Feds are spoiled, lol, they get all the good stuff! Just kidding. :rolleyes:
Anyway, I'm just curious as to why the Fed toons can transwarp to K7 station but KDF toons can't transwarp to Genalda. Seems odd to me. There is no place in Eta Eridani that a KDf can transwarp to. Quickest way there is to transwarp to Qonos, depart Qonos system, fly almost halfway across Omega Leonis just to get to Eta Eridani.
Seems a bit unfair to me.
I prefer to go Genalda because it is a hassle to go to First City to do any kind of business because there are always a lot of other players there. So you warp into Qonos system, then have to bump your way through all of the player ships that are parked there and just sitting there clicking on their buffs for no apparent reason, just to get close enough to the planet to beam down. Then you have to run halfway across First City just to get to the bank, exchange etc.. And if you want to go to the shipyard then you have to get on the transporter and again change maps. What a pain in the butt.
It would be so much easier for KDF players if they could transwarp to Genalda Station the same way Feds can transwarp to K7.
This is not a complaint thread....I'm merely making a suggestion.
Please add Genalda Station to KDF transwarp locations! :cool:

Also, seems odd to me that KDF can transwarp to Regulus sector but nowhere in Eta Eridani, I've been playing KDF for over a year and have never had the need to transwarp to Regulus. Just saying.
Bonus: No cooldown for your other transwarps!
Fedside, K-7 used to be such a nice place, then people started showing up en-masse. Now the place is swarmed, but at least they're QUIET. Still, who needs a bunch of lag-inducing useless people cluttering the place up? Amscray!
Anyway, was just a suggestion, but I see that as usual it will likely turn into a flame before long....I'm already being told to "Bugger off" and "Amscray". Shoulda known better than to make a suggestion here....................

That said I and others here have long asked for another station or social hub like Khitomer or Ty'gokor with full facilities as DS9 has.
I have started to use Dyson command a bit though, its usually pretty quiet to and has decent facilities to go about your daily business.
I actually use it very often as a hub where I deal with stuff. Now if PvP was not a poorly designed and broken afterthought in this game, Ganalda would've probably been more lively, like back in the days with Ker'rat in the vicinity.
But on the topic - I agree with misterde3, not having the transwarp to Ganalda option is probably tied with the proximity between the starbase Qo'noS.
Warp back to Qonos and work on my ship there? So I can constantly transport between First City and the Shipyard, unless I write out a shopping list? Not happening. And nowadays the Captain's Table doesn't have the ship guy there, so that's useless too now. Great work, Cryptic. NAILED IT.
Although, I'd like a KDF starter pack in the store too and KDF benefits along with my Fed ones, so apparently I may just be clinically insane.
With the version of the game I bought, I get a free Borg Eng Officer for my Feds. But all my KDF officers have to buy them, either with unrealistic amounts of time (dilling the 500Z), money (I gotta pay 5 bucks for something my Fed toon just gets for free? Not happening, on general principle ALONE), or EC (Last time I checked the exchange, they were 25 mil - pffft.).
And I bet the list goes on and on, but I've never noticed.
I must say though, that Pi Canis and the Empire Defense mission go a small part towards making it up to me.
But only a small part.
Sorry I got off topic, but SHEESH - KDF should be proud warriors, not second-class citizens.
I go to Genalda Station on a daily basis. That's where I turn in my Contraband for dilithium. It is also a jump point to Otha System for one of the Foundry missions I do; Vulture Wheel. I also tried the ground combat on Otha against the Borg just to do something different once in a while and curious to see what pathetic TRIBBLE reward I get for my efforts.
This is just 1 little thing that can make a huge difference. Feds seem to get everything they want. And people wonder why so few people play KDF as compared to how many play Feds.
Proximity really doesn't mean that much to me, it's more about map changes. Feds can transwarp to K7 from Sol or wherever but KDFs have to make multiple map changes to get to Genalda even if their starting point is First City. Leave the system (map move 1), Fly to Eta Eridani (map move 2), Enter Genalda system (map move 3), Dock at Genalda (map move 4).
Whatever....... :rolleyes:
Sol is not a sector away. It's a sector block away.
Do you honestly not know the difference between a sector and a sector block?
http://www.treksinscifi.com/trekdaily/pictures/2012-01-13_Trekonline.jpg
In this case that means it's 1 sector from Qo'noS to Ganalda and 3 from Sol to K-7.
I understand you want to make a point but either you're trying to make a point without understanding even the fundamentals of the game or you're intentionally misrepresenting them.
If they ever do such a thing I wouldn't mind Ganalda getting a make over, as it stands it is basically a copy/paste of K7 with depressing lighting.
Like I said, proximity means very little, it's more about the map changes involved.
T2: Feds - K7. KDF - Alpha Centauri block.
T3: Feds - Sierra 39. KDF - Regulus Block (just under Centauri block)
T4: Both - DS9.
Two things bother me about this list...
1. KDF doesn't get a direct base transwarp until T4's DS9, while Feds get one as soon as they hit Diplo T2...
2. KDF still has no base in the "north" end of the map, Like the Fed's Sierra 39. Why does the KDF have to "go home" (via full transwarp to Q'onos) or (fairly recently) take the semi-quick hop to Mol'Rihan? Remember, the KDF does have a series or two up there in Romulan space...
So, IMO, let's see the following happen:
1. Alpha Cent transwarp should deposit KDF at a base of some sort, built in that area to be the KDF's "northern base"...
2. Transwarp to nowhere (I mean Regulus) should get replaced with transwarp to Gandala...

federation have a transwarp to Starbase 39 Sierra, which is almost the same distance from earth as genalda is to qo'nos. though interestingly both of these close-to-home starbases are usually abandoned. i wonder if that has anything to do with it?
still. i have always wondered why genalda didnt have a transwarp. its literally the KDF K-7 in every way. it's the nearest starbase to the fleet base, best place to sell stuff after kerrat, and the maps are almost identical too.
both factions have a alpha centauri transwarp, both have a beta ursae transwarp, but Eta eridani has to be the odd one out. instead regulus is thrown in cause i guess some of us should care that that straightaway to romulan space exists? its nice i guess to be able to transwarp to the center of the map, but too bad there's nothing to do there.
Except, the DS9 for T4 Murdering is in the Beta Ursa Sector. Granted, it is just outside of DS9, but there is a difference. The KDF does get TRIBBLE as far as transwarps until T4.
I would not loose any sleep if the Regulus Sector Transwarp was replaced with Genalda Station. I also think that the Fleet Base System for KDF Fleets should be moved closer to Ker'rat as it is way too close to Genalda. I also agree that there should be a KDF base somewhere in the Alpha Centauri Sector Block(preferably on the east side), and that the drop-in point from the transwarp should be just outside it.
My character Tsin'xing
This character is why I don't play my Romulan any more. Tovan Khev is NOT my BFF! Get him off my bridge!
you can buy the Lobi transwarp thing that opens a jump location in e,e, but I have never bought it so not sure what the spawn point is.
and the same with K7 it needs to open up for KDF. even in Kirks time KDF could go there. but with limits set by the federation. so like the new kdf base limited acces to facilties but can go there. and FEDS ONLY retain direct transwarp.
then give us a battle group or flotilla up in the north like the rommies have before they choose a side.
since Kaarg is not in KDF space anymore maybe relocate it up in the north and turn it into a dockable map/base. NOT LIKE THE BORG SPACE STORES OR TRADE SHIPS WE CAN CALL IN.
EDIT: or the easiest fix to them all. when you transwarp to fleet starbase. and then exit the area let it take us to eta eri instead of where ever we jumped in from. it stupid that it send transwarp into cooldown yet in the end leaves you in the same spot. the starbase has a gate no reason why shouldn't have it as a valid jump location that's usefull.
No KDF T4 Marauder yet. Didn't know that it was a "sector block landing" like Alpha Cent and "nowhere" are...
Side note: Khitomer's in Taw Dewa block, which we can transwarp to as part of Rommie Rep, and we have Mall'Rihan to shop at. Khitomer as a transwarp station is almost as much of a waste as nowhere - aka Regulus...
However, with the Rommie FE arc to play as KDF, having a KDF base up in that neck of the galaxy would be useful (and is practically necessary). As I look at the galaxy map, I see Vendor Sector of Alpha Cent Block would be a prime location for some sort of Klingon Outpost - I mean, between the days of the old KDF-RSE alliance (Tech trade from ToS) etc., it wouldn't surprise me that the KDF got some asteroid or something to set up as a waystation for the long haul from Q'onos to Romulus, and said station could be active right now in light of there being not much RSE to stop them (and D'Tan saying "Why yes, my erstwhile Klingon allies, go ahead and recommission KDF outpost whatever it was"... Said base can be a KDF-retexture of SB39, like Gandala is a retexture of K7...

I still vote khitomer its iconic trek and KDF particularly, with Nimbus in the area also it would be a good place to also introduce a lvl 50 adventure zone on the ground. nimbus sucked, not because of the play there but the rewards are TRIBBLE as far as loot goes. Really is just so much this game could do wiith places already in view its insane.
im no feddy bear and don't play that faction since I hit lvl 25 but andoria and Vulcan are a jokes as well. im sure plenty others are about and may even be close to each other but look at bejor and DS9 they are right next to each other . even defera the invasion zone there is nice but it could be so much better if the deferi city had more facilities and possibly relocate the officer that give mission in invasion zone a command post there.
Genalda should be a transwarp location for KDF. I've read lame excuse after lame excuse for why the KDF can't transwarp there. But I'm sure most of those excuses were likely made by Fed players that the change would not even affect. We (KDF players) demand equality!
