The biggest problem for me is that you don't have any money to change boff abilities before you do anything. Generally you have to do the first mission on normal difficulty and hope you get enough in drops to spec out your boffs
When the KDf was condensed to relieve the grind by making us start later in ranks, they never gave any boost in resources to cover the loss the 20-some odd levels of content we no longer had access to ingame. Thus we start very poor at level 20, while the feds (with a full faction) have the advantage of the resources they acquired on the climb up.
Honestly, if they at least gave us 20,000 EC's to cover boff training, that would be enough. I've never had the need or want for anything more.... other than making my orion's bridge crew all orion as well. Cause sexy pixel women is win. :P

I did the same thing as potasssium. I got equipment that my Feds wasn't using from doing missions or buying. Instead of selling it right off. I sent it to my KDF first to see if it was an upgrade. If not then I sold it. That helped a good bit. Plus I spent a good bit of time farming particles and other stuff for the R&D. My lv 30 KDF is has all kinds of stuff from R&D. Granted I had it on the Fed player, but it was more Fed based stuff. So I wanted a more KDF based stuff.

Wonder if this was a Troll? Didn't see the OP repost after original.
That said, did they get their ship after doing the tutorial? Can get the promotion to commander when you talk to Chancellor. I was about to give up on KDF till I smacked my head on my desk repeatedly when I realized I got a ship at 20 AKA 1st level. Got the cruiser and life has been good ever since. Make sure you get your new ship when you start. You will be a lot happier. There's a raptor and a BOP option too I believe.
as others have said you gotta make sure you do all the qonos missions as u start at lvl 20 with no skill points. also check your power settings tac officer you need full power to weapons, engi officer shields and sci aux. A little off topic but even if you are not interested in pvp play pvp through all the way at least to captain that will teach you the basics of flying a bop enough that pve should be a breeze until stfs. that will also make sure that u have ecs and skill points so that at Captain you should be slightly ahead of the learning and money curve. It will also put all mission rewards for the early episodes at captain lvl which can make things alot easier.

Yeah anything is better than being poor.
Yeah a lot of us do that I think. The ones who don't are green with envy.
If you are playing KDF you already played some fed side. I just mailed myself a few things to sell to get me going on my KDF toons.
