Where is the next enemy? Use your Targ as hound dog!

As already mentioned in this thread, we need some ground scanning abilities for the Klingons as well.

Here an idea concerning this issue:

If a Klingon looks for anomalies or computerconsoles, they could use their normal scanner/tricorder, like the feds do.

But why we don't use a Targ for "scanning" the next ground enemy? You could instigate a Targ to find the next group, like a hound dog (it already looks like a mix of a dog and a boar, both have a really good osphresis).

Additionally the Targ could be used like a member of your away team, that could be trained (growing from a puppy to adult) or stuffed (bodyarmor, sharpened teeth and claws,...) to attack enemies stronger (or find to them faster). And the Targ take place like Portos in the captains quarter :).

Another addition could be a battle between the Targs... Petfight between the captains!

The Sehlat could implemented on the federation site.

I think that is a great and funny addition. What do you think about that? Some additions?

    Yes, I agree. The targ should be usable as a finder.

    Sounds interesting. The Sehlat idea less so, it's not really Federation standard operating procedure to use their pets for scanning. I can see it for Targs.

    You are right, the feds won't use animals for scanning... they will got pets on the ship or in quarters. And the klingons use them for fighting and scanning :)

    I love this idea, An actual usuable targ would be awesome.

    The samme thing I was wandering about today. Are klingons to stupid that they do not know how to use a scanner? Specially in ground tactics the scanner is very importen so that there will not be so much loosing time in scouting and map reading f.x. sattelite debri or simillary missions in space. Idea about targ as a fighting/scouting is really good, but instead of using pets for this it should be an ability the samme as an NPC targbreaderi fed misssions.

    The targ should be an attack pet. Something you can drop 1/x minutes and send it nipping the heals of some feddie.

    Sicking him on a fed or other baddie on away missions, or making a BO that has a skill to summon 2 or 3 at a time to ambush an enemy would be a splendid job. I doubt that Cryptic would even look into it.

    I would like to have some over-sized targ to wreak havoc on my opponents...Maybe for some targ-wrestling matches? lol

    This sounds so Klingon! It's a perfect idea but mostly for enemy groups. It could open up some interesting game options though like missions where you have to find a spy or your in a base and have to find where some miners are hiding.

    They could be used in missions like Dogs are used to find drugs. Maybe Targs could stay as pets like the way they are now (but add a whole breeding system, like tribbles) and then make the Monster Dog act as the Hound dog. Seems like that would diversify it more and give the Klingons more content.
