Klingon ships are probably my favorite vessels in Star Trek, and I honestly hope you find another ship or series of ships to make a video on. I suppose the obvious next choice is the Raptor, which I see as analogous to something like a destroyer or a light/protected cruiser (whereas the Bird-of-Prey is a torpedo boat/corvette/frigate equivalent). The main issue, of course, is that the only Alpha canon Raptors showed up in Enterprise. That said, you could argue the K'Vort might fit into this category too, and there's a number of Beta canon designs from FASA and STO that you could look at too.

Imagine a miniseries covering the stories of the original Kahless. Not the clone.

“You’ll pay for your deceit! The House of Korath will not rest until you drown in your own blood!”

Regarding the warp drive, the Haynes Technical Manual for the Rotarran describes the wings themselves as being the generation point for the warp field, and the wing positions being kept level for warp flight cruising, lowered for combat, and raised for landing. The reason for lowering the wings is to alter the plasma flow to increase the disruptor power in that configuration.

Not to mention when you’re using 80-100% warp core power for warp speeds you’ll want the warp field as far as you can have it from you crewed areas. So the best config would be wings level.

The Bird of Prey is just my favorite ship in Star Trek. The accolades and number of accolades this thing has. To name afew, the BoP has two ships named Enterprise under its belt, pyrrich victories though. Kirk just took the BoP that forced him to blow up his ship, and the Duras BoP did not survive her engagement with 1701-D. Just an outstanding video.

@@venomgeekmedia9886 Also, I'm not sure if you by now, know about the 'warp wings' concept from Sternbach? In the Haynes Bird of Prey Manual. Slightly changes the technical specs, if applied. That the whole wing is a 'nacelle'.

I like to think of the Discovery "Vulture" design's radical departure from conventional Klingon aesthetics as a failed attempt at mass producing a homogeneous Klingon "cloak" in the form of a highly stealth oriented craft (think of how the SR-71 "Blackbird" or Northrop Grumman B-2 Spirit depart from the conventions of military aircraft of their era), one that ultimately came up short against superior Federation sensors and proved more costly to continue producing, as opposed to retrofitting older designs with Romulan cloaking devices. I can see it still jiving with the Romulan sympathiser theory, i.e.: The designer worked to make the ship over-engineered and aesthetically divergent to drive up shipbuilding costs and undermine Klingon martial tradition, and then, when that hiding to nothing ran it's course and the designer was found out, the High Command would be left with no choice but eat from the Romulans' hands and buy their cloaking tech anyway, lest they go on with no new ships at all. Just my 2 cents towards how we might erase one of Discovery's many many afronts to continuity.

In fact it would make the perfect ship for the new picard series which is why i still hope they will use an Romulan BoP. A ship of similar size and Cloaking device. But i like the Klingon one in design over the Romulan.

little bit of B cannon as well as speculation. the way i look at it the BOP is the t-34 or Mig-21 of star trek. in the TNG episode 'Rascals' the ferengi even have some. so i think its fair to say they were exporting them quite a lot.

I thought the three bird of prey tactic included not showing all three ships at once to confuse their targets over the number of attackers.

Efficiency = a kind of apartment functionality = not a word at all The words you are looking for are "efficacy" and "function."

I always wondered with the numbers of ships captured, partially destroyed, or otherwise aquired, with cloaks why the Dominion did not integrate a cloak into their ships.
