they reach that very high rank or is it like a mission specific ship like a super weapon ship thats all offence and no defence or what? It barely looks Klingon.

Technically, it's not Klingon. On reaching Captain's rank, you get a series of missions involving Emperor Kahless that pit you against the Fek'Ihri (you may remember some of the screenies from Gre'thor I posted earlier). This is one of their ships, the Kar'Fi battle carrier - you face at least one of these things in the space battle portions of the Kahless missions. This is the "free ship" you can get at Lieutenant General, like the retrofitted Galaxy/Intrepid/Defiant you can get at Vice Admiral on the Fed side.

The carriers - both this and the Vo'Quv you get at Brigadier General - seem to fit a "science vessel" role for the Klingons, though the Birds-of-Prey (with the universal consoles) can do the same if set up that way. And since they are carriers, they (of course) also come with fighters. For the Kar'Fi, they're called S'Kul fighters, and they also trail fire - and they can kamikaze into your enemies, too!

Yeah its a "captured ship". About the Kzinti question- CBS doesn't want to deal with the guy who owns the Kzinti rights.(Cbs does not own the kzinti).And Cryptic would have to pay off the owner. It's kinda like how Terry Nation owns the IP of the Daleks on Dr who, BBC had to negotiate use with him to bring them back.

You also have to consider that Doctor Who's scope is somewhat more limited. It doesn't have games coming out the wazoo, for starters. Can you imagine how much the BBC would have to pay Nation's estate if they had as many Doctor Who computer games as they do Star Trek ones? Because you know they'd all feature the Daleks in some fashion!

I wondered where my Bird-of-Prey escort went to when I did this on my Klingon character. Even with my decked-out ships - and facing three Federation battleships on top of it! - the space part took longer than it should have.

And the away team stuff was just friggin' SCARY.

..and they didn't model impulse engines and gave it similar handling as the Ent-D.. and in this case, D stands for Dreadful.

I noticed that, the manueverability on the Galaxy (and Galaxy-X) is total crap...

It wouldn't be the Gal-X, so I'm guessing the retrofit? (Or if you're referring to the Nebula as a Galaxy-type ship, heh.)

I think he's referring to the mere engineering section after saucer sep. My refit Excelsior still runs circles around any galaxy..

So I did Devidians episode 2...so far, I'm glad that it's not just blow-crap-up for these missions. It provides a little more "Trek" feel, like the Deferi ones with the finding the star maps and healing patients. (And I wanna test out this gun...)
