They really made the Kronos-1 look big, evil and menacing in ST:VI, while it AAMOF was about 60-70 meters smaller than the Enterprise refit? Ha!

And comparing the K'Tinga to the Excelsior class, they must've been severely outclassed for a long time. I can't believe it took them several generations to crank out the Vor'Cha...

Maybe they were built in numbers.

The only reason we can hear starships make "whooshing" sounds as well as the explosions and such is because if we couldn't, we'd all be really really really bored.

Why? Well put it this way; would you watch a sci-fi program where all the cool battle scenes were silent? No? Did I hear you say no? Exactly, I rest my case.

Pardon? I can't hear you . . . we're in a vacuum! Hehe!

I've heard that the studio model for Kronos One was especially built from scratch rather than being a refurbishment of the TMP miniature. Can anyone confirm this or is my source telling fibs?

AAMOF?

Can I just say I LOVE Kronos 1 from TUC...

Homer: I'm gonna miss Springfield. This town's been awfully good to us.
Bart: No, it hasn't, Dad. That's why we're leaving.
Homer: Oh, yeah. [pokes his head out the window] So long, Stinktown!

The schematics differ somewhat from the original K'Tinga, but I think they only added some modules and textures, there were more paintings on her. I actually rewatched TUC two days ago, in WS for the first time.

If you flip between the pictures quickly you spot the differences immediately.

So Gorkon's ship has a "flag bridge" plus some sort of an additional thingamajig at the dorsal front surface of the aft hull...

The aft "torpedo tube" thingie is also different from model to model - there is a parabolic dish in Gorkon's ship, but a circular torpedo opening in the TMP ships and a complex angular structure in the "Flashback" ship flown by Kang. The ships usually seen in DS9 seem to have the "Flashback" stern structure.

One would think that Klingons would be in the habit of personally customizing their ships a lot. The basic spaceframes might run in the family for generations, with each warrior adding new gear as technology advanced and the fortunes of the House increased.

Sounds cool. They undoubtedly have their own banners and family crests.
