Here we go again... fun with the word 'frigate'...
FASA Frigates like the Klingon L-9 Sivista and the Federation Chandley would really be heavy cruisers in SFB or any other Trek game I have ever played.
SFB of course makes frigates as smaller warships.
I have used the L-9 as my KCL and even put it in as the OPPLUS KD5/W and new heavy cruiser (KNCA) slots. Other FASA lore suggests that this was a newer design coming in alongside the K' t' inga. I have found it to be a formidable ship in the KCL/KNCA roles. It's personal preference.
My kitbash request is two fold; 1. somewhere in SFB lore there are Klingon vessels where the command boom is seperatable from the secondary hull in emergencies like mutinies or severe damage. 2. If your going to put a third warp engine on a ship shouldn't its location make sense? If you put one on the command boom, then the ridiculously small third warp engines like on the OPPLUS KD5W begin to make sense. Why would the technology that allows the Federation ships to seperate their saucer be exclusive. Klingons may want to die in glorious battles but there are times when even Klingons recognize it's prudent to live to fight another day. Last, if 'I' have to be convinced, for game balance, to give up the idea that in SFB and SFC OPPLUS that Klingons don't use photon torpedoes, I want some more Klingon ships that are asthetically pleasing to look at.
An interesting read to support these ideas can be found here under the L-9 listing:
