Of Nimbus III
Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
She's magnificent, I hope we get to meet her. B'irja seems pretty cool too, she's got that acid tongue all the best Klingon ladies have. Rodek chose well and got lucky.
Now...on to Martok.
My character Tsin'xing
Martok was reluctant to become Chancellor to begin with. He's more likely to accept J'mpok as the Chancellor and encourage others to do the same to preserve the Empire rather than plunge it into a possible civil war. Martok will put the good of the Empire first. That is, if Martok doesn't die during the course of the upcoming episode.

Martok only took the Chancellorship because Worf refused to do so after killing Gowron.

I believe J'mpok knows exactly what has happened. Especially with the bold parts. Why would J'mpok need to lie about things and try to kill an apparent witness if he had done nothing wrong? This reeks of J'mpok not having a small part in this whole affair, but rather a very large part.
If J'mpok really is in league with Torg, then I now have to wonder if Torg's whole Discommendation in the early Klingon levels is part of a long game being played by Torg.
Or maybe it's J'mpok coming to realize that what Torg is doing is taking things too far and is trying to distance himself from Torg. And if he isn't in league with Torg, it makes him look like a complete fool and someone unworthy of leading the Klingon Empire.
Either way, I now think more strongly than ever that a new Klingon Civil War is on the horizon.
It'll be interesting to see where this story takes us, especially since we haven't even finished up with the Tzenkethi. I see the Tzenkethi story taking at least 3-4 more missions to play out, but there is no news on when they are coming. Apparently not with Season 13.5.

Neither. The Devs read Adet'pa's cook book, where else do you think they came up with the idea to grind BOff's into training manuals?

Or, Rodek is reading more into things that was actually thought. It's still possible that J'mpok new nothing. Or it's possible that J'mpok had rumors but no proof. AT the time, House Torg was powerful and had many friends. Moving without absolute proof would have caused civil war at best. I think that J'mpok had the smartest, and most strategic, move he could do at the time with what he actually knew.
And I do agree that Martok would leave the chancellorship with J'mpok once he returns. It was forced upon him, and he now has an honorable way out.

Don't let them promote you. Don't let them transfer you. Don't let them do anything that takes you off the bridge of that ship, because while you're there... you can make a difference.

(We're not going to get any more content that's only for a portion for the playerbase, though. Particularly for - sorry, but I gotta say it, as someone with three KDF alts myself - a small portion.)
Other than creating a new faction (please, please, please) I don't see Cryptic spending the time and money to create new content for a single, existing faction. Granted AoY was new Fed content only, but it was at least a (semi) new faction.
Having many KDF and Rom toons, I would absolutely love to see new KDF and Rom content, but even more, I want to see STO still here when I'm finally able to retire in ten years or so and have time to really play a lot, and basically wasting resources to create new content for just a portion of the player base instead of creating new content for all isn't likely to help keep the game going.
Possibly a blog writer error, Rodek remembering Kurn's life and extrapolating, or implanted memories...

Or he just joined/re-joined the academy late in life. There are a lot of possible answers, but a character whose sole notable attribute is persistent amnesia talking about his past brings up questions. Also, he has a new wife, which isn't a plot hole, it just makes me a little sad for the old one.
honestly I can't see any new faction exclusive content coming about, seperate responces or story branches within new cross-faction missions that I can see but I seriously dout there will be any faction exclusive content outside of the foundry be it for SF, KDF or RRN
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
I just love that line Adet'pa says to them while eating the stew: “Good. Then let us finish this stew and leave this place. Nimbus III may lose its witch, but the House of Torg shall gain one, and she has many a cold, vengeful dish to serve them.”
Very expressive writing there. Well done to Mr. Paul Reed.
I also agree with badmoonrizin and others that Martok didn't want the job, hated politics, and would support Jm'pok. Something like, "He defeated me in single combat, then as rightful Chancellor has led you well and honorably through dark times."
I'd also hope that the Klingon Honor concept as portrayed in the various shows plays a role in the outcome. It seems to matter to one warrior.
Between the beginning of this story and its inevitable conclusion is an opportunity to build a season of content on the Klingon story no matter which faction you play. I wrote a Civil War post based on the Alliance point of view, but a more Klingon centered story such as a Recruiting Event would be fun too. Make that the new in game Klingon tutorial, including lessons on how to fight a BoP and enemies which cloak.
Then do a Cardassian Recruit event. And a Tellarite, a Ferengi, Andorian, Orion...
well it was done off the clockthat probably hurt it in some areas, and I'ld actually prefer they didn't touch them. I don't trust them not to mess it up some how.
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
