Hmm, I noticed this bares a passing resemblance to Star Wars’ Snowspeeder (T-47 Airspeeder if you want to be precise) from the Empire Strikes Back. The ship itself looks surprisingly un-klingon. You could slap a Fed symbol on it, change the color to gray, blue, and a little white, and it’d be Federation.

I’d say it probably look like a sort of proto-cardassian design, but it works well as Klingon.

This is a great design, it looks beautiful from any angle. But as mentioned we could slap any other emblem on it and no one would guess it could be Klingon.

The front end reminds me of the Scoutcraft from Insurrection, with the central oval deflector?

Nice! This is quite a different design than most other Klingon ones. The tube in the front has a familiar feel to the torpedo launchers we’ve come to know and love over the years, but it could very well be a deflector.

Now there’s something you don’t see everyday. Why was it that in the other series of trek shows, we never saw these types of shuttles? Better late than never I guess.

Excellent! I’ve been waiting years to see this one up close and personal. Definitely Klingon but something different than we’ve ever seen before. Thanks Doug!

Just an observation:
This ship almost looks like the nose part of most klingon ships. That’s why it seems so familiar. Still a good design though.

Nice! I always liked this ship, mostly because it was so different from the standard Klingon configuration, yet still easily identifiable as one of theirs.

I can’t say I get much of a Klingon vibe from this ship, but it only makes sense that they would have some diversity, and it’s certainly a beautiful design. Very good and detailed modeling too, I’m especialy intrigued by the docking port. I guess my only grip with it is that it is more of an abstract design and has less of the “practical” details, recognisable hardware, of the other 22nd century klingon ships. I was somewhat surprised that it seems to have absolutely no windows, but looking back, neither has the raptor, and the bop has very few.

I don’t think I ever paid attention to the Klingon Transport before. Sort of looks like something that would be in the TNG Era, because it doesn’t look so clunky. But I like it. Seeing Disruptor Ports and a Torpedo Tube. That things got spines.
