Third-Engined Variant as requested by J.Carney  HERE

Romulan Version  HERE

D-10 with KCX head as requested by Klingon Fanatic is  HERE

D-10 with C7 head as requested by Klingon Fanatic is  HERE

[J. Carney]

LOL... it looks like  a BOP and a D6 had a few too many and forgot that relatives aren't supposed to fool around!

Cool though. Kinda like a heavy gunship version of the D6... maybe one that has some Disruptor-40's mounted externally.

[MarianoDT]

It looks very good. Please let us know when it is finished.....

Rofl exactly what i thought, i even called it a "Bird of K'Tinga" in 3D Max   I even swept up the wings a lil to resemble the bird of preys "in-flight" position.

I was half-thinking of it as a derivative of the Mauler Cruisers when i started out, but then it just kind of mutated into a Desperation weapon designed to hit and punch hard in one pass against Fed Dreadnoughts, manned by disgraced warriors looking to restore their honour. Could come up with some nice backstory like that, come to think about it lol.

[Sandman3D]

It actually looks like something the Romulans would have done to some of their aquired Klink ships, to give them a more "Romulan" feel. And those pics are good.  

[Terradyhne]

looks like the Khaless class Dreadnought with raised wings the guns under the secondary hull and the warpnacelles at the place like the D-7 its has and looks a bit better than the Khaless "original" design
the "original" Khaless i made some time ago

If you want to go that route, may i make a suggestion? Make it a Penal Cruiser (J-Varrient in SFB).

Penal cruisers were gulag ships that were commanded by disgraced warriors and crewed by 'unreliables' and criminals from the races of the Klingon Empire. They were a way to patrol and police the Empire and a way to seperate redeamable officers who had greatly erred from the holpessly inept. One of the best commanders in the Klingon Empire once commanded a penal frigate.

These ships were assigned ungalmorous jobs or dangerous ones. They had one unique feature, a small warp engine beneath the boom which would allow the Klingon officers to make a hasty, warp-speed retreat in the event of their extra-rowdy charges rebelling. This engine could generate power for anything but movement while the boom was still attached to the rest of the ship.

The conversion would be easy to do. Shrink a warp engine down to about half-size and mount it underneath the boom on a short pylon. That way it is between the cannons and out of their line of fire.

Volia`, you now have a ship crewed by men desperate enough to drive you modified semi-dreadnaught up to a more powerful ship and blast away in hopes of clearing their names!

[Kaenyne]

Want!!!

[Wolfsglen]

Download Link added to first post guys  

J. Carney , i like that, i think i can make a variation that fits that description, can you describe the boom a little more? I mean would it be along the lines of  THIS  but with a smaller warp nacelle in center?

PS Bonaventure II is up at starfleet universe as well, do a search of my nick there (but check all 3 categories where it asks for file name/author etc) )it didnt turn out as well as i hoped but its there if ya wants to snag it  

 

[Klingon Fanatic]

Its really nice to see some more non-Federation ships, especially Klingon ones on these forums.

If I may offer an alternative to the SFB suggestion, I would say that the Klingon Empire too had its own "Frankenstien Fleet" during the Dominion War... we just never saw them on DS9, LOL.

I am still hoping for a D-10B kitbash with C-7 command boom and engines with the STOCK KCX style "head"

Thank you guys for sharing these.

[Wolfsglen]

I think ive seen something about 99% similar to that KF, i'll have a dig around and see what i can find, im sure i can 'bash up what you describe

Just for giggles, heres a Rom version of the gunboat (it will be up at SFU as well sometime tonight)

Yeah... like that. here look at the C8/9 and B10 classes here at Desty Nova's site, they show the layout well.

What the boom engine is is a small (2 point) warp engine suspended on a strut beneath the boom slightly forward of where it seperates from the main hull. Of course, the enging and the strut don't need to be nearly that big since the emergency engine puts out only about 1/6th the power of the main engines. I'd say shrink the engine  about 1/5th its size (if it's not a whole lot of trouble; if it's too much you can just use the standard one) and mount it just aft where the collar starts on the boom (where the boom starts to get thick). That way, the engine would be just about even with the muzzles of your cannons and between them, puting it out of harm's way.

BTW, a little SFB history that might aid in your backstory- the life and times of Ardak Kumerian. He is the only Klingon officer on which the UFP has a complete record and is considered typical of their officers (though he is a gifted staff officer later in his career).

Y164- Assumes command of the F5 IKV Vigilence

Y166- Due to distinguished preformance in hostilities with the Kzinti Hegemony, Kumerian is promoted and given command D6
        IKV Distruction

Y167- After transfer to the Tholian Harrasment Squadron and distruction of a Tholian patrol squadron Kumerian is promoted to
           Commodore of the Squadron and takes command of D7 IKV Darkslayer.  After failing in an attempt to destroy a Tholian
           Base Station, he is demoted and returned to command of D6 IKV Distruction.

Y170- D6 IKV Distruction mutinies and escapes to UFP Starbase 16. Kumerian is a POW for oneyear and when he returns he
           is given command of penal ship F5J IKV Insufferable. The same year, his son graduates the Military Academy but is
          forced to join the Internal Security Fleet instead of the more prestegious Deep Space Fleet.

Y177- His sentence on the F5J IKV Insufferable complete, Kumerian is restored to command of D6 IKV Distruction. He
           fights his ship on the Federation front.

Y179- After satisfactory preformance agianst the Federation Kumerian is promoted to commodore again and transfered to
           Western Fleet Staff, where he proves to be extremely gifted, though unhappy.

Y181- Kumerian promoted to Admiral of Red Fleet (training) and oversees officer training.

Y182- Admiral Kumerian and Red Fleet are mustered into action agianst Allied invasion code named 'Operation Calvary.'
           Kumerian's flagship C8 IKV Victory is destroyed and his fleet erradicated. Kumerian escapes in the boom section of
           his flagship, but is hunted down and killed before he can return to base.

Edit: Just saw the Romulan version... nice, nice, nice. I can never have too many Birdies flying around my base. Looks great!

Let me be MORE specific: Atrahasis' D-10B Riskadh and Atrahasis' C-7 Command Boom and C-7 Warp engines. Maurath (formerly TVL) did a kitbash with Atras D-10B and C-7 but it still had Atrahasis' C-5 style command "head" on it.

Qapla!

[Wolfsglen]

How bout this KF I literally just put this together in Max:

 
 
 
 

And thank you for the info Carney, i literally love  reading back history like that. I will see what i can do for ya tomorrow along those lines and will post some WIP for you to see and fine-tune if need be.
 

[Klingon Fanatic]

PERFECT!

Well done!

Now, I assume it needs additional lighting?

Perhaps make the "head" a little bit smaller and have one variant with the C-7 head too please.

Hehe no prob, LODs and HP etc for SFC:OP ok? If so i can get it uploaded in about 30 mins to SFU for you along with the Rom version of that other ship.

PS: lighting for SFC2/OP is all done, im afraid im useless with SFC3 stuff but i can upload it so someone else can convert it if need be.

[J. Carney]

Sweetness, man! You just on a roll today or somethin', three awesome ships in less than 12 hours!

Hehe thank you, i wish i could do more original stuff than kitbashing, but i have a lot of fun putting together stuff like this.

Absolutely a record. I've been askind of a D-10B with C-7 engines and C-7 head for almost three years. Adding the STOCK KCX head only occured to me after Terradyne made his K' teremny destroyer...

At any rate if we can have one of these with the C-7 head as well, these will make it into the FASA Trek to SFC Collection ...part II...

KF

[Wolfsglen]

Rom version of the gunship uploaded guys...

Romulan Version  HERE  

Should have the KCX/D10 up in a little while.

[Azel]

Wolfsglen,
Thank you greatly for these upgrades in the Klingon Fleet

I hope you get to do some more
Maybe something to replace the Nonsense Kvort class BoP
   

[Wolfsglen]

Yer welcome guys   Got several more in progress including the one mentioned by J.Carney and i'll do the D10 with a C7 head too, but i will leave them till tomorrow.

KF, your D10 is up HERE  

PS: Forgot to mention, i did actually shrink the head a bit but the pics show the old one still. Guess that makes me a Klingon Headshrinker  

 

[Klingon Fanatic]

Awesome! Thank you.

[Klingon Fanatic]

BUMP for folks who missed these fine ships.

The FASA to SFC collection has 13 D-10 variants (10 TOS/TMP Klink, 2 Romulan, 1 Lyran style) these two will raise that number to 15!

There is a post TNG D-10 kitbashed with Cleeve's post TNG Kron Destroyer called the Molkatha Class. IIRC its up at SFU or STMODDIRECTORY.

Qapla!

D-10 as requested by Klingon Fanatic is  HERE  

Very cool, may I request / suggest moving the guns to where the narcelles are and place the narcelles underneath where the guns are. I think that would look viscious as well. Greast work again sir.I have a TOS Klingon varient that needs a slight mesh tweak and some textures. If you're interested in working on it,I'll send it to you.
