Klingon starting gear

The Klingon starting gear needs to be upgraded. You start out at LV17 and only go to LC19 before doing missions. However, you gear is only Tier 1. Whenever I tried to engage a ground mission, I got slaughtered. no form of strategy could compensate for the lack of firepower. Since I do not have dilithium yet or energy credits I cannot buy basic tier 2 gear to survive for two levels until I get to Commander and then of course need commander gear.

We should be given basic MK IV gear to use for those two levels. The only way I could get around this was to mail a couple of deflector arrays from my Fed test character to my Klingon test character so that I could sell them for enough energy credits to buy basic ground equipment.

    Not to mention the number of starting BoFFs.

    I bought basic white quality Mk III ground gear for me and my three boffs. The difference is amazing. I can now survive an encounter without loosing anyone.

    Some things never change...
    Again the KDF seem like they are just an afterthought.
    It would be nice to be on par with the Federation characters at that level since we are forced to start at that level.

    I noticed the same things.

    Starting gear is to low

    Not enough Boffs

    No starting EC to put them in line with an equivalent Fed character of the same level

    Would also be nice to choose what ship we start with also since we have to train in a specific ship type at that level.

    These comments are probably the reasons I will not start another KDF Captain. The KDF toons are just eye candy and PVP fodder. I started one almost a year agon and am only recently reaching Captain. Thanks more to the Deferi, exploration, and a few other PvE missions. Now they make a change to give KDF a beneift, but handicap them with weak gear and no resources like a newbie Fed LT. I will just be happy with what I got and hope there is more PvE content in future.

    I hope the addition of Romulans will not be similarly screwed up when their added to the game.
