Klingon D6 - WIP

[MadMan1701A]

Thanks everybody. "Old Car Parts" is what I was aiming for.

Looking at some of my pics, here, I realize that I forgot to give it any disruptors. I better fix that... wouldn't want them to have to rely solely on torpedoes.

I guess I will put them up front on the "head" where they are on the D7...

How about putting a few on the body near the ramscoops?

That's a good idea. I might make them look like added on components.

If memory serves, the ramscoops for Klingon ships would be in the front of the 'wings' on the secondary hull. That is also where I believe they were on the D-7 ships in TOS. If they were placed there on a D6 as well, they may very well be a retrofit to keep the vessel relevant in a new era.

msbae, your memory does indeed serve. The D7 used to have disruptors on the front of its nacelles, where other ships have Bussard collectors.

Nice work, again, MadMan!

That's a very strange place to put a Disruptor. An enemy could knock out both the Klingon ship's energy weapon and their Warp Drive with a single shot. Someone in the KDF wasn't thinking...

Or were too arrogant to think they could lose an engine.

...or wanted to minimize the distance between the diruptors and the warp nacelles, for some technobabble technical purpose...
...or wanted to maximize separation of the disruptors from each other, for some other technobabble technical reason...

There are all sorts of possible reasons. With handwave tech, all things are possible.

 

[Praetor]

Maybe the original D7's main disruptors routed power directly from the 'graf units' similar to the setup on the Reliant's roll bar?

In Starfleet Battles, Klingon ships had phasers mounted at the forward edge of the main body at the corner where the wing meets. The location ostensibly was for improved firing arcs.

 

[Brutal Strudel]

I really like how this turned out.

As well you should. She's a beaut.

That's what I was trying to say earlier. Glad someone could help articulate that thought since my brain apparently wasn't working right earlier.
