Any C-Store Klingon Items Coming Soon?

Just looking through the calendar, I noticed there hasn't been any Klingon items added since December (if I have that right). In the meantime, the Federation has had a few ships, a new ship interior, costumes, etc. released in that same time period.
Has there been any discussion of adding any new Klingon items to the C-store any time soon?
I'd prefer to get new options free, but new costumes and ships seem to be the province of the C-store as of late.
I'd like to see ships that have a transferable console like the Prometheus or Oberth.

On the other hand that may be the only way really new stuff might show up.
On the one hand it can be used to expand upon the KDF in term of costumes and bridges for example.
On the other hand when there are less costumes and bridges to begin with, it can also be seen as a way
to make people pay to get up to a similar level of options the other faction gets for free.
The Tor'kath is the only way to change the hull features of the Vor'cha.
Also for example I had to buy the Raptor bridge pack to get a brigde that has lighting that remotely resembles the one we saw on the Birds of Prey in DS9 instead of reminding me of a darkroom.

**************
On the other end of the spectrum, there is usually more than one colour and lighting variation for every bridge on the Federation side.
And as I recall the only ships that lack hull costumizations are a handful of C-Store ships.
After that I expect the Empire to go back on ignore status, punctuated with occasional cries of, "But we only have a small team!", while they continue to crank out more Federation exclusive uniforms, ships and hairstyles.
Frankly through I'm fine with character costumes and ships turning up on the C-store, most ships will end up with a grind method to get them in-game anyway. Ship skins on the other hand I'd much rather some free options before they start throwing them in the C-store, course that didn't stop me bying the vor'cha skin now did it...
Yes months after the federation got Craftable Delta flyer. Another huge imbalance. The federation has
Type 8 Shuttle
Delta Flyer
Vulcan Aux Ship
TOS Shuttle
Runabout
Captain Yachet.
Klingon got grand total of 2. One a 400 day vet reward. So a 3 for every one we get. And of course federation also getting a fighter. So it not like that even anything up. It seems to be that the klingon side is an after thought. Has been and I do not see it changing. I wager when season 4 is release we see that klingon got ever little new stuff. It mainly be thing that where desgin for starfleet with klingon reskin. Or redesign fed missions for klingon. But nothing new and no real grounds toward making them equal factions.
When you got 1/3 of everything or more accross the board and all you see is more federation stuff. It sends a very clear message.
The only question is will other faction get this type treatment or will be reserver for klingons.
I will gladly pay extra to see these in-game...I dunno about some other KDF players, but that is my opinion....
WE ARE KLINGONS, where is my pimp coat!!1!!
I be happy if we got anything. But we seem to be an after thought. Since launch.
The reason for being an afterthought (now at any rate) is likely our low population, that fact that the low population was spawned by the complete lack of content just means the money is in the federation player base and of course Cryptic are going to follow the money and only throw us a bone occasionally.
The worst thing we can do is spurn the small offerings were are given because we're not likely to see any more if we do.
I would not call what gotten small. I call it none existent. There nothing to be grateful for. The klingon would be better server if they close down the faction instead of the lousy treatment to date.
To date have dishonored the klingon.
There a low polulation becase we are after thought. You must create a federation to play klingon. Then when you try klingon you see there nothing there. So why waste time.
Beside it not like they can give us much less as it is. Look at the shuttle Those are recent additons.
Fderation side has 6 shuttles. Five were add recently since or because of vault mission or 400 day reward.
Klingons got 2. told items added 7. We got 2/7 of total addtions. and 2/8 of the total in game shuttles.
That not even 1/3.
Ok know move on to new ships add recently. We got Zero. Federation has gotten 2 in last two to 3 months.
so add those two together 2/10 of all ship/shuttles add recently where klingons while 8/10 was federation.
Want to look at unfiorms. Klingon got NULL, ZIP, ZERO. Let see TOS unfiroms, Borjan uniforms.
so let see 2/12 of items i list were klingons. while 10/12 was federation
We must give them a reason to give us more good stuff....I suggest we involve larger media outlets (STOK'ed, Priority One, Red Shirt Army, etc) to broadcast what we want to see...usually when they get people to see what needs to be done, it is placed at the mid to top of the to do list... not on the back burner....
no, we go to the thrift shop....
One of the best spokesmen with an interview or two, Peregrine_Falcon, was banned.
?!? when was that one?!? If that is the case in jest or in truth, then I think perhaps we ought not to place our ideas in the hands of others...but then again, how else do we get the devs to listen to our ideas, take them seriously, and act in appropriate time?
I think the previous military policy of don't ask, don't tell is handy when asking about such things...lol.
I would hope that an independent group could be able to get them to firm up some things on the claendar for some KDF C-Store promotions or purchases....Imagine the profit in having your largest minority of players taken care of....wow...did I just sound like a Ferengi? :eek:

Unfortunately it has been said and I don't recall they ever said they were kidding.
Also they talk about how the KDF and any other non-Federation faction should be implemented in this vid so I think it wasn't a joke.
That is .......interesting...... I think...thanks for sharing that information.
I'm sorry if I "damaged" your idea but I thought you'd like to know everything there is to know...darn sometimes I hate having such a good memory.:(
Sorry needed glass of water. Throat was parched
Woah. I liked the two Regular guys (normally) but the the third guy that utters the "TRIBBLE" remark at the 12:48 to 12:49 mark is a real piece of work (haha made you look)
Glad he's not around anymore.
YEE aah hhh this does nothing to help the fedfans image
"The tough questions" have no answers. If you pay attention to the game and follow the Dev responses on the forums, the biggest issues that players with KDF gameplay simply have no answers that will satisfy them, for the time being. And getting told the same line about what new feature is coming to KDF players with the next big patch will never satisfy their need for additional content, customization, or balancing.
It's not a matter of trying to help Cryptic save face on this topic, it's simply a matter of wanting to put on a good, enjoyable show. Nobody wants to listen to non-answers, so we don't ask those questions.
It still astounds me how folks can jump to the conclusion that podcasts like ours are paid mouthpieces for Cryptic, when all we're trying to do is provide an entertaining and informative service for a game that we care about and want to see succeed. And, frankly, it's insulting on a personal level. So, thanks for that.
If you think you can serve the KDF community better, I encourage you to launch your own podcast. Let's see how anxious Cryptic devs are to appear on your show, and how much people enjoy listening to it, when the show consists of a bunch of unanswered questions, endlessly beaten dead horses, and spirals of discontent.
The KDF are not being given a fair shake. I know it, you know it, the Devs know it. But fixing it all is simply not in the cards for the immediate future.
The only part I don't get is how you find it astounding that it keeps happening, since this obviously isn't the first time its happened. No insult inteneded.
Let me finally point out this: Everyone knowing that Klingons are not getting this fair share is NOT the same thing as remove the Klingons and deveolp the Romulans.
And on a personal note, please keep up the good work on your broadcast. I enjoy watching your show, for the most part.
