BRAD'S COMMENTS:
In my opinion the Klingon Ship Recognition Manual is far and away the most interesting of the three that
FASA produced for the STSSTCS. The designs themselves are excellent, and the writing very imaginative (although apocryphal
when compared to current trek canon). Many of the ships in this manual look very 'realistic' in that they adhere to the classic
Klingon design philosophy established with the original D7 model ship that appeared in
ST:TOS
. Something that I don't think either
the Federation or the Romulan manuals did very well, especially the Federation manual. So browse and enjoy! Ships are listed
below by their ship class, as defined in the book itself. Click on the link to each ship and a window will appear giving a full graphic
of the vessel, plus history and game stats. Vessel names that are
not linked
are vessels that I have not yet scanned in, but will be
coming in the future.
P.S: I tried to scan each ship at as high a quality as I could, but the original format of the drawings in the manual makes this VERY
difficult. The designers at FASA used an old b/w layout trick where the "gray" color that shades the ships is not gray at all, but
thousands of tiny black dots on a field of white. The net effect viewed from afar by the human eye is that of 'grayness' but the
scanner picks up every last dot and it takes a lot of softening/blurring and reduction via Paintshop to get the ships to look halfway
decent. Even then, the images sometimes don't come out crisp. So if things seem a teeny bit fuzzy around the edges, or if the
graphics don't look exactly as they did on paper, please understand that I did what I could with what I've got.
In some lucky cases I have been able to find large-scale graphics from other sources for canon ships. These graphics
produce superior scans when compared to the Ship Recognition Manuals, and I have necessarily replaced the poor FASA graphics
with crisp, better looking images that have been cropped, resized, and shaded manually.
Cheers!
