KDF uniform and ship customization options?

timezargtimezarg Member Posts: 1,268
So, my attention was recently drawn to just how many ship customization options the Federation tends to have with their ships. The Sovereign, for example, has 6 standard hull types to pick from, along with a few other more exclusive hull types. I don't have a Federation character right now, but I feel it's safe to say a similar level of customization exists on other Federation vessels (4-5 ship hull types, big color palette, etc).

KDF, however, seems to suffer from some limitations. Rarely do I see a ship given more than 3 hull type options (with one of them being some ugly-looking neon-blue/green), and I think our color palette is smaller and less versatile.

Then there's the well-known issue of the KDF having limited uniform customization options compared to the Federation.

My question to Cryptic is this: Are there any plans to give the KDF more options for ship and uniform customization? It's not necessarily crucial, but it would be nice to have more options.

    Fleet corsair and the fleet destroyer customization has been broken for 1 1/2 years.
    Marauder boff customization has been broken for 2 years.
    Embassy costume has been broken for almost a year.

    Yes they know about it. No it isn't on the schedule to be fixed whatsoever.

    New costumes? Why would you want new ones when the old ones are broken?

    And previous ship/avatar costumes for kdf has sold poorly.
    Should I start posting again after all this time?

    They spent all that time giving you capital ships you can launch from hangar bays, powerful universal consoles that, with few exceptions, can be used on any klingon ship on an account. Just sayin'.

    But you can get all that stuff and more by not being kdf.
    Just sayin

    It's worth noting that what makes a faction fun to play has little to do with "I-win" consoles and TRIBBLE.

    The Romulans and Feds are better than the Klingons for no other reason than the way in which both are far better fleshed out in the game.

    I would be happy if they would let KDF and Roms show their armor on the character. And KDF show kits. That would be a good start imo. And at least KDF has numerous bridge costumes. The Roms have one....and a second if you get the Dreadnought in C store...

    I agree with the OP... and other posters here.. the KDF is just a Third Wheel!
    R'tolves Will Spread Thier Peace and Will Prevail Over the Hostiles Who Dare Hurt Such A Isolationist Consitutional Monarchy!

    I don't necessarily disagree with you on this notion about what makes a faction fun to play, it's just that with some of the concessions with ships that have happened that's the trade-off for fewer costume options. I honestly would like more apparel options for my two kdf characters.
