So, you guys are just going to GIVE the Klingons their refit ships for free? I'dve turned them into a mission. Klingons are supposed to get it hard, look at the epic story lines you've given them. When they reach a certain rank they should stop getting free ship but rather have to earn them in glorious battle.
Sur esome would say that the battles leading up to earning that ship are worth it, but given the scale of the ship you're just handing them I say they need a mission where they have to take commendeer the ship! A house gone rogue or something.... Just tell him the kind of ship you're after and have it change the boss at the end of the mission to be that ship, get it down to like 20% hull, board it kill the captain, etc, etc...
I know it'd be a pig to make a mission around it, but I do think it'd add a bit of umph to the Klingon faction. That touch of Klingon you know...
We're just glad that we're getting more ships. I don't think that we should look a gift horse in the mouth. By the same token, we could say that the Federation should earn their refit ships and not be given for free.
Like the klingon above me said, i don't want to kick a gift horse in the mouth. Plus we klingons already subjugated the gorn and the orions already allied with us, so i'm not sure what missiion they could design for us.
I certainly agree that there's no missed opportunity here. The feds got their refit ships for free, so should the Klingons. While I can see the appeal of what the OP says, it shouldn't be for standard ships of your faction. It should be saved for specific mission chains where you need to capture an enemy Starship for an inflitration mission or similar, very much like the Dominion fighter mini arc at the beginning of DS9's sixth season Now that would be fantastic.

In short, it's fine. No lost opportunity here.
