While it's not KDF-specific, my major want right now is a total overhaul of BOff traits (mirrroring what they did with PCs).
Give the iconic Trek races - Vulcans, Andorians, Klingons, Gorn etc - space traits on a par with (but not necessarily the same as) Romulans and Remans. Really, one decent space trait for every species should not be excessive (though that would mean some duplication on the Fed side).
Say this for the KDF
Nausicaans - Pirate, as is.
Gorn - Leadership, hull / subsystem repair buff (since the Gorn seem to be the tech specialists of the KDF, and have a "resilient" theme in other games).
Klingons - Damage / Crit boost, less spiky than Roms and more focused on sustained damage.
Orions - Subterfuge (IIRC, the TOS Orion ship was impossible to hit...)
Letheans already have efficient, but again a balance pass to bring in line with newer abilities would be good.
Ferasans - not sure, perhaps something like Romulan Operative to reflect their "predatory" nature?
Properly balanced, this would give players an incentive to mix and match their BOffs, or at least be very good in one area if they run a themed (eg all-Gorn) crew.
I'd also like to see some more C-Store BOff options - Assimilated Gorn and Klingon Augments already exist as DOffs, for example, and could be done with existing art assets.
Much of what you say I second... Plus I'd like to see some greater adhearence to "cannon" starship design of all species. Clean up the the goofy details and panel lines and add original textures, instead of the horde of esoteric ships we have now. That and scaling the ship interiors and making them look like what they were on screen would add to the game enjoyment so much more.
I just want to be able to customize my tier 4 Marauding reward BOff. Seriously, that's been an issue for like, forever.
And then, if it's not too much to ask, playable mek'leth and d'k tahg melee weapons, please.
...Oh, baby, you know, I've really got to leave you / Oh, I can hear it callin 'me / I said don't you hear it callin' me the way it used to do?...

Orion/Gorn/Nausicaan ship interiors/self-contained bridges. The red Klingon industrial look just does not match those ships.
More customization options would be nice, but I'm at the point where I've just learned to live with what we've got(Most of my characters look the way I want them to at this point).
.
I also second this. Right now I use the Koloth bridge, which while it doesn't have the annoying red light and is a carrier bridge, it just doesn't have the Orion feel to it.
For the love of all things klingon, fix the pivot point on the raptor. Due to it being more aft oriented it has the slowest actual turn rate of all the escorts on its level. It turns somewhere between a Vorcha and Defiant. Before anyone scream yes it degree per second is on par with escorts but because it is more long than round the aft turning point cause the nose to rotate slower. So either move the turn axis more center biased or lower it inertia.
They've explained that this isn't actually true in the past, it just looks weird.
They've explained that this isn't actually true in the past, it just looks weird.
What they say and what is true are two different things. I have tested it versus other escorts both visually and via stop watch. The raptor does not make it back on target as fast as other ships with the same or similar stats
Hey I Used to be Captain Data, well I guess I still am in game but the account link really screwed everything up :rolleyes:
I'd like to see the ability to have multiple ships with the same name and the same registry, as long as the letter is different, which it can use internally to distinguish in the ship list. I have a ship called the "Enclave" which I fell in love with. I wanted to name my next ship after it but the system wouldn't let me. I had to waste credits renaming my old ship to "Enclave A" so I could name my new ship "Enclave". If the system could distinguish between them by registry letters without having to change the name that would be much more favourable. That way the ship list in the UI could show the names of the ships with the letter designation, if there is one, but the actual skin would just say the name, with the letter registration appropriately underneath next to the number registry.
Also, I still would like custom crew uniforms. Maybe even ship hallways that match the bridge design. It's very jarring to go from the nice bright and earth-toned Enterprise D bridge style to the very cold and dark Enterprise E/Voyager hallways. Same goes for the TOS bridge, I suppose. I've never tried it, but I can't imagine it'd have its own hallways any more than nay other bridge design doesn't.
But seriously my KDF wishlist for 2014 mirrors my overall STO wishlist. I'd prefer they concentrate on fixing bugs and fixing broken systems as opposed to offering new content. That'll never happen since bug fixes don't generate any profit and this game is apparently run by Ferengi, but I can still hope.

Some more Orion, Naucassian and Gorn ships that aren't all the one type (ie, an Orion escort for example).
More uniforms for the KDF, plus the uniform bug fixed.
Removable of the off-duty and such uniform sections and have them all merged into one. I'd love to mix off-duty, Honour guard and normal uniforms. It would give us players more customisation options.
KDF science ships that look KDF not that crazy Dyson junk.
A separation on the exchange so I don't have to go through all the fed junk to get to the KDF things. Bridge officers and doff's come to mind here.

I swear there were more costume options for Klingons before they changed the character creator but maybe it's my imagination since I absolutely hate the new character creator, I waste more time fixing things that accidentally get changed whenever I get too close to one of those stupid portraits then I spend actually making adjustments.
It has been months and we are still seeing "KDF captains can't use all costume slots" as a known issue, fix it for christ sake.
I don't like how costume options appear to be locked to the race of the character. I think a Gorn would look amazing with Nausican bladed armor and I want better choices than just something cut from a dead animal to put on my Klingon characters. As it is I have to be content with whatever visuals I can get from item sets to give my toons a different look, I am not even going to think about investing money in c-store or lobi accessories until they finally fix the damn costume slot bug.
The other thing on my wish list would be that they get rid of that automatic resizing quest tracker, that thing is damn annoying and whoever thought of it really needs to be dragged down a dirt road by his feet by a couple of angry bikers.
If something is not broken, don't fix it, if it is broken, don't leave it broken.

Yeah, the new tailor/character creator royally sucks, but there weren't more costumes before it was implemented. We still have the same costumes availible, granted many of us can't use them.
Besides all the bug fixes I'm still waiting on more klingon blade options. Already see NPCs running around with them, why can't I?

Some kind of base in Alpha Centauri
The generals jacket which was promised during the 1st year anniversary
More ships
Something unique for the KDF like with the Romulans
More content
A revamp of Qo'Nos, it's a bit annoying to walk around through
Female Nausicaans, Gorn and Letheans
A revamp of Ganalda
The flanking bonus which was PROMISED during the Winter Event
And last but not least, the Dahar masters jacket.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

More KDF uniforms, currently NPC available ones made available to players, give us the full Honour Guard available costume sets not just a few bits (Be'ves please), Duras Sisters and other canon and made up uniforms for the faction to give us more variety.
All uniforms on all factions having only one colour pallet (put all available colours into one and have that the only pallet available).
Bugs fixed, including the KDF uniform bug, clipping issues for uniforms (Korath, Romulan TOS), allow us to customise KDF ships including the Fleet Corsair without having to buy the c-store version. More parts to allow us to kitbash pieces like the other factions.
Birds of Prey's given a buff to make them useful again outside PvP.
Raptor's pivot point error fixed, I don;t fly them for this single reason.
Give us a decent KDF science line of ships (similar to the Vesta for example).
Re-career and re-species tokens (I want my KDF Alien Tactical to be a KDF Klingon Science).
Re-pack up lock box ships so I can move them to other characters.
There is a lot more but those are my priorities.

What would a Merc faction do that you can't get from and Orion or Nausicaan vessel and crew in the current system?
Seriously, you can remove all traces of KDF ID from your ship and crew as it is, and then spend your life raiding Federation and independent colonies.

I second this.
And I'll add I'd like playable small craft versions of the Maurading Force Shuttle, the Slavers, and the Interceptors.

Yeah, I'd like to see them as well.
I'd also like to see some extra costume (Cstore or free) options for the KDF tailor.
