When you type D'Kyr into the Yahoo search engine, you get some pretty fucked up stuff. Try it, you'll see.

Well, at least we know where the Federation gets its penchant for zillions of ship designs.
My only problem with the Vulcan ships is the completely irrational complaint that they're all so big. The D'Kyr is about as large as the E-E from the looks of things, which just strikes me as odd.
On the other hand, it was a smooth re-use of the old T-whoever-lian plague ship model.

Oh, okay, thanks. I tried looking in Google, but didn't find the name.
As for the two looking similar, I think the only real similarity is the flattish main hull versus the vague pyramid-shaped hull of the "usual" Vulcan ship. Were I to venture a guess, I'd say that perhaps the D'Kyr is actually an older ship type than the pyramid-hulled ring-warpers, sort of an Ambassador vs. Galaxy sort of thing.
