(77)The K'T'Inga Class Battlecruiser

[@sailingmaster]

The K'T'Inga is the ultimate expression of the Klingon warship. They took the look of the original D7 and made it sleek, beautiful and deadly looking as hell. The starship equivalent of sharks. Love this ship. Thank you!

[@daviddyster4145]

Nice to see the Klingon ships getting some love.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

The D7 and K'T'Inga Classes have always been among my favorite Star Trek Starship designs :)

One thing, of many things, that I love about your ship class videos is, you do them in a way thats so original... like, they aren't your typical class covers that one finds all over KZbin that barely has any variation from the last. Truly, you are the master of beta cannon and trek producers today would be lucky to have you writing for them

[@jimb8601]

This is the first Star Trek ship I ever saw when TMP aired in 1983 on ABC. It’s such a beautiful ship even though it gets upstaged by the Enterprise several scenes later. I was glad it made a prominent return in TUC as Q’onos One.

[@chrismayer3919]

Hell, to this day I STILL get the creeping gargoyles every time I see the shape of a K’T’Inga class cruiser on my ships viewscreen, allies or no!

[@RailsOfTheSouthProductions]

Definitely the definitive class of the Klingon Empire. The D7 and K’T’inga class were always the backbone of the empire, and would continue to be so.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

100% Agree!

[@stevenewman1393]

🖖😎👍very well done indeed and very nicely well executed and informatively explained in every detail way shape and form provided on this subject matter and format on the D'7 and K'tinga class vessel's, And the Klingon D'7 and K'Tinga class upgrade has always been my favorite Klingon designs as well as various other types of Klingon vessels as well indeed!,👌.

[@JTeam45]

The K'T'Inga Class is my favorite Klingon ship! Very cool video as well, it was a very tumultuous development for the class it seems.

[@TheKosh]

i like how you used some fasa info on the design of the ship

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much :)

[@andrewdelafranier1785]

I've really enjoyed your Beta videos. This one is one of the best yet!

[@edcliffe2988]

I liked the references to the models of weapons. I, too, had the FASA Star Trek RPG and used the Starship Construction Manual extensively. I was even able to break down the maths used in determining how to construct components. Good job. The k't'inga is a personal favourite. The older D-4 Predator is even sexier.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much Ed :)

[@grimreaper6557]

Awesome Video on the K'T'Inga. Personally its one of my favorite ships next to the Bird of Prey, its sleek and powerful and shows its age well it was truely one of the Empires Crown Jewles, even if it couldnt beat up Veger =). would love to see more of the KDF ships in the future. again Thanks for another awesome video as always great job=).

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much James, and I DO have plans to make Klingon Design videos in the future ;) Research has already begun!

[@randybentley2633]

I do have to wonder when Decker completed the connection to Voyager 6 and ascended with Ilia if any of the accumulated knowledge, including the design specs for those 3 K'Tinga class Battle Cruisers, was transmitted to Earth, or did it just disappear into the Ether...?

Thanks a ton! Glad you enjoyed it Darin :)

[@kaidenshepard8446]

A short reply I know, but I look forward to the Vorcha class - that is one of my favourites and then the Negh'Var. I know alot of Klingon fans like the K'Tinga class and indeed it has a good history, the design or one similar that both the Klingons and Romulan empires had at one point in history, if I am correct, with their exchanging of technologies. I look forward to the next one good sir, keep at it, you're doing us all proud.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Thank you so much Kaiden, and you are correct :)

[@chrismayer3919]

Which ship do you think more resembles the D7 / K’T’ Inga class; the Vorcha class or the Negh’Var class?

Great video. Could have used a "recording" of Captain Sulu's opinion. 😉 Please keep 'em coming. I'd be interested in a breakdown of the Bird-of-prey variants. Seems like some were relatively small like in ST IV and some seemed huge (via space shots of the BoP vs Fed starships) though I'm sure real world explanations are that it was just a mistake by special effects crews.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

LOL Thanks Bill! And no worries, Bird Of Prey videos will be coming ;)

[@DissociatedWomenIncorporated]

You know if I was one of these Klingon engineers threatened by the High Council to upgrade the D-7 class or die, I’d comply (for the glory of the Empire if nothing else, certainly not for the glory of those bureaucratic, honourless petaQ), but I’d _also_ ensure that the standardised design for the baffle plates had, engraved, in a very difficult to remove way, text stating “the High Council members go to bed with their targs”. I’ve got a spark of pettiness inside me, and while as a member of human society I try to suppress that, as a Klingon it would have such a chance to shine that they would write _glorious operas_ about my passive-aggression.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Well glory to you, and your house! :)

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Perhaps, but it is "A Klingon" thing :P

[@GankbotShuk]

Just be sure you are never caught, for the High Council does not forgive....or forget. O.O

[@Karagianis]

I doubt the engineers would be executed for failed tests, just so long as the vessel they end up presenting to the high council works. An incentive to test everything properly before you put it into service. If any Klingon engineer turned in a ship in the condition the Enterprise A launched in for example, they're going to have a most unglorious death in the near future!

[@susanesquer1520]

[@bear8696]

it is fast, but not the fastest ship in the verse. it is tougher then most. it has big guns. it has a cloak that works. the potential and the limitations of this class are solely in whoever is in the command chair.. as a class of ship i give it two thumbs up

[@DamienDrake2940]

Talk about being born under a bad sign. The first chance the K'tinga gets to shine and it's against V'ger. I think vids like this about the lesser used or one off races would be fun. The Gorn and Tholian are 2 that come to mind. TOS had a lot of lore potential started but couldn't expand and following series didn't use. Also looking at the other "god" races besides the Q and how they could of all interacted or what they were like before becoming all powerful.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

LOL I know right? And I have ideas for other starships to do from lesser known species. However the problem with those always is that viewership of those videos are always far lower then the more established species vessel videos... So I tend to do them once in a blue moon!

[@ryank5424]

Definitely prefer the more detailed K'tinga over the D5 (better class name too IMO). Looking fwd to the vor'cha video. Excellent work with this video, your place in Sto'vo'kor is assured. 🖖

this was my first true fav in the first days of STO before all the added ships getting my first K'T'Inga was like i have made it im a true klingon warrior and captain it was an honour to fly one of these great ships in the empires name hell it was the ship i kept for most of the story now the special refit version is one of my favs due to the weapon refits and well its advanced battle cloak

[@homelessveteran334]

So nerdy Lolol… thanks

[@zeph0shade]

While it's only really a headcanon, and I'm sure by now the producers have made sure there's plenty of things that *technically* disprove it, I personally like to think that the K'T'Inga and the D7 class could be one and the same. D-7 is such a human designation for an encountered alien design, it doesn't sound very Klingon at all. I think it makes more sense to assume that what the Federation referred to as the "D7 class battlecruiser" was what the Klingons called the K'T'Inga. With that in mind, it's not necessarily the case that the D7 'evolved' into the separate class called the K'T'Inga, but rather that *to the Klingons* it was the K'T'Inga all along, which was merely upgraded. Kind of like how the Constitution class was "upgraded" between TOS and the movies.

[@shininginshadows]

[@Sephiroth144]

SIR! We have lost all 50 ships we sent against the intruder! What are your orders? Is Captain Barak in the area? Yes sir! Contact his squadron- order him to attack. But, sir, what can his three K'tingas do that the armada failed to do? Nothing- I just fucking hate that guy...

I thought K'T'inga was Klingon for D-7

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Well surprise! It is not :P

[@Leathurkatt]

You also forgot about the Klingon D6 Battle Cruiser, the predecessor of the larger and more powerful D7 Battle Cruiser. The D6 was used up until the introduction of the D7 after the battle of Axanar where Garth of Isar led the defeat of the Klingons and began the Federation's reclaiming of territory lost to Klingon expansion during the Klingon-Federation war. The development and construction of the D7 had been delayed thus was not ready for the Axanar conflict, which led to their defeat.

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

I didnt forget about it, I simply didnt include it as I dont buy the back story... And this video was about the K'T'inga, not the D7, which would have been a direct descendant of the D6... It would be like doing biography on Gene Roddenberry, and instead of just mention the relevant Parent Information, going back and discussing all his ancestors... That's simply not how these types of videos work... The relevant information is all there!

[@Leathurkatt]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Is all good. I figured that since you covered the D7 in one video and the K'T'inga in another, then maybe you might do one on the D6 at some point? Is a thought at least. The Klingons have so few ship types/classes in their fleet, I figure that at least cover as many as there was info on. My personal favorite is the Bird of Prey design, with it's three size classes (Scout, Greater Bird, and Frigate) along side the small predecessor seen in Enterprise (the one I like to call the Falcon class because of its size and maneuverability, would love to see a bit more comprehensive info on that one). It was also great to see the videos on the Vor'cha and Negh'Var as well. Klingons have always been my favorite Star Trek race (with Vulcans as a close second), in fact I have a fan character I created back in 1995 (T'Kara) that I run around at conventions dressed up as, and later created a second one about 5-6 years ago (V'Tira) whose mother was a Klingon Tactical officer and her father was a Vulcan Engineer (long story how THAT happened, LOL). Part of the backstory for both characters is he fact that their mothers are actually full blood sisters, so they are actually related to each other, but they are very different characters individually. ;)

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Id have absolutely no problem doing a video on ANY ship, including the D6... The big problem is that there arent 3d models available for it (or them) in the programs I use... At least not yet, so Im a slave to 3d Modlers :P

[@Leathurkatt]

@@TriAngulumAudioStudios I totally get that difficulty. Hmmm, maybe you can poke Alec from Aries Studios (same people who did Prelude to Axanar) and ask him if they would let you use some of their models/footage of the D6 (since it did feature in some of their stuff)? Just an idea and TOTALLY your choice. He's a pretty cool guy, I've actually talked to him about things a few times. Huge Trek nerd and knows a lot about that time period in particular (Garth of Izar is a favorite of his).

[@TriAngulumAudioStudios]

Sorry but that will never happen... This channel will not be associating with ANYTHING to do with Axanar, given the drama and toxicity that surrounded Peters, and that little bit of fan fiction... Your more then welcome to support him, but given how divided fandom is about him, I wont bring that type of negativity in to this channel... Besides his models would never work in the programs I use, and from what I understand, he doesnt even own them anyhow...

[@maxrander0101]

lol this might be the truth in the lore given but i can assure you that should any fed or romulan fleet come up against my klingon fleet in STO they will be doomed as almost every player has ships with advanced battlecloaking and can fire massive volleys of torpedos while cloaked its funny watching other players in pvp be like wtf where did those 5 ships go

[@gordondavis6168]

The Klingons were a slave race to aliens; the Klingons were used as soldiers. The Klingons revolted against their masters and took over their technology. Since the Klingons did not invent their tech from the ground up, they didn’t totally understand it. Thus, the Klingons were locked into using the ship designs of their past masters for a long time. Thus, the D6/D7 class was used for a long time. Finally, the Klingons truly started to build their own ship designs.
