Which faction would you play if they both had EQUAL content?

If you have played the KDF faction you are probably aware they do not have nearly as much storyline content as the Feds. Some say this is the reason they have fewer players, while others say that it is simply the nature of the IP the game is based on. This raises the question:
Which faction would you play if they both had EQUAL content?

Would be interesting to see the results, but of course it would have to be a survey done of potential STO players in order to prevent bias that may have occurred as a result of them already playing the game.
There's something wrong when a toon reaches max level in 2 weeks and still has a recruit crew.
:eek:
I play both now, because at L50 all endgame content is effectively equal.
And once you take the 3 or 4 hours to L20 on fedside, you are perma-unlocked KDF side.
If you discount the "Aliens" I have that are actually other factions not represented at the moment (Romulan, Jem'hadar etc), I have 9 Feds, to 3 KDF. Though one could call this the nature of Star Trek. Since the Federation has 150 members, many routinely shown in series/movies there is a lot of variety there.
Still, I love my Gorn, Orion and Klingon Toons just as much as my Human/Vulcan/Bajoran/etc. and play them all.
I would also Play a Romulan/Cardassian/Dominion faction if Cryptic ever decided it was worth doing.
with the game's structure being what it is, I didn't even intend to do any KDF at all since I had to level up just to unlock the KDF. I would have gone KDF if I had the option, in all likelihood, but I didn't have the choice at first.
if I could have started as KDF from the beginning, I would have never bought any Starfleet stuff. big red flag for cryptic there.
the lack of kdf cstore options is the biggest issue with KDF at level 1. there is a self fulfilling prophecy with the underdevelopment of the KDF faction, and there is every reason to keep the status quo at best.
Although i dont play klings . . i would still like to see more stuff for you guys if its as sparse as everyone talks about on the forums, as i think its important for all factions to enjoy the game and not feel as though theyre being over looked.
Heck id like to see more factions . .Rommies, Cardies, Jems e.t.c . . there is just such a rich pool to drink from in the world of trek, seems a shame there are only two races to choose from (Although you can create your own)
works what doesnt then started my first klink ( you could actually start at lvl 6 fed then ) and after
grinding to get him to max I deleted my fed toon and have never been back.........:cool:
Then my interest started dying due to the rush fading and realizing how unsupported KDF is, stopped playing for a few months, then finally a week ago decided to just stop playing KDF and focus on Fed, since that's all Cryptic is going to support.
If KDF got full support, I'd go back to playing KDF. Not that that's ever going to happen.
From the first day I heard of the game in 2008, it's what I wanted.
I was one of the suckers who believed what was said...
August 10th, 2008 - At Gen Con Jack Emmert said: "Starfleet and Klingon. Yeah. So two factions, full PvE content."
Finding out later I was FORCED to begin play as Fed was very dishearting.
If there was no Federation play at all it wouldn't bother me.
I have 5 KDF and 2 Fed. For over a year, I had zero Feds.
As it currently stands, I currently have two fed and two KDF characters.
Some food for thought for cryptic: If they had other factions, they could easily bank on at least selling a ton of character slots.
Truth told I would rather play both equally. I would rather not feel a twinge of guilt whenever I log into a Fed toon for any length of time. I would rather not see my own play and purchase habits listed as a reason to hold back and or hinder the development of faction that was supposed to be on equal terms from launch, a faction that if it was on equal terms should increase revenue for the game overall, a faction that with a healthy population would increase the experience for all players, a faction that if it was to some degree done would make room for another palyer faction that would add even more to the play experience. In the end all I have is my conviction to keep me warm.
I voted that I would play both if they were on equal terms, because that is the truth.
It's strange. I do prefer the FED side lorewise, the klingons don't interest me much more than than FED other than a warrior race who use 'Honour' as a placeholder for 'whatever I wanna do, I can do it as long as i say its honourable', but... I like imagining my Lethean Character just cruising along the galaxy, not really caring too much for anything but still erring on the side of what is right. More of an anti-hero, something you can't do with FEDS since it'sgot more of a beaureaucratic feel to it that doesn't mix well with exploring the unknown and to get a ship on that side in the first place you have to be that by default.
Basically, I like the idea of my KDF crew just cruising around doing odd jobs for cash and experience.
well unlike you , some of us arent klingons in real life
i play both factions fairly equally now, so nothing would change for me no matter what they add.
I have a fed toon but i just don't like the faction that much.
The leveling process is pretty fast now, I helped out my friend on his new kdf during a mirror event and he leveled up to almost max just from an hours worth. So it's not about earlier missions to level up with.
I do believe the KDF need more content but not content that goes backwards, what I believe in is content like FEs but with actual real effort in offering two viewpoints on the mission and not simply copy pasting the FED text to the KDF. I mean really my KDF boff should be unconcerned by ethical dilemmas and other FED thinking.
@tinman56 The FEDs should have an option to align with Section 31, I like the anti-hero feel of the KDF as well and would love to have that mood for the FEDs as well. I refuse to play my FED like a boyscout.
EDIT I almost forgot to include my vote on the poll...I would play both equally (More KDF at first because of new content, but then both equaly)
