BACKGROUND:
In module R12, ADB decided to flesh out the Battle Frigates. For the Klingons, that meant SSDs for the F6B Drone Frigate (no shock, 4 drones), the F6E Escort, F6S Scout, F6J Penal (not going to add to OP+) and F6T Transport.

.. the F6 is a F5 with a 3rd warp. Since the F5 in OP+ 4.0 has only 1 rear engine (like a Bird of Prey), this wasn't going to work at all. I decided to adopt a new base F5: Atrahasis's Valkrys. The Valkrys looks a lot more like the F5 SSDs and could easily support more warps attached to its hull.
Note: the RK5R will be a Romulan colour of the Klingon F5.

Atra-Hasis's Valkrys (new F5):

KLINGON F6

Yes. All I did was added a 3rd engine to the F5. It's not much, but it makes me happier, and I do like to release my models.

ROMULAN KFR

I already had done the work, 5-6 years ago, to have Romulan colours for the Valkrys. I simply applied the textures and thus now have a model for the KFR.

Edit/Addition:
Korgath F5

Here's a Korgath (Klingon pirates) retexture of the F5. These textures should (will?) work on the F6 model if you copied them over.

Edit/Addition #2 (2011/2/6):
Korgath E5 Battle Escort

The E5 was a prototype design built from what was available: F5 boom, D5 engine, and an E4-like hull.
(in other words, cut off the wings, make the engine bigger, and a few mesh and texture fixes and we're done!)

That's a good looking ship, right there.
We all appreciate your work on the yards.
Thx.

FDW? Fed War Destroyer? I'm trying to figure out what ship you're mentioning and there's multiple possibilities.
So! At the resk of sounding stupid, what are you refering to?

bump. Added the Klingon E5, above.

Oh Sorry.....Firesoul, damn I keep forgetting you guys see so many ships......my bad..

The Klingon FDW (new fast cruiser) dated 2275, in the heavy cruiser section of the vessel library, about 8 ships behind the C7...
I think its part of the (new) line of D5s that came out in later editions....but the schematic looks so different than the standard D5.
That's why I guessing that maybe...just maybe someone might have created a model just for it...

That F6 looks really great!! I was hoping the FDW would look the same

Ah.. Sorry to disapoint, but the FDW isn't all that different than the D5W:
1- make the warps run hotter, providing more warp power.. They don't last as long, by far... and isn't all that valuable economically.
2- replace 2 disruptors by Phaser-1s.

That's it. No spade shape saucer, nothing special otherwise. ;>

That's disappointing to hear

Then why is the library view schematic so different than the other D5's? it kinda sorta looks like a bird of prey if you squint a little

Don't depend on the UI used! I probably ran out of phaser slots with the D5W, and thus for the FDW I had to pick one that didn't match. It's either that or have a ship where you can't easily select your weapons! :>

I've always liked single engine ships.

Thank you Firesoul. Well done sir!

I've never been happy about using the SFB F5 frigate model as the DW, as it is clearly a drastic rebuild of the F5 frigate. Even the warp engines are 1 box more in power.

The F5 Korgath is exactly what the DW should look like so that what we're now using here for our SFC 1 LAN battles from now onwards.

I had to convert it to run in SFC 1 which took a lot of hours, but it was worth it.

Well done.
