Proposal: T1 Klingon D7

Due to the recent revelation of the Romulan faction and 1-50 Klingons, I propose a Tier 1 Klingon D7 ship to be comparable to the TOS Constitution class and the inevitable Tier 1 TOS Romulan BOP.
This D7 would only have the D7 skin, and perhaps a 2 Fore 1 Aft weapon layout, akin to the TOS Constitution.
Furthermore, this ship would be made IN ADDITION to the existing Tier 2 K'tinga/D7 refit. Not replacing.

I think it's more likely Cryptic will (if they ever add any lower tier Klingon ships) add the D5.
Otherwise it would be D7 overkill, because we'd have it a T1,3,5 and Fleet Level.:)
Heh, I might have to roll a Rom toon, to get the KR cruiser.
<edit> Just occurred to me the KR isn't canon, my bad.
LOL

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
Let's hope they'll get one.
At least then they'll have a ship with style.:P
I just find it a bit silly that they would include the D7 Skin on the Tier THREE K'tinga. Since Cryptic won't likely give the TOS Connie a 4/2 Layout, that is possible with the D7 skin, I tried to think of a way where you can have a classic ship and make it comparable to the existing TOS Connie.

Back in the old days when Klingons actually started from Level 1, people did talk about having a D7 as one of the starter ships (instead of just the B'rel). But instead, they just made the D7 and K'T'inga one in the same (except different skins).
If Cryptic really wanted to, they could easily could have the B'rel, D4, D5, and D7 as all Starter ships for KDF. (D4 is already in game as the Koro'Tinga, and would be counter to the NX / Utopia), the D7 counter to the TOS Consitution.
For Romulans the TOS R-BoP counter for the TOS D7 and Consitution.
Nope, the D5 should be T2 ship at least, so I can eventually get a fleet version of the ship - cause they don't make fleet variants of Tier 1 ships.
And I reaaaaaly want that one to use at end-game!
The ship yes, but the name comes from a less-than-non-canon source:
"Star Fleet Battles", which is not even Star Trek.
KR does not stand for anything related to "Romulan".
It stands for "Kestrel" and actually applies to the transferred D6, while the D7s were called K7R.
In FASA's material they were called V-11 "Stormbird".
In recent novels Romulan versions of the D7 are called "Ventarix", but what they're called in canon is unknown.
*EDIT: I see your edited your post while I wrote my response*
There is a Fleet D7 at tier 5
having another D7 as a tier 1 +1 ship makes little sense.
The tier 1 +1 ship should be the D5
To me, I just say "Romulan D7", because that's what it is.
Besides, there is nothing in canon that stated that the Klingons traded any other type of ship. All we know Romulans exchanged their Cloaking Devices for Klingon D7s, which had the power reserves to power the new Cloaking Devices.
They really should add the D5, surprised they havn't.
But with the D7 and K'T'inga, it's a good proof that Cryptic should revise the ship system so you have the option of leveling with it.
Who said I was surprised? :rolleyes:
I mean, KDF players actually wanting actual canonical KDF content, go figure! :rolleyes:
Sorry, not canon.
People give it the Designation of K7R or K-R, but it's not offically called that.
Besides, I seriously doubt the Romulans would even use that designation. Partly, out of pride.
A good example in the real world would be Chinese military equipment that was purchased from the Russians, they didn't keep the Russian or NATO designations and instead renamed it according to their own designations.
That's why Cryptic should just refer to the Romulan D7, as the Romulan D7. Just like the majority of Star Trek fans do.
