[edit] Variants
[edit] Qin class
The Qin class design is not as progressive compared to the other types. It loses its red nacelles, has smaller wings (in ratio to the size of the vessels) and the neck stem is much smaller due to an enlarged hull at the fore section. The overall structure is vaguely reminiscent of early Andorian Kumari Class vessels due to the wings structural design, as well as the forward hulls size being dwarfed by the forward command module. Regardless, it has a very strong Klingon flavor to its overall design.[edit] Birok class
The Birok Raptor is a variant of the Qin Raptor, and is available at the General rank.[edit] Performance
With its ability to mount dual cannons, 3 tactical bridge officer stations, significant focus on weapon power and it's cloaking capability, Heavy Raptor has the most destructive potential of all ships in Klingon Defense Force.
Compared to Federation Starfleet ships, Heavy Raptors are most similar to Tactical Escort Retrofit. Heavy Raptors are larger vessels, with slightly stronger hulls and much more crew capacity, but they have slightly weaker shields and lower turn rate.
[edit] Standard Configuration
Klingon starships come with standard equipment and weapons of the lowest mark available at the ship's minimum rank. The items provided are appropriate to the type of vessel and its related playing style.
Equipment
[edit] Abilities
Most Klingon vessels are equipped with a cloaking device. This can only be activated while not at Red Alert, but gives a 15% damage bonus when decloaking.
