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.

Quote HistoryQuoted: 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: And lest people forget, the Bird of Prey is a frigate class ship compared to the Enterprise (a Constitution class heavy cruiser). In the original Star Trek - they had a absolute rip off of the Sub - Sub Hunter classic "The Enemy Below" where the Romulan Warbird was cloaked (like a submarine) and the Enterprise was after her like a Destroyer. The Romulan was only visible when she fired - and when the Enterprise hunted her, the energy needed to run the cloaking device limited the Romulan (like a WWII submarine under water). At one point - the Romulans even stuff debris including a Romulans corpse into their tube and fired it out to simulate that their ship at been destroyed (again ripped off from "The Enemy Below".

The Enterprise is Insanely Huge Also Probert designed the TNG Romulan Warbird and said that was also originally supposed to carry the crew's families and large cargo pods for establishing colonies (cougheggscough). I've always thought that the alliance with the Romulans in the face of the Borg threat that mid-series TNG was tiptoeing towards was the story thread that TNG should have been built around, and not carrying it through the show's greatest failure. Having Federation and Romulan generation ships comingle sounds very much like older quasi-pacifist Gene Roddenberry. Alas the children were annoying and Earth needed saving once a season. |

Federation ship design is actually pretty stupid compared to every other space faring race in the Star Trek universe for multiple reasons such as 1. Until the enterprise e the warp navels were above the saucer section as well as being connected to the engineering section by basically soda straws and if you lose one there goes your warp bubble. 2. The crew section I.e. saucers section is connected to its main source of propulsion and power buy something akin to a chickens neck, snap that now you only have impulse power (that’s if the gas for them isn’t coming through the soda straw struts) or the engineering spaces and since the warp core is were most power for critical systems is generated you lose most of the cool gadgets unless they got some generators around, but I’m pretty sure those fuel sources would also be in places you can’t get to since almost all federation ships were designed for form over function and probably because they were space hippies. 3.

Even with inferior firepower, Empire ships are so much faster they could hit-and-run any Star Trek planet before reinforcements could arrive. Star Fleet isn't going to be very effective w/o a logistics base.

Klingon ships were all warships. The fed ships were almost all exploration first ships. If the Feds wanted to, they could build the best warships. A single Defiant class destroyer/escort ship manned by cadets was nearly a match for the Dominion's heaviest class battle ship. Klingons did have some good tech. The poleron torpedos they fired could often pass through shields. The birds of prey had heavy disruptor cannons. The Heavier ships had even more heavy disruptors. The Klingon ships had lots of armor so even if they lost shields they were okay. A Federation ship that lost shields in a fight usually suffered heavy damage even from phasers. /off Nerd Mode |

But I suspect that they were too alien for the Star Trek writers to wrap their minds around. I think the only other time that they were seen they were cosplaying as humans as part of an espionage operation. It seems like most of the different races on that show were just ‘rubber forehead aliens.’ |

 Star Trek Discovery Opening Scene | T''kuvma''s Speech English Subtitle | Klingons Prepare For Battle No love for T'kuvma? I forgot which ST series this is from, but this was the season opener. I was ALL IN with T'kuvma - butcha know - those blood fueds between all those Houses are a bitch, and he dies too soon [SPOILER ALERT]. The series quickly began to suck overall as they focused on the Federation (SPORE DRIVE).  His ship: "The Sarcophagus, or Ship of the Dead, was a 23rd century Klingon ship from the House of T'Kuvma that included the remains of fallen Klingons on its outer hull. The ship also featured new technology which made the ship invisible to Federation ships." |

I always wondered why they still aged on Star trek, from the first series through the movies as time went on.
You figure if you could beam someone down to a planet and disassemble and reassemble all their molecules via a transporter there would be a way of saving that data. Then every year just beam back to your former self and never age. Right? |

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. The Klingons were staunch allies of the Romulan star empire and as such technology was shared with them. Everything from Cloaking teck to disruptor weapons were of Romulan origin. |

Quote HistoryQuoted:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-XTce38ef98No love for T'kuvma? I forgot which ST series this is from, but this was the season opener. I was ALL IN with T'kuvma - butcha know - those blood fueds between all those Houses are a bitch, and he dies too soon [SPOILER ALERT]. The series quickly began to suck overall as they focused on the Federation (SPORE DRIVE). https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/2048/star-trek-discovery-kahless-klingon-1907547.jpg His ship: "The Sarcophagus, or Ship of the Dead, was a 23rd century Klingon ship from the House of T'Kuvma that included the remains of fallen Klingons on its outer hull. The ship also featured new technology which made the ship invisible to Federation ships." Blergh, kling-orcs. They obviously wanted to make a Warhammer 40,000 series. But they were told to make Star Trek instead. So we wind up with an awkward Warhammer-Stargate hybrid that from what I’ve seen gets dumber with each new episode.  |
