T6 Klingon Ship Voting

cuchulainn74

As promised and with the previously mentioned disclaimers, here's a list of KDF ships that might be popular votes for T6 treatment. If something big is missing, don't blame me I begged somebody else, anybody else, to do this.
Running tally of write-ins:
Vo'Quv : 11
Hegh'ta: 3
K'Vort: 4

Vor'cha is basically guaranteed to be next with the Sovereign. (Though they may just do the Sovereign.) Both are likely to have a lieutenant commander something/temporal seat.

I don't see a Sovereign having a Temporal seat. I can see Command and as a stretch Pilot.

If the sovereign doesn't get a hybrid temporal seat, then the Ambassador/Kamarag will, and they'll be next.

I'd like to see a Klingon ship. Not a jeghpu'wI' ship; A true ship of the Empire. The other necessary quality in my opinion is that it should be a science platform. No ship listed in the options meet these criteria. Repurposing a K't'inga as science ship would be my choice as an agile vessel comaparable to the Fed Pathfinder. I'd love to see a T6 D7 but the last thing the KDF needs is more Eng-centric cruisers. Failing this a D7 styled ship that fit into the destroyer class would be hot. Not as pressing; I still play my Tac Captains.

Well... cruisers typically get the Command seating these days. And thanks to Star Trek Insurrection, Pilot seating on a Sovereign is plausible because of the part where Riker manually pilots the Enterprise.

The Ambassador is plausible though. Although I think the T6 might technically be the Guardian. If you compare the Guardian to the concept art for the Ambassador, you see similarities.

Gotta go with the T6 Kar-fai as a way of giving Klingons access to the Jupiter's ship skill.

ikonn

K't'inga and/or Vor'cha!

As the KDF doesn't have the resources to churn out new designs, it makes perfect sense to me that they would continue using tried and true designs.

The one problem is apparently the current Kar'fi keeps ending up with texture problems. Last one I saw was missing most of its hull.

Voted Varanus tho I'd actually rather see the Balaur or Zilant.

for a pure klink Id love to see a t6 vo'quv

markhawkman

I'm hoping the next bundle is science. We have plenty of cruisers and escorts.

talonxv

Need a Vo'Quv or a Varanus. Need some science ships for the KDF.

markhawkman

Maybe the Orion ship from Journey to Babel? Or a modern design inspired by it?

It'd make a nice sci/pilot ship.

dracounguis

Varanus: Cool looking ship and KDF in desperate need of a true Sci ship.

r5e4w3q2

Not a bad list, but I am looking for a T6 Vo'Quv. A second, more Tac-y BoP would be nice as well.​​

jexsamx

Kamarag. No real reason, I just like it.

Seriously though some T6 KDF Sci would be nice. Kamarag is at least Sci-flavored, albeit still a cruiser for all intents and purposes.

nightken

really needed to an all of the above choice. plus vo'quv

waywardwanderer

I voted Varanus, both because the KDF really needs a T6 sci ship and because the Gorn line of vessels needs something to cap it off. My T5-U Varanus is a beast of a ship, but my Gorn toon is falling way behind my KDF tac-captain and all of my Fed toons in terms of ship power.

No "other" voting option here but you forgot the Vo'Quv, one of the (STO) Klingon signature ships. It was supposed to be the defining thing of the faction.

So a T6 Vo'Quv with a Klingon, Gorn and Orion themed skin and science seating would go a long way of helping KDF out. My second vote (I'm not adding to the poll, because ) would go to the Varanus for a T6 science ship and possible Nebula bundle.

The canon ships are mostly at T6 already aside from the D7/K'Tinga which faces some sort of "connie" scenario and the Vor'Cha which is probably going to be bundled with a Sovereign.​​

Dangit, see I knew I'd miss something. Sorry.

Vor'Cha, followed by K't'inga, Hegh'ta, Vo'Quv and maybe the Dyson Science Destroyer or one of the Gorn Science Vessels. Preferably not the Varanus, since that's the one I like least visually.

The priority should definitely be to the canon ships.

For the Gorn Science Vessel, my "Make it relatively cheap" idea would be to make two new materials for them and give ups the option of any of the existing 3 Gorn Science Vessel costumes. Materials take some time to make and apply, but probably a lot less than making a completely new 3D model, possibly with exchangeable parts.

Why no Vo'Quv on this list? I vote Vo'Quv. It's a biased list, half aren't actually kingon.

That's a stretch, though. Vo'Quv missing is definitely an oversight as well as the abscence of raiders and raptors (although B'Rel already got a T6, don't know about the raptors), but "Klingon side" in STO is the red federation of Klingons, Gorn and Orions (as well as a few other minors, at least Nausicaans got a ship of sorts). It's not about "actual Klingon" designs here and the red side can't really afford to split hairs at this point.​​

Vo'Quv. Gotta get a T6 Vo'Quv.

hugin1205

I have a T5U scourge and a fleet T5U Kar'fi - those are obvious ones.
That said - the Scourge would need to be improved. If you compare the T5 Scourge and Guremba, the Guremba is better in almost every aspect (except maybe the turnrate).
Vor'cha is also very iconic, so I am sure it'll be there soon.
And the TOS klingon cruisers may Feature in this update as well - would make sense, as it's back to TOS

mirrorchaos

K't'inga for t6 treatment, already got the excelsior as a t6 version, time to get another old work horse to that mark as well.

tessaravejgan

As usual all of the above and more.

lopequil

I'm torn between the iconic vor'cha and the vo'Quv. I'd really like to get some more use out of my BoP hangar pets; they're the only frigates the KDF have.
