Here are the things I would change:
-DujvetlhDung yIbaH (Fire over that ship), I believe that you must use the
suffix *Daq* with *Dung*. *Thus DujvetlhDungDaq yIbaH!*
-nuq DuplIj (What is your strategy?), Since the subject here is *nuq*, it
must follow the verb. *DuplIj nuq)
-Dochvam bIr'a' (Is this cold?): Same problem as above. Should be *bIr'a'
Dochvam*
-Similarly *Dujvetlh Doj* Should be *Doj Dujvetlh*
-Dop nuq bIneH, I believe should be: nuq Dop DaneH.
-With *'Iwvam Doq* the blood is the subject so it should be: Doq 'Iwvam
-*DoSvetlh yIbaH* actually sais *Fire that target*. To say *Fire at that
target* you should say: *DoSvetlhDaq yIbaH!*
-I think the best way to say *You could not lead us if you wanted to!*
would be to say: juDev 'e' DaneHchugh juDevlaHbe'.
-To say *You must pay for this information* you should say *De'vam
DaDIlnIS*, because what is being paid for is the information. Thus you use
the prefix *Da*.
-*DISDaq ghoHIvQo' * works fine for *Don't attack us in the cave.* but to
say *in our cave you should say *DISmajDaq ghoHIvQo' "
-Since *You will confess* is a statement of what the speaker apparently
believes to be fact, you would probably not say *yIDISbej* because the *yI*
prefix is imperative. The correct way, I believe, would be: *bIDISbej*.
-*DIvI' DIHIv* Does not work for *We attack the Federation.*, because the
word *Federation* is actually singular. It is one federation that is being
attacked. Thus you should say: *DIvI wIHIv*
You had some great sentences here. I especially enjoyed "I will pay you
not to stab me!"
