Well thanks to a great many of you we have threads to give the Dev's ideas for Ships, Costumes, Missions and so on. I'd like to start one with sector blocks.
Were there to be more Klingon sector blocks (like the Federation has) what would you like them to be like? If the KDF gets more missions, got to happen sooner or later right? We'll need at least one or two new sector blocks for all the missions.
I'd like to start off. I'd think one of the sector blocks would have to have a main KDF hub, I'd like it to be Ty'Gokor as seen in the DS9 episode where the crew go undercover as Klingons to expose a Founder who they beleive to be Gowron but is actually Martok. It's said to be the operation headquarters of the Klingon Defence Force so it would make an excellent main hub, like Starbase Serria is for the Federation in Alpha Centauri. I'd also like to see enemy contacts that are Fek'lhri and maybe some fleet actions.
The other sector block would be great for a Hur'Q invasion. Perhaps a disputed sector block, like Pi Canis is with the Federation. It could include Fleet Actions in this sector block where players can team up to fight the Hur'Q outside the missions, have enemy contacts that are Hur'Q and so on. Perhaps even a STF system like in Borg space. A Hur'Q STF where Federation players can join Klingon players defending the Empire. Not every in-keeping with the war, but we all must admit the Borg are rather overused and boring and some fresh blood would be nice.
I'm sure you all have much better ideas than me and I'd love to hear them.

I'd like to see the homeworlds of the Klingon minors (not sure if they're already there - like I say, not so hot on Klingon knowledge), similar to P'Jem, Vulcan, etc in Federation space - these places existing and new also need more stuff to do on them (Race specific missions? Role play 'props' - I'm not one, but there are a lot out there). The klingons also need a Romulan/Klingon disputed area - they have, after all, been at eachothers throats for a long long time. I like what they did with qo'nos. It was frankly a bit rubbish before (no offence...) and it feels much more Klingon now.
The Federation setup is good. It works, although the in-game proportions seem right, it can get a little 'cluastrophobic' sometimes, any canon galactic map I've seen has Federation space as being huge. I'd like to see a parralel setup for the Klingons too, and then Romulans, Cardassians, and more? There's lot's of empty space on the Galaxy map image and I'm sure adding sectors cannot possibly be all that complicated...

All cloaks should be canon.

There is one more block "west" of the current Fed map, containing Betazed.
I included territories for the Feds, the KDF and the RSE to fight over assuming we ever get some kind of territory control system.
Each faction has its own "base" (which can't be aken away from them) while the other sectors marked "contest" need to be conquered.
I like that map. Obviously Gorn space is now part of Klingon space right?
Thanks.
I used this one
http://www.geekstir.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/trekmap2.jpg
which was mentioned by...I think it was Heretic...on the forums as their source for the current sector map.
Obviously rotated counterclockwise a bit.
He mentioned the Gorn were "south" of the Klingons.
Yes and no.
"Despite demands by hardliners in the Klingon High Council, J'mpok chooses not to have the royal family executed. Rather, he offers them self-rule as long as they swear loyalty to the Empire. Slathis agrees and is given a non-voting seat in the High Council. The Klingon Fifth Fleet is withdrawn from Gorn space. "
The Gorn are allowed to govern themselves and for the most part their fleet seems to operate on its own.
Otherwise we'de see more mixed fleets in DSEs and Fleet Actions.;)

What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
Or the Devs can finally expand upon the KDFs conquering of bits and pieces of the RSE to make for a series of interesting an Fed/KDF war related missions.
R.I.P
I think you're using the history from Starfleet Command as a basis for that.
At least it souds that way from your comment about Gorn with Plasma Torpedoes and Tholians between the Federation and Klingons.
However SFC is basically Star Fleet Battles for the PC.
SFB is however set in a slightly different universe (called the "Star Fleet universe") and thus has no bearing on canon Trek and the soft-canon continuation of the storyline in STO.
The most recent iteration of the Star Fleet Universe map looks like this:

Or liberate ancient Klingon claims annexed through bloodshed by those treacherous Romulan p'tahks.

Actually board game if I'm honest, but yeah I suppose. Could create a transwarp gate network and just send KDF to conquer Delta Quadrant already. (I think this was meant to be a major part of storyline to STO but sort of faded out? Transwarp gates I mean not KDF rampage through it although would be nice)
What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
Yeah lets see how the Kazon fair against our forces.
That is not the Star Trek Galaxy.
That kind of map might have passed back in the '70s, when the only canon available was TOS, but after TNG, DS9, Voyager, and Enterprise ... no.
Errmmm...you know I said that it's not the Star Trek universe....right...?
BTW, the Star Fleet Universe IS from the 70's.
And it explicitly states that it's not Star Trek in its own material.
Ah, I hope you're not ofended by my SFC statement.
It just seems tht these days there are many more people who now SFC than the good'ol SFB.
Good question.
I don't know whether it was actually planned at any point.
Anyway Cryptic would have a lot of story explaining to do if they ever did that.
SEVEN: I believe they're attempting to establish a military presence in the Delta quadrant.
CHAKOTAY: That's quite a theory. Perhaps you haven't heard of the Jankata Accord.
SEVEN: No species shall enter another quadrant for the purpose of territorial expansion.
-"The Voyager Conspirarcy"
There'a also still a lot of space in the Beta Quadrant to conquer.:D
The Accord went out of the window when the Undine took control of the Federation. :P
Here's some old concept art of a transwarp terminal. Granted it was of a much older build of the game but it'd have been sweet if it stayed in.
