KDF players, help me compile a list of KDF issues so I can just point new KDF here rather than having to repeat this all the time. I'll subscribe to this thread and add anything I'm missing or forgotten and remove any that are resolved. Check "Last edited" on this post to see when last updated

Missions:

- "Keep Your Enemies Closer" reward not scaling up on replay

- Jem'hadar pets lacking advanced and elite purchasing options

- unplayable due to lack of interest (recommend making cross faction and enemy Tal Shiar)
- Defera Invasion Zone crafting contact beams out and is not replaced for extended periods of time.
- Defera Invasion Zone teaming extremely difficult for KDF, needs to be cross-faction like STFs
PvP:
- Unable to tell faction versus faction queues have needed number of players

(recommend adding mixed faction queue)
- KDF and FED have lost their distinction with console sharing. (Recommend stop sharing consoles and give faction specific kits, i.e. Targ Handler kit)
Comments
Holding off on additional add to your master list till after the current patch on tribble goes live.
My Human slave looks like a lunch lady. I need to customize her! (temporary fix is giving her my old MK XII KHG armour and enabling visuals but we still need customization)
But a lot of those other issues need fixing too!
Just letting you know that these should be fixed after the patch today.
Ferasan tail-cape cropping issues, females of any KDF species not being able to change the 4th colour slot on armor being two of them...
Embassy:
- Purple Duty Officers there are 3 alright: 2 Security Officers named (Thue) and a Transporter Officer (Verelan), the Research Lab Scientist (Dhael as per wiki) is missing
- When checking the console where you buy the extra Duty Officer assignments and you have none since you bought them all, the console bugs out so you cant buy anything from it anymore. Yes its a fix if you select on another console other category, but still... it's a trap
- The exchange has two interact buttons, 'Exchange' and 'Exchange not available' (think it's the same on Starbase at ship customization dialog, says, 'not available' bla bla... then opens up the customization interface)
It was a list I was working on
*should. When mself or others can verify that the current holodeck build has issue addressed, I will change it.
Was on my original list
added doff and assignment issue, other was already on list (gave it more detail)
I would love it if we could use foundry made maps for private matches,
but this list is made just to consolidate the issues affecting KDF as we tend to be neglected.
also, the drinks/toasts on starbase have dexcription, if you talk to the guy next to the bowl, he tels you what they do. keep your eyes open, dmg buff, resistance buff, regen buff.
CUUCUUMBEER! "-With slight partigen with it."
Proud member or DPS-800 "-We kill dem mines with our scitter turrets."
And we still need a 5 tac console raptor.
added
Since Feds can get that weapon too, I'll leave it as a general bug
I'll throw that up since its associated with T-4 boff
removed from list
I am seeing this option available on my alien kdf, was unlocked before Reputation. Can anyone else verify its still an issue (assuming you have the paid the costume unlocks and the the ground elite optionals)
I did however have an issue with Instalation 18 on my KDF Tactical Alien where when talking to Rina Khev it wouldn't regester and allow me to procede so I dropped the mission. Will try it again at a later date. Funny thing is my Orion Engineer last week did it without an issue.
The Lobi store costume has errors and like most KDF uniforms a very limiting palette for many parts like the gauntlets.
Costume/uniform issues.
Belts and the KDF female Bare top..armored or cutout has many issues where belts clip into the piece. oh.. and the belts ride to high in most cases. They don't even look properly decrative..
Orion. Bares legs and NO Boot's? NPC's get to wear boots.. why cant our orion females wear boots? (old old old complaint)
Baldric's..
No customization options for the baldric? Thats where KDF should be wearing thier fleet patch/insignia, and they should definatly be different from fed style... KDF does not do "Logo's" also, habitually have to watch bust size on avatars or a breast will clip through a balric..especially when using the bare top option for female toons. Not all baldric clip.
Fleet badge is set to high on a number of the tunic options both KDF and Romulan where the badge is obscured by pauldrons (vet fur especially for KDF, and Vice admiral double fabric drape on the Romulan pauldrons obscures the fleet patch.
Seems to be a bug at the ships tailor right now. Haven't been able to adjust decorative bits on the ships since before the last patch. I change them and everything become shades of grey. Not all ships. My one toon T'varo refit though can't seem to have shades of color other then grey on the pattern selection.. Not essential to game play.. but detracts from the look and feel... and emersion.
More coming as i trip back over them..
lots here, I tried to sumarise and focus on things that either shouldn't require significant additional functionality or are already available elsewhere in the game.
I'm going to hold off on adding this one as it doesnt seem to be a KDF specific issue.
added
can you be more specific?
Added other things noticed else where, looks like some issues with costumes are being addressed on tribble, hopefully they will make it to holodeck
Clipping issues with the sash, lack of customization colour options for gauntlets, boots etc, only have like 1/2 a dozen brown colours to choose from. Also unable to change the colour of the center part of the top. I don't know whether you'll consider that a bug or not, but for me it was a huge let down and feels unfinished to a point that I advise people not to get the uniform.
clipping issues are noted
as far as colors, the limited palette seems to indicate that Cryptic wants KDF in subdued, earth-tones, romulans in greater variety of earth tones, and federation can basically wear whatever colors they want.
really unfair in the color customization but it was likely either an art designer's or CBS choice, unlikely to convince them to give us more options
High-res model only visible at great distances.
Still no Klingon 100-day veteran reward (reminder: Feds got the "All Good things" commbadge)
KDF Fleet Mark Daily on Starbase bugged and can't be finished 50% of the time.
I wouldn't mind a red, black or grey colour rather than just the brown. Customisation is the key here, giving people more options means people will stay interested longer and thus in-game and possibly spending money.
If not cross faction - then a serious incentive to actually play it (or rescale it to 5-10 players)
added; the faction specific palette limitation is rather silly. After all why would romulan refugees and klingon warriors care about color rules.
I've played breaking the planet with 6 players before in private matches with no problems, it really doesn't to be scaled
added
If a FED Klingon can wear whatever colors he wants, then all Klingons should be able to do the same.
Not only do I agree with not sharing any more future consoles, but the current cross-faction ones need a performance nerf by @60%.
That way the originals would retain their distinction and effectiveness.

KDF ships with assimalted parts do not get green warp nacelles like the other factions pic
Uniform - Jacket Tight - Honor Guard has a null midriff on my orion girl (no other boffs have the option so dunno whats going on there) pic
added to list
Also uniform vests don't work for all species. My Lethean can't use it, but Klingons and Aliens can. I also know Gorn BOFF can use them.
Oh I like that, I like that a lot. On the topic of that, the KDF Point Defense Console, still shoots orange bolts rather than green. It was updated to be a Disruptor type weapon rather than a phaser but the disruptor bolt visual was never updated.
It really should be cross-faction teaming for Defera, as it is Task Force Omega.
They aren't likely to give out a significant amount of fleetmarks for non-teamed pve.
To help on Defera, try the channel KDFdefera, I set it up after the event became nonscheduled, and other PvE requiring KDF-only teams is acceptable on there too, 267 members normally 20-40 online and ~30 moderators total to self-regulate.
added line for defera, I really should have remembered that one
added
Fleet Hoh'Sus miss Veteran hull skin, also missing warp in\out animation.
