Spend more money then. When the KDF starts being more profitable than the Federation, you can have all the starships.
spend more on what? I have every KDF design ship from the c store. and yeah I said it the right way cause hasn't been a new one since the name changed to zen store.
closest thing to a new end game ship I have seen were fleet versions of ships.
Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.
just because it will tweak sooo many noses, I hope there is a K'VORT with the 5-3 configuration
yes! i said it! the dirty dirty word! K'VORT! K'VORT! K'VORT! K'VORT!
Bless you girl! K'Vort or bust Cryptic!!!

This ... so much this. I have spent 5 to 1 on Feds vs Klingons even thought I bought the Hoh'sus and few other ships for consoles. There is nothing much available for Klnks.
1. Escort ... only underpowered raptors -> No
2. Heavy destroyer ... none worth flying -> No
3. Battle cruiser ... Vorcha / Torkhat -> Yes
4. Battleship Heavy cruiser ... lame Neg'vhar ... -> No
5. Science vessel -> No
6. Hybrid / carrier(not Kar'fi) -> No
7. Nice looking BoP w. 4 or 5 tac consoles ... Hoh'sus LOL -> No
Aside from Vorcha there is nothing I would buy for Klingon faction. The Vorcha is not even available as a Tier V c-store ship ... only lower tier and fleet so you can't even unlock it across all toons.
Klingons are consistently strung along and ignored by devs and their PWE overlords.

Klingons don't make money. Infact they lose money on Klingon content. Accept and embrace this.
A faction with little development love and with multiple C-Store ships that are inferior to free level up ships hmm....... I wonder why they had lost money on the Klingons before
Make new Klingon ships that are a little better then current ships then you will get more C-Store ship sales.
I would not call it good business in anyway. Alienating a group of players is not good business. How many customers are lost from leaving the game and how many are told by people they know about the mess of the game and don't even give it a try because of that?
They already alienated the KDF faction as it is. A lot of KDF fans have left the game or just avoid the game because of Cryptic's known mistreatment of the KDF faction. The people still here playing KDF are either stubborn people like me, or are people who like both factions equally well.
It would take considerable resource investment by Cryptic (enough to compensate for 3 years of blatantly unfair neglect, probably) and a proper marketing/PR campaign for Cryptic to start undoing the damage it has done. Since they've never been willing to give that kind of thing to the KDF, they'll just keep feeding it crumbs and utilizing that idiotic circular argument.
I've long thought on a 5-2 BOP. its a no brainer. C'mon deep down in our hearts well all know in cannon we all love klingons because of BOPS.
A 5-2, 4 tac console BOP solves so many gaps in one stroke.... makes them... UNIQUE. The full universal BOP layout is the KDF's only THING left, that thing that makes them special... Or feel free to go 6-1 if you want to make them even more unique ( I'm overreaching)
I remember back when the vesta 3 pack came out, followed by the andorian 3 pack. People screaming for a KDF equivalent. Now with Rom's the screaming is even louder as KDF don't have battlecloak as their thing anymore...
BOP 3 PACK!! Problem Solved...! Might I recommend the Heg'tah Model as a base, beef it up a little (or not Looks badass as is, and looks like it has extra hardpoints for a 5-2/6-1 setup... wink wink...) its a great looking model for such a BOP, HEAVY HEG'TAH! See name and all for you...
Lower hull balances the uni slots as ever... being able to get uber creative with builds from the uni's covers all the bases and now glaring gaps with other factions.... in one stroke! Amazing! I'm not going to ramble on details of the consoles for each type in the 3 pack ill leave that to the boffins at cryptic to work out and get funky with.
(Actually I lie Bop 3 Pack ain't my idea... original idea + consoles below... but make it 5-2/6-1!!)

GIVE THE PEOPLE WHAT THEY WANT... IT'LL SELL LIKE HOT CAKES...!
then you can go back to ignoring the KDF in peace and quiet having placated the masses.... Boom! Winning!
I would definitely settle for this if I can't have the 3 pack. Heg'tah looks good too.

I can settle letting the kdf faction have their 5/3 ship, if we fed/rom can have a dang AA.
No, you guys already have 5/3 ships, this is just bringing the KDF faction on par with you lot. I know, we're so greedy, right?
Don't worry, Cryptic will peddle the AA off to you folks soon enough, forcing the KDF players to keep buying the thing the expensive way (1500 zen, I think) while you lot get to buy an AA for 2 mil EC.

Why would ANYONE spend real money on a KDF ship, when the Feddies can buy the same consoles from the exchange for EC ??? (and don't fool yourself, people buy ships for the consoles that come one them)
I bought the Vor'Kang to put its bridge on my Fleet Vor'Cha. Havn?t used the console at all so far.

WE WANT A KDF BOP 3 PACK!!

Why do we not have this ship yet?
Yeah, that's right.
Praetor of the -RTS- Romulan Tal Shiar fleet!

Lol good one!!!

You will see KDF player spend money if there was something new to spend money on in the first place.
The last endgame C-Store ship the KDF has had is the Bortasqu'. ALMOST TWO YEARS AGO.
Let the warriors have the ships designed for killing !!!
If we got a 6 / 1 BoP, My Rom and Fed would retire :P
UNLIMITED HAZARD SUITS!
(couldn't resist ^.^)
