Ah, yes. I've been playing Klingon Academy lately, and have tried out the Yamato class (and its companion FBB, the Missouri class) in the simulator mode.

Mooooooooooo.

I'm quite fond of KA's Klingon and Romulan ships, though; they're nifty extrapolations of what Klingon and Rom warships heavier than the D-7 might have looked like back in the good old days, when starships weren't lame-looking. (They certainly beat that horrific green monstrosity the Romulans always get stuck with in TNG... )


For that matter, although they handle lousily, the Fed battleships fit nicely into the visual spectrum of Starfleet in that era, too, and some of the smaller extrapolated Fed ships (like the Okinawa-class frigate) I'm quite fond of. (I especially like the fact that they included a TOS version of the Akula-class destroyer. It was a nice touch that they must have included just because they thought it would be fun. :)
