Thanks Cryptic for keeping your word!

While I'm counting the minutes to the end of today's maintenence and the moment when I take command of my brand new flagship, let me be the first one to sincerely thank the Cryptic devs. and particualry Mr.Stahl for keeping their promise and releasing a new T5 C-Store KDF ship before the end of this year. :) You guys have been keeping your word and your promises towards the KDF completely this year and this shift deserves to be credited and acknowledged.

Many of us were very dissapointed when Geko stated that this ship might be delayed for next year, so it's really nice to have it as scheduled. So, I want to thank Captain Geko as well for reassesing his position on the release of this ship and giving us the Mogh at this time. It shows that you guys want to keep your word and that really really matters to most of us that like playing on the red side.

It really does go a long way to have your KDF players feel apreciated. I hope this newfound trust and shift in Cryptic/KDF relations that we're witnessing this year carries on in the future and forges a closer and stronger relationship between the red side and the devs. Many of us have said that we're not expecting as much attention as the blue faction, but we just wanted continous development, a full faction experience and to be able to really expect to get what was promised. In that regard, for me this has been a very good year for the KDF. This is one less player that will be on your case now :D, with this promise being kept today I really feel satisfied with the experience I have playing the red side in STO.

So, once again, thank you Cryptic devs. for keeping your word towards the KDF faction throughout this whole year! :) It's really apreciated.

And again, kudos to the art/design team for making a Mogh design that looks and feels so very Klingon and worthy of the Empire! You guys really do awesome Klingon designs, this is the second time I instantly decided to get a ship based on seeing only one screenshot of her. The first time was the Bortasqu'. :D

    Grinding my Welsh butt off and saving my zen stipend to buy this for myself for Christmas. Pretty, pretty ship.

    and like the others even if the ship does not fill my needs im glad you did a new one for the KDF. and im really looking forward to the flanking buffs being applied to all Cloak Capable Klingon warships. LOL I mean BoPs

    Yeah, I'm gonna return to the game (been out for almost 2 months, I think) when they put in the BoP buff, and I'll likely buy this Mogh battlecruiser because it seems like it would be quite nimble. Thanks for giving something to the KDF, Cryptic, and ignore the Feds whining about the Mogh.

    Yeah, thanks Cryptic.

    Its great to see the effort. I'm going to get my Rommies the Scimitar Pack just so they don't feel too left out :) After I get my KDF the Mogh that is!

    Wow. Just, wow.

    For the first time in 3 years of playing STO (as an almost-pure KDFer), for the first time yesterday it felt like the faction was really getting some love.

    Top of the line new BC - check (and bought).

    KDF splash page showcasing our celebrity Voice Actor - check

    BoP giveaway to encourage new players - Check

    New mechanics which the KDF are vastly better placed to exploit than other factions - Check

    A big thanks to the Dev team!

    Here's hoping this attention pays off and the KDF starts getting more regular attention.

    that one actually isn't in for the kdf yet (those that got/are getting the plesh brek being the exception), but here's hoping it'll be soon

    Yeah, things have been pretty good for the KDF this year. :D

    Yes, it's really good to see some KDF love. :D

    BUT

    It (the Mogh) being a 99.9% copy of the Avenger is really weak from a game design point of view.
    I understand this was a surefire way to please the KDF fans. Yet still it would've been nice if it had been done with just a little bit more of creativity.
    'Every side gets the same' is the poorest form of balance. It's the last way out for bad game designers. Surely you dev guys at Cryptic aren't in need of that, right?

    speaking of ships. i finally got to try my bortas heavy battlecruiser out yesterday cause i got KDF 50 on my klink tac. i noticed KDF cruisers are so much more maneuverable than fed ones. made my KDF back when u started at lvl 30 an finally felt the need to level one because cryptic is fixing all of these bugs an givin the faction some ingame love. an those bug fixes are greatly appreciated.

    Thanks Cryptic. The ships a beast. It looks tough, feels powerful. Quite nimble with the cruiser commands too.

    I completely agree with you on the points of how the ship looks and feels. That's what I'm talking about when I'm discussing Cryptic and their KDF designs - they usually hit the nail on the head. ;)

    This ship has fast become my main ship in the entire game and I'll be using her first to plow through any new content that comes to STO in the future. :)

    I glad they came out with the Mogh which i have for awhile now, but i'm not ready to priase Cryptic just because they came out with only 1 KDF Tier 5 C-store ship in the past 2 years not to mention in terms of stats the Mogh it's not unique but a virtua close copy of the Avenger, note that the Avenger itself could be the copy of the Mogh since Cryptic repeatly states they have half done KDF ship which is being on the self becuase they're making epic voth ships... few weeks later, the Avenger came out of nowhere with not even a single mention of it weeks b4.

    I will praise Cryptic only if or when they make another KDF ship within the next 4 months with a unique and solid design and is not a another Battle Cruiser which since STO went F2P the only Tier 5 C-store KDF ships came out are 2 Battle Cruisers the Bortas and the Mogh.

    It would be cool if they came out with some raptors, some bops (maybe even a bop with aux cannons like vesta gets), and for them to fix flanking and then get it to our bops (as well fix the T5 b'rel so it gets the costume from that b'lroth or whatever and as well an alternate costume for hoh'sus).

    Anyways they haven't kept their word per say but its moving more into a direction than it did for 2 years with pretty much nothing. If they come out with some good KDF stuff before their next season release than it would be progress. That I could say but although I love the mogh I am still skeptical if they will start fleshing out the more hot topics of the empire that have never been addressed.
