Why did no one tell me the KDF was so cool?

Seriously, I am mainly a Federation player, but a free C-store ship can lure the best of us, and I recently started a Orian Alt. The KDF is amazingly cool, awesome duty officer missions, enough contraband to drown an unprepared player, and the moments when your non Klingon acts like a Klingon.

I am serious when I say that I am glad to have started a KDF alt, though I never liked them in the shows, their faction is fun, the missions are fun, and the duty officer system pays out so much more than the Fed one.

Try and spread the good word long time KDF players, I see no reason why anyone wouldn't want to play this side as well

    That's quite the paradox, how could you nerf nerf when the nerf is nerfed. But how would the nerf be nerfed when the nerf is nerfed? This allows the nerf not to be nerfed since the nerf is nerfed? But if the nerf isn't nerfed, it could still nerf nerfs. But as soon as the nerf is nerfed, the nerf power is lost. So paradoxally it the nerf nerf lost its nerf, while it's still nerfed, which cannot be because the nerf was unable to nerf.

    I call it, the Stoutes paradox.

    IMO the only time Klingons are cool is when a Klingon messed up during a snowball fight.
    This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.

    I created my first KDF toon last year, but only to help out with the starbase of our KDF sister fleet. It wasn't really until this past summer that I really played that toon, and came to enjoy the KDF side. To me it really feels like a different playstyle and is quite refreshing.

    Amusing sidebar: When LoR went live, a fleet mate was leveling his Romulan and couldn't decide whom to ally with. I told him, "Better dead than Fed."

    I thought about making a thread, but I figure just a post in this thread will do:

    My Fed engineer (handsome fellow as my avatar) is my main toon and takes priority over all others, BUT...

    I have the most fun on my KDF characters.

    My Klingon Tac is my first and main KDF toon. Currently flies the Fleet Mogh, and loves every second of it.

    My Orion Sci is mostly a Ker'rat dweller when I choose to, flying around in a sci-heavy B'rel and generally annoying the hell out of anyone I want.

    My Klingon Eng is ironically my least played character outside of some old farming toons I have, despite both loving engies as a class, and enjoying my other KDF toons. How does THAT work, y'know?

    My Lethean Tac is a ground-specced toon, and I LOVE playing on him on the ground. With rep tokens, I've started leveling his rep more easily, making me more desiring to play him.



    On the other sides...

    Both my Romulan toons so far are KDF allied (and if I ever get around to it, so will the third one).

    Romulan Sci is my lesser played Romulan, flies a T'varo because I could, but otherwise ain't done much.

    Reman Tac flies his Scimitar, and likes to Thalaron things a lot.

    Fed Tac is probably my least played Fed toon and nearly played as much as my Klingon eng, that is how much I neglect him.

    Fed Sci is a ground-specced offensive science guy, and if you know me in the game, you know exactly who he is and why that is the case.



    Again, point is that, for the most part, I enjoy my Klingons WAY more than my Feds for the most part.

    Be sure to check out the duty officer stuff, it's way better then the Fed side. They have a lot of missions that will get you both Catfood and a lot that provide good dil pay outs.

    The KDF is pretty awesome to play, wish more would try it out because it is awesome:)

    Yeah, really, there are not a lot of compelling reasons to go Fed as a Rommie. All the good stuff is KDF-side, and every reason that people use to justify why they specifically chose Fed are entirely short-sighted.

    In the end, your fleet level doesn't matter, what matters is this: DIPLOMACY or MARAUDING?

    You are slow :D But anyway I hope you picked a female orion alt. :)

    The only down side I will point out is that almost no one KDF side ever queues up for KDF vs. KDF matches. It seems like for the most part KDF players would rather beat the TRIBBLE out of Feds than try to improve their skills against other KDF officers.

    Why do I complain about this? You can count on one hand how many KDF Player ship kills I have and just a little over double that in KDF Player Ground kills.

    Well, for the longest time, queuing for KDF matches was an exercise in futility. You'd need TWICE as many KDF players. Since people wanting a fight would thus queue for both, the FvK would inevitably pop first and drain the buffer. Since you can only queue for a limited number of things, eventually people just gave up wasting their slot on it.

    Besides, apparently, Klingons don't really fight each other nearly as much as Feds want to.

    I hate to post a "me too" message, but...
    The KDF ships are tons of fun. Flying a BoP using attack pattern alpha is like fighting from a rollercoaster. They take some practice and can pop easily at first, so don't give up on your first couple of attempts. Later try a retro K't'inga, it is closer to a raider than a cruiser - especially if you skill a BOff with aux to inertial dampeners! Of course the new Mogh is the best way to keep up with the Kumari and Scimitars. (Is the plural Kumari or Kumaris?)

    When you and your crew beam aboard a Starfleet vessel, slaughter the surviving crew, let the Captain watch his crew being shot to pieces, then proceed and beat the hell out of him for some important Security Codes, then execute him afterwards, was when I realized how awesome KDF missions are.

    Despite the benign neglect from pwe/cryptic, which was corrected (somewhat) by the new tutorial and the release of the Mogh. Despite the cut and paste of some of the episodes, where loyal tlhIngan warriors cheer loudly about being rescued by Starfleet, I never looked back once I started playing as a Klink.

    I enjoy playing STO as a Starfleet officer. But I prefer, and enjoy much more, playing STO as a member of the KDF.

    Welcome, Warrior! Honor and Glory to your House and yourself!

    Some advice, if I may. Make sure the Loremasters know the correct spelling for your name. The bloodwine sometimes makes them a little less than...diligent about the details. It is embarrassing to be forced to declare a blood feud because your deeds are attributed to another. Nausicaans are very useful in battle. As long as one reminds them of their place. Orion women can be a distraction. If allowed to, they can become an addiction. Romulans make good friends and better enemies. The Borg are soulless machines who fight like machines. With ruthless efficiency and a complete lack of honor. The Jem'Hadar are fine warriors who follow a flawed code of honor and are slaves to the shape shifters of the Dominion. This is a pity. Because they have the potential few others possess. To follow the Path of the Warrior as we do.

    The Undine. There are no words which can truly describe the base treachery and dishonor of these foul demons from an alternate dimension. They will use any trick, any lie, to subvert someone to their cause. Starfleet and the Federation are both firmly under their sway. Yet both are willfully blind to this. Neither will listen to truth when it is spoken for such.

    I suspect this is so because despite Starfleet's constant talk about tolerance and fairness and the like, they do not view the Empire and tlhInganpu' as true equals. Instead they view us as barbarians. With a limited intellect and few goals besides glory in battle and an honorable death afterwards. We are barbarians, Battle Brother. Never forget this. But those who would belittle or ignore the Path of the Warrior constantly underestimate us. Are we the ones with limited intellects in this case? I think not.

    Let us go and show them how wrong their views are.

    KDF rocks hard and actually feels authentic and true to canon. And the new episodes with Worf voice overs are worth leveling a new toon. Qapla!

    Thanks Mr. Dorn.

    KDF is definitely fun, despite missing a few things.

    If you just look past our habitual grousing here on the forums, you'll see that KDF is fun to play with. We don't often complain in-game, as far as I can tell. . .the forums are meant to be a soapbox :P

    KDF is a lot of fun. Even better now since they worked on them. Where before it was really lacking. I recommend anyone at least trying a few missions. To see what its all about. I did and hadn't stopped yet. Even to where I created a 2nd KDF character.
