New nacelles made. Things will be re-made with them tomorrow, where appropriate.

So, we have 18 ships so far.

if you look at the foremost three you can see that I now have three types of nacelles. CLs and CAs use one, BCs and higher use another (except that BB, i kept it with scaled up CA nacelles), DDs and FFs use a third type.

This means that a lot of them are going to need to be re-released, but thats fine by me. I think I'll get them all in perfect order (with HPs and Breakmods) and release a fleet pack, then go back and reupload the new versions of the ones already released.

Still to come is a few more frigates, hopefully a destroyer or two, and another heavy cruiser. Possibly more after that.

OH! and something else I'm playing with: a Klingon SWAC destroyer


Yes it's ugly. It's meant to be ugly.

Nice! The fleet looks awesome! I love the changes to the warp engines!

I want to use a different body for it - I just slapped it on there for the time being.

A thought; how about those grills on either side of the neck section being hangar decks? (if they aren't already...)

Speaking of fighters, got any Klink attack craft in mind?

Glad to see the green at the front gone. Was gonna comment on that but it's moot now :)

Sensor palettes - its a scout/EW ship after all.

For some reason I read SWAC as "Escort", and from what I can recall some escorts in SFC carry fighters. Ah well, a carrier version would be easy to wip up by changing out the sensor pallets for hangar doors then. The Klinks do have frigate carriers after all...

Yeah, I've been thinking about carriers. No real solution yet. Carriers are also kind of optional in my mind, even though they shouldn't be.

We're up to 22 klink ships.


Strike my last. Now 23 klink ships. I bashed on the deck from the B-10 onto a D7 (without the torp tube). That will serve as the Elint CA, methinks.


If anyone wants to see a closeup of anything, let me know.

Klingon Carrier ideas:

1. D-10 at least one variant dedicated to heavy/medium CV role. Heavy Cruiser - battlecruiser
2. D-18 at least one variant dedicated to medium/light CV role. Destroyer - light cruiser
3. D-2 vkarzadan /Hammerhead variant dedicated to light/auxilliary CV role. Frigate - destroyer

For the vkarzadan/Hammerhead variant CV I'd move the blue-green deflector textures to the forward/bottom edge of the command pod and make the orginal deflector location a forward red forcefield hangar area.

Interesting pics:

FoaS, please disregard my ISC warp engine comments. I counted at least three warp engine variants.

I was actually looking at the D-10 as the dedicated carrier - it has three shuttlebays on the aft end, and the vents on the front can be made into bays as well - same with the V'kar Zadan, but I wouldn't use the hammerhead. I like the idea of using an iconic shape for that ELINT ship alone. Not too sure on using the Gull.

The ISC use very similar warps, but you are right there are a couple.

Most of the KCV role stuff can simply be assigned via the shiplist/fighterlist without changing the paint on any Klingon ships.

The D-2 would require a simple minor texture but how many fighters are going to be launched anyway from that small of a ship?

The D-18 Gull Wing is not the prettiest ship in the fleet but it appears to have a lot more room to be a CVL than other ships its size in the Imperial fleet.  Where is the comparable hangar space on the Sivista or even the K't'inga for comparison? I say empty the D-18 out and stuff it full of one-warrior fighters or even unmanned fighters (taking even less room) and hang back until the opportunity to bring in the carriers big guns present itself. I digress, LOL.

The selection of Klingon ships you have chosen is awesome!

May I see more pics of the 2nd C5/C7 variant in the lower left hand corner of the fleet picture? That may be the next IKV Kraag Dorr!

That's actually nothing new - just a remake of Atra's K-DNL.


"A" is the same ship without the extra impulse and neck extensions. "C" is the D7 + the impulse engines and neck extentions without the third nacelle or second torpedo.

I love the "hammer-head" on the scout.  The cruiser on the far right of the picture appears to have an unusual command pod.  I'd like a closer look.
