I'm beginning to get concerned about how more and more "liberties" are being taken regarding the Klingon ships.
IMO, the deckhouse on the D5/D5W is WAY to big and tall.
And what is with all the excessive greebling?
Please, for the love of Khaless, remove those things off the front of the boom/bulb and above the sensor/nav def. They were wrong on the D7 and even more so here.
The extra stuff around the bridge...hell, the whole desing of the bridge is just wrong. Should be similar with the D6/7 series in appearance, with the offset secondary tower or none at all as Turner presents it.
The "stuff" that ended up on top of the D7s deckhouse...I do realize these arent going to be perfect or perfect copies of what was available/canon before...but it is getting ridiculous.
Some times less is more.

I seek and value all opinions, but what's there is what the mass movement of people said they wanted. Did we go too far? Maybe, but we won't know unless a lot of people tell us. We look for consensus and momentum. Nobody wants to buy ships that were discussed for a week and then done the way one person said. So, he's right or he's wrong, let me know.

I'd like to see the engines on the D5 series moved back to a more traditional placement.
I think this would make it look even sleeker despite all the greebling...
Also the bulb needs to be larger...on all the Klingons.
The 2400 series was NOT a good starting point for the Klingons.
