[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] And about the battlecruiser problematique: I haven't yet posted my latest silly theory thereon, have I? Basically, I think the different exteriors do not truly mark different classes. Instead, there is a basic spaceframe in use, and different Klingon Houses and even individual Klingon Kaptains decorate, equip and upgrade their ships differently. A plain TOS-like ship denotes a young or puritan captain (like Kang or Kor), a "greebled" one like those from TMP indicates veteran captains from noble and wealthy Houses. Koloth's ship from "Trials and Tribble-ations" is somewhere in between. And from the looks of it, the Klingons in "Unexpected" were well off as well... The difference between a D-5 and a D-7 lies deeper, possibly in the nature of the main powerplant, or perhaps (if we want to evoke the scaling problematique) the size of the spaceframe. Externally, a D-7 can look like a ship from TAS, or a D-5 like a ship from TNG. Similarly, there is an underlying difference between D-12 and the other, non-retired BoP types, but we're not privy to it. And Klingons redecorate their BoPs to a lesser degree than their battlecruisers. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
