Iain, ISC do not have plasma-Ds on their ships (barring escorts). Those are plasma-Fs.
Nomad said:Not many line warships do have the plasma-D (AFAIK only the KRC and the Romulan conversions of the Klingon D5 and C7, which aren't in the game yet). It's mostly for specialised escorts.
I'd suggest it should receive the ability to fire as an Anti-drone in any turn in which it does not launch a torpedo, and lose the 'Reload' trait.

The Klingons are the ones who sold them the hulls.Though it did seem odd that they'd sell the Romulans front-line ships, especially once they started producing the Hawk series (though I suppose their production capacity wasn't up to speed yet). Still, the Klingons need money and the Romulans are willing to pay.

So you mean my Klingons will be selling their uniforms whenever they're invited over to a Fed ship? Or stealing silverware from the Fed's officers' mess?
Nomad said:The Roms probably got the best part of the deal(They took their cloaking devices home with them, to the Klingon's fury).
GalagaGalaxian said:Also I didn't realize the Klingons "requisitioned" some Sparrowhawks, I take it this was the historic last fate of the remnants of the Romulan task force from the SFB historic mini-campaign featuring a group of cut-off Romulan ships in Klingon territory? Unfortunately I can't remember the details, nor can I seem to find it flipping through the SFB books I have, I know I saw it in here a while back...

Well, sort of. The background fluff is that during some confused fighting, three Sparrowhawks got cut off in Klingon space. The Klinks, eager to get their hands on Romulan tech, more or less forced the Roms to accept three D5 hulls in exchange, so you have Rom plasma-armed KD5Rs, and Klingon disruptor-armed RKL Sparrowhawks.
The Roms probably got the best part of the deal(They took their cloaking devices home with them, to the Klingon's fury).
In SFB, the Romulan KC7R heavy battlecruiser is only conjectural, a design study that never actually got built in the 'official' history. It's an absolute monster, one of my favourite ships.
