Analysis: | The Frigate is similar to a Federation destroyer, but lighter tonnage.
The ubiquitous Klingon 'Bird of Prey' from the movies and the newer TV shows
is classified as a frigate if you need a visual aid, but none of the Klingon
ships possess cloaking technology in this game. The Frigate can cruise
at warp 6.7 and alone is dangerous to light to medium tonnage vessels.
As part of a fleet, it can outmaneuver heavy vessels while carrying similar
firepower. Based on the specifications, this appears to be the same hull as the Romulan Frigate. Some of the RPG back story talks about the Romulans and Klingons trading in D-7s and this class of Frigate, and I believe the game models it. The Romulan version is heavier and has different capabilities, but the tonnage is very similar, and the engine is identical. |
