What do you think is the one T6 ship that almost every Klingon fan would buy?

What do you think is the one T6 ship that almost every Klingon fan would buy - provided the fan would buy ships at all.
Ideally don't list any ships we already have (even if they are inside lockbox like the D4X Pilot Bird or Prey, promos like the D7 or something similar hard to get).

This is not just about your preference, but what you believe the preferences in the player community are.

No poll, since that will just limit the ideas.

Vor'Cha? A Klingon Science Vessel? A Gorn Science Vessel? A Carrier? Some Fek'lhri ship? Another Bird of Prey?

What kind of prerequistes would it need to fulfill? Must it have a specific specialization or bridge officer layout? A specific play style?


Persoally I tend to think Vor'Cha is the safest bet, because it's the one canon ship that has no T6 variant yet. But what else could there be? What would sound like a guaranteed sale?

    some kind of captured federation ship. would be cool
  • nightkennightken Member Posts: 2,824 Arc User
    vor'cha is probaby the safe choice... though a good science ship with cloak should sell pretty well.

    if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.

    I don't feel like I can speak for "the community" and that kind of opinion is suspect -- real polling with random selection and questions to show bias usually does not match subjective gut feelings.

    I'd like to buy a T6 carrier (Klingon Vo'Quv?) and possibly science ship (Gorn I guess)

    I wouldn't mind if they added the Science-based light cruiser from Klingon Academy. I may not like all the KDF ship designs from that game, but there are a few from there I would like to see in STO.

    KDF definitely needs more platforms to perform "space magic".

    It's a bit like saying "Want these elves need is more dwarf style beards".

    Oh, and I'd say Vor'cha although I'm not in the market for one myself.

    I'd support a T6 Vo'Quv carrier. Carriers were meant to be the unique KDF offering waaaaay back in the day. Be nice if the KDF were no longer the only faction that lacked a 2 hanger T6 carrier
  • nikeixnikeix Member Posts: 3,972 Arc User
    I wantses me a T6 Gorn science vessel. Showcasing that the KDF draws designs from its member races is a great way to contrast them against the homogeneity of Starfleet.
  • seaofsorrowsseaofsorrows Member Posts: 10,919 Arc User
    Well, if you're talking about a fan of Klingon ships from watching the shows/movies, then there aren't really all that many to choose from. You're looking at the D7/K'Tinga, The B'Rel/K'Vort, Vor'cha, Negh'Var, or something from the JJ Verse like the D4X.

    Most of those are already in game at T6, but the obvious one missing is the Vor'Cha. I might be forgetting one, but I believe it's the only canon KDF ship that doesn't have a T6 variant. It would seem like the obvious choice to me.

    I agree, a captured ship would be nice. I remember an expanded universe 23rd century starfleet ship taken by the Klingons, then repainted and used by them for years under a new name. Can't for the life of me remember what it was...

    Pity we can't modify the non-faction ships, get a Breen ship with Klingon hull and engine colours.

    I'd say a Vor'cha and T6 Vo'quv would be top on the list, followed by anything Science. KDF have a severe lack of science for Admiralty.

    Then again Romulans are also science deprived in Admiralty, and are quite Tac heavy.

    I think that it just seems that way because of the way they structure the missions more than anything else. I have as many if not more science ships in my KDF roster as I do in my Fed rosters; some actually cross over like the Rhode Island - and the Intel cruiser is +20 sci per any ship. I also have 2 Gorn ships, the Breen carrier, and the Dyson science destroyer. What I am lacking KDF wise is Tac ships Got plenty of Eng, too.

    Vor'cha is what I think most people would want, followed by Negh'var - but a (true) big battleship might also be popular.

    I think turning the annorax into a two hangar science carrier might outsell a vor,cha.

    For me it would be an Intel K'vort. But I wouldn't presume to speak for everyone else.

    Fek'lhr class as a klingon science ship (will never happen since this ship was from star trek armada 2, and is probably protected intellectual property):

    In theory they could license it. But yeah they have to license it.

    Couple shots of the same ship from A2 where the mesh and skin were both redone by a fan who was into mdding the game. The Fek'lhr class was originally from SFC III. It was a Science ship there as well .Don't remember who made SFC III but whoever it was would be the original license holder.

    There is already a T6 Negh'Var.

    As far as I know, the Vor'cha is the only canon KDF ship that does not have a T6 version which is.. strange.

    I have four that I designed last year. They're in the Klingon section. I took to the other races of the Empire to make them. Which makes sense. The KDF isn't the Federation. They wouldn't redesign the same coffee table 1000 times and call it a new ship each time.

    While I do like some of the T6 KDF ships. I'd prefer something a little better than a KDF design with Federation ships stats. The stats for the ones I designed could still use some adjustment. But what those that visit the KDF forums and myself put together at the time is still there. It will work as a good baseline from which to build and tweak from. Well when I have to time work on that.

    Vor'cha certainly seems to have a majority vote. Maybe I should have taken it off the table for the thread - it's too obvious, since it's a canon vessel that still hasn't gotten a T6 version.

    There is already a T6 Negh'Var.
    Indeed.
    This makes me wonder: Is that the reason KDF fans want more Klingon ships? Because they are not even aware of the ones that exist, and didn't bother to check or buy them? No wonder Cryptic has problem making enough money from KDF vessels.

  • seriousxenoseriousxeno Member Posts: 473 Arc User
    Well, I know I would have IMMEDIATELY bought the T6 D7.

    But oh wait, Cryptic went "torpedo dat hope" and made it super-frelling rare.

    So I guess at this point its a T6 Vo'quv for at least.

    No idea what the community might want.

    T6 Vo'Quv carrier, but only assuming the BoP pets get an upgrade, are able to fly properly to keep targets in their weapon arcs, keep up with the carrrier, and carrier commands get fixed.

    Another BoP would be well received. I'd prefer something that can make use of the Ning'Tao skin and better yet kit-bash with it and other existing BoP skins, of course in a way that isn't false advertising as the Kor is to B'rotlh.

    I always liked the look of that ship. It was actually first shown in Star Trek: Armada. I think it may make a decent science ship but it doesn't really have the science "look" IMO.
