Broken record man here once more to remind you all that we really are laying down some serious plans for a great deal more KDF content to be released post F2P.
Hard to believe? Yes...
But stick around. I've got it on incredibly good authority that giving some much needed love to the KDF will be being served up.
I know you've all heard this before, but one of the things PWE really beleives in is a strong KDF. They realize that in order to make that happen, they're going to need to invest some serious resources into your faction in order to bring you up to par with the Feds.
The day is coming when you'll be able to level a new KDF toon, starting at level one, with KDF Content.
I understand where you're coming from, and as a Klingon Player myself, I'm just as frustrated as you are. However, sadly, I can't give any more details at this time, except to assure you that yes, Klingon Content is coming.
It's hard to believe, but it really is true. If I hadn't been assured of this by so many people of higher pay grades than my own, at both PWE and Cryptic, that this is the case, I honestly would not be here saying it again. KDF content is almost the "third rail" of STO. If I wasn't confident it was actually coming down the pipes, I wouldn't be touching it AT ALL. My rep in this community is taking enough of a beating without needing to touch that rail.
Thanks,

For what ever it is worth I personally play Federation .. exclusively. IMHO some of the things in place for the Federation "to do list" that really should be placed on hold. Those who are playing in thye Klingon faction have been far more than paitent than any other MMO group I know of.
I respectfully request that as much as possible the KDF be given priority. I think it goes without saying that some of the Dev team really WOULD like to make this happen. Someone is arranging the "things to do list". (Note: please remember the old story about "crying wolf" too often).
This is not meant to be a rant, nor another aimless post of just another faceless player, but rather a request from one businessman to another. It really is a SOUND business decision to invest more time and other resources into the KDF. We can no longer debate over HOW we got to this point in STO with this faction in such disrepair and for all practical intent and purpose is disfunctional. What IS VERY MUCH needed is resolution to the matter at hand.
I believe you in that there are plans on the board. IMHO those need to be a matter of reality.
Thank you

12/20/11, my response to the mistreatment of the Kdf faction, it seems another company that I will not name here knows how to properly support both factions...AT LAUNCH:rolleyes:

Well... that logic does make sense. I can see where you're coming from, and I can grok the third rail analogy
The Academy looks nice.
So, what in Gre'thor are we supposed to do at the Klingon academy anyway?
I have no idea.
I figured they built it in preparation for the release of the SF Academy zone in hopes that we would not whine that, " We don't have an academy" or some such.
Its nice, just needs a purpose other than social zone.
Though I would've loved a cool-looking longcoat.

We suppose to get a tutorial that was based here. But the scrap the tutorial or at very least in monthball. Probably sitting next to Full PVE KDF
Back before season 4 launch we told they where going to redo current one place it at starfleet academy and add klingon academy and give them one. Then that got self.
But I guess the art was either done or in progress and not selfed.
Maybe they add when KDF faction is full faction or as the least part.

I've been waiting in line so long for KDF parity and content, my feet virtually hurt.

Ah,my friend....remember the good old days? You gave me a disruptor,I gave you my Bat'leth and we raided Cryptic,going to Stahl's office,demanding new content.....sending our Targs after that wretched puppy....feels good to be Klingon.

Let's ignore any future content for a moment here - what happened to all of the past assurances and promises that there was great and exciting KDF content coming "soon"? We're approaching 2 years of STO with very little to show for it as far as the KDF and PvP are concerned.

We can't hold anything against them or hold them to past quotes, however.
Which makes anything and everything they say meaningless.
Bingo. On another note, STOked removed the following quote from Episode 102's show notes:
StormShade has now officially put the community on notice that:
1) We cannot hold them to anything they say.
2) If anyone attempts to quote a dev post theyll likely to get banned under a strange twist of the forum rules. http://forums.startrekonline.com/showthread.php?p=3840891

Also, we have become jaded. We do not believe because we are told to anymore. We need to see.
This does not mean we will stop being Klingons. Only that we will be sour and mistrustful.
Sadly, that Short Term Roadmap Devblog only seem to give fundation to our reservations.
No Klingon specific mission content for another three months at the very least. (unless they are pleasant surprises)
But what is three or six more months compared to all the months that has passed before?
*sighs and goes back to sharpening and oiling the rust from his bat'leth*
No surprise to me. Cryptic has given up on the KDF long time ago.
I won't trust any word for "KDF revival" until I see very hard evidence point.
Good lord I was already down to begging Cryptic to listen to us and give us at least something new to do, but that Dev blog changed my mind radicaly.
Yeap ... We are stubborn Klingons, and you hit the nail on the head.
Bring IT! bring IT! We will test it!

man, this line moves slow.

Call upon the Orion females aboard your ship for a foot massage.
It will make the time pass easier.

Orion foot massages always lead to sex. Always.
Now they call incessantly and I'm forced to say, " Bitter Baby, I am not from Havana."
