the pl giveaway is just the latest in things exclusive to the kdf faction that has been rendered otherwise. the cost/benefit of playing a kdf toon has been greatly skewed and thus will result in a greater disparity among kdf vs fed populations. LOR had the opportunity to remedy this by coaxing newly formed romulans to join the kdf ranks, but they instead decide to go for the money grab by funneling even more players into the already swelled fed ranks.
there simply is absolutely no reason to consider the kdf a separate faction. everything and anything that was unique to that faction is or will become available to the feds at some point.
it's impossible to lure potential allies when we as a faction have nothing left to offer. Klingons themselves as a species with their awesome ground trait is available for sale for 600z. all the consoles that would have enticed others to join are available for sale via the lockboxes. battle cloaking is now available to the feds via their romulan allies. carriers and pets have been long deserted as a kdf only feature. our orion women are available to you through your diplomacy doff TRIBBLE.
the opportunity cost of playing a kdf toon is staggering as well. boffs that you will need to remain competitive cost anywhere from 2x to 10x and are seldom seen or available on the exchange. our raptors and bops are no match for your escorts and rommy warbirds. your fed starbases and fleets are more established and have higher tiers available to them due in large part to the population disparity. we have a lot less pve content and our queue times are longer. marauding for contraband to convert to dil ore is no longer needed because of your dil mining claims. the amount and quality of cstore ships greatly outweighs ours. the amount of premium costume options and stuff packs favors you as well.
so why play Klingons? aside from the new missions, which are a one-off experience, why would anyone in their right mind play a faction that has so little going for it? with so little going for it and so much against it, it's even worse than the TRIBBLE ginger stepchild no one ever wanted.
the kdf will never reach the parity that I and so many other Klingons would like. not in terms of content, ships or anything. we will always receive complementary scraps by the development team and that is all we should aspire towards. it is blatantly clear that there is no real need for a second or third faction as all end game content is the same. there are no opposing interests here that would require anything more than one faction.
so in the end, with all this presented before you... I ask you, why would anyone want to roll a kdf toon? oh, and don't worry. i'm pretty sure fed carrier frigates are coming to a lockbox or c-store unlock near you.

This.
Seriously these "why would anyone roll X" questions are ridiculous. Because they like it, that's why.

Being the underdog doesn't mean coming second....
Or did you really want the lack of KDF content to be a 'unique Klingon thing'?
its what he wants most out of LOR oddly.
So if anyone Sees a Gorn about named "Slassh" probably flying a clapped out B'rel please be nice to him.
p.s. May I suggest going out into the REAL WORLD and enticing real people to finally realize that they actually love and adore the Klingon race?

Let people live and do what they want.
I'm coming back to the game, but I left because of the KDF did not have hardly any quests or story when I played. I did not care about any thing else. I wanted to feel like being one.

I listen to that while playing one. It did not give what I wanted. So i quit the game. I'm just now coming back that they added all the story to KDF.
I said I would and here I am. It took them long enough
...so I'm told by cosmic1.

Better Story missions.
Contraband is still cool....
STFs are still the same.
...
If, however, the OP's attitude is representative of the attitude of KDF players in general, I'll probably refrain from doing so now that the content problem is taken care of.
Believe it or not a decent chunk of KDF is pretty cool people. The problem is, the KDF is so used to being slighted and ignored that some of them will jump on any opportunity to vent, even if it's a dumb reason.

Naaa, social media is a waste of my time. I can be lied to just as effectively here on the forum.

One word will answer this question:
Why would anyone roll a KDF toon?
Answer: GORN
Nuff said. You can have your pansy Vulcans, your phasers, your cloaking devices, and even pointy ear freaks called Romulans... but a good Gorn on your side... you might as well just call it quits, you are going to be winning the day soon enough!
Also, I can't stand when people say "toon" instead of "character" or "avatar". Almost as irritating as when kids referred to "boards" instead of "maps" in shooters.
Your point would be valid if the console the feds got in exchange was of equal potential/power which it obviously isn't. And even if the vast majority of players don't pvp, that's all the more reason to keep the leech console a KDF only item so people are drawn towards playing KDF, even if it's only for PVE.
Edit: On a random tangential side note, I, too, hate it when people say "toons" instead of characters. This isn't cartoon network people; it's star-trek!!!
Still true statements, still silly and wrong for the same reasons.
Because sometimes, you just don't give a care for 'diplomacy', you just want to blow stuff up and a Klingon never needs an excuse to shoot stuff or blow it up.
(Captain Klaa from "Final Frontier" took shots at old human space probes just to pass the time, for example.)
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
at least in this game
because if there weren't Romulans, KDF is much cooler, have much better playerbase, and they ships are better. also, WE HAVE BLOODWINE!

Your point would be valid if anyone but a very small group of KDF players cared. I am inclined to play Klingon because I'd enjoy a different play style and an opportunity to fly some cool-looking ships. I don't care about PvP much and now I have a lot of stuff to do as a Klingon. That's rad. That's gonna draw people in. The console is a non-issue for the vast majority of the player base.
I simply cannot grasp this petulant, petty, artificial tribalism. This bad attitude is far more of a turn-off to playing Klingon than any number of consoles.
I'll be sure to brofist (gornfist?) him if I see him.
The KDF have already gotten access to the best Fed consoles in previous Lockboxes. We don't have that much left to give. Do you want the Grappler off my NX instead?
