They had far less firepower and far less redundant safety features than Federation ships…… biggest drawback for Federation ships was having family onboard…….. but all are not nearly as awesome as the Star Destroyer

Quoted: It also puts the engines far back from the living quarters to keep radiation and engine failures far from the crew quarters. It doesn't fit into series canon, but it would have been an interesting direction to take things. There really does need to be an explanation for how a warrior culture that actively despises engineers, project management, and Power Point manages to keep in the same ballpark as the Federation technologically. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: They had far less firepower and far less redundant safety features than Federation ships…… I disagree. The D7 (the Klingon ship which most frequently appeared in TOS) was smaller than the Enterprise, but packed more overall firepower, and could hammer the crap out of a Federation ship at close range, due to its heavy disruptors. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: There's a popular piece of fan head canon that Klingons are slavers and that the neck is a defensive feature between the wardens and the irradiated slaves shoveling neutrons in the boiler room or whatever. It doesn't fit into series canon, but it would have been an interesting direction to take things. There really does need to be an explanation for how a warrior culture that actively despises engineers, project management, and Power Point manages to keep in the same ballpark as the Federation technologically. I think that comes out of the Star Fleet Battles game. On the ship descriptions, where most ships had auxilary control stations, Klingon ships had security stations. If they were destroyed there was a chance of mutiny every turn. The Klingon ships were designed to separate at the neck and had an emergency impulse engine there. |

Oh and as of Picard have the Borg as Allies. Yeah, the Empire would get its shit pushed in. |

That’s something I wonder about every spacefaring proud warrior race in science fiction. Are most of what we know as Predators part of a vast and peaceful Kardashev 2 or even 3 level civilization who regard the ones who hunt humans as a bunch of backwater whack jobs? |

Quoted: When you watch the shows they had a globe enclosure for the crew that maximizes usable space and minimizes material, plus it is the best design for a pressure vessel. It also puts the engines far back from the living quarters to keep radiation and engine failures far from the crew quarters. Are dilithium crystals radioactive? I don’t think so. All the ST starship designs must rely on materials science way beyond anything known, to provide the structural integrity needed. |

They appeared in the animated series. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kzinti Also in the animated series there was another cat-like race called the Caitian.

Star Trek: The Roleplaying Game basically retconned this by saying the BOP was a joint Romulan-Klingon design (or maybe the Rs licensed it to the Ks or something like that). Hence it was the only Klingon ship to have the cloaking device, but wasn't big enough for plasma torpedoes. |

What is ridiculous about all the Star Trek ships (Romulan, Klingon, Federation et al) is in fact the location of the command bridge on a prominent location basically one bulkhead away from outer space.
The sci-fi designers seem hell bent on the idea that the crew needs to see through windows to see where they are going, or that is the lasting impression. The bridge of every Enterprise for example (Constitution, Ambassador, Galaxy, Excelsior, Sovereign class), has the command bridge located in a bulge on the dorsal surface of the saucer section. A very dumb engineering and tactical faux pax. The reality is the commander sees and maintains situational awareness through a viewscreen monitor so why not bury the bridge in the very center of the starship? Agreed on the Klingon ship designs though; every single one is sinister looking and functional. Least favorite of mine is the Federation-styled Vorcha Class cruiser. I'll take a B'rel class Klingon Bird-of-Prey please. Capable of atmospheric flight, take off and landing plus the cloaking device. Cozy little ship. Incidentally, I think they buffed the Klingons firepower in later series so the UFP (United Federation of Planets) would have half a chance at defeating them, and of course the Federation+Klingon alliance seems to bear this out in the "if you can't beat them, join them" adage.  |

Attached FileAndrew Probert, who had designed the Motion Picture Enterprise refit, painted his idea for the next Enterprise for his own enjoyment around 1980 and hung the painting in his office when he came to work on TNG pre-production, designing sets.  Attached FileNobody had an idea what the new ship would look like, but one day David Gerrold walked in, snatched it off the wall, and took it to Roddenberry. It was approved on the spot and after some back and forth Probert submitted a final design that had the bridge buried in the center of the saucer. Roddenberry lengthened the nacelles a bit and stuck the bridge back on top to finalize the design.
