I mainly play the KDF side but for a change of pace I made a couple Fed tunes. I was excited to finally get to run Breaking the Planet, The Big Dig, and Klingon Scout Force. Imagine my disappointment when I discovered the queues didn't pop like I thought they would on the blue side, they are no better there than they are on the red side.
The FA's need to be redesigned so they are cross faction friendly. Breaking the Planet and Klingon Scout Force could be redesigned so we face Mirror Universe, Breen, or any foe other than what's there so both factions can queue for it. The Big Dig already has Tal Shiar so it wouldn't take much to make it cross-faction.
Now that we are all friendly and on hand shaking terms it makes sense to allow both factions to queue up for the same FA's. Who knows the players may get to actually play them this way, it sure wouldn't hurt the chances for the queues to pop more.
If you think we ought to have cross-faction FA's post and lend your support.
I play starbase 24 all the time on my Fed. I sure wish there was a equivalant of it for KDF. All they would have to do is change the KDF ships for starfleet ships. Besides we don't see enough of the many starfleet ships out there we can blow up in missions. I bet theres 75% of the feds ships that have never even made any appearence in any mission. Lots and lots of resources never used. Oh well, truth is I have wished so long for some things in sto to get better and they never will. I like star trek and thats never gonna change but if star citizen offers better pve and pvp dog fights, I say no more.
I agree that these missions should be cross faction, but it's really only part of the problem. Another problem is that these missions are 20 man missions. They should be scaled back to five and/or ten person missions. They could keep the 20 person versions and have them only be available during event weekends that boost their rewards.
Another problem is that the mission rewards aren't all that great. They should add better rewards too.
At the very least, they should be made cross faction when the toon hits level 50.
So many PvE missions seem to seldom if ever pop on the KDF side; I don't play my Fed much anymore, but I never had that situation with the Fed side PvE missions, and this has been going on on the KDF side since before the ill-advised removal of the "hourly" events. Now with those gone, it's even worse. Good luck getting Starbase Fleet Defense (best mission for Fleet Marks) to pop outside a Bonus Mark Weekend if you're playing KDF.
I wish I could see the new star base that I helped defend with my allies sadly I am a kdf and the garbage faction of the galaxy
I really enjoy by far more being a klingon that a starfleet. Seriously. And i think A LOT of people too. But federation was the first, and all the effort cryptic put into it now its done. So, everything that came after the original starfleet and STO will never be enough. But i dont need more starbase 24 type content for the klingons. Because one of the good things about STO is the difference between factions, and this is one of em. Klingons need to sacrifice some things like not be able to fight for mkXII items in a space mission like starbase 24. They, on the opposite can gather millions of resources and contraband in really easy ways, and this is a essential part of the game. And klingons in this matter are they kings. So, even if you think they "need" more things like the feds, i disagree. Its like asking a klingon to have more diplomatic missions.

Yeah, the KDF side needs to have more attention paid to it IMO. Making these events cross-faction would be a step in the right direction. Both factions should really have equal opportunity.
Unfortunately that is the truth, the KDF queues been dead for ages. Especially the Fleet Actions, I don't recall playing it since they moved them to the queues.
And while they are at it, perhaps the Warzones and Battlezones can get the cross-faction treatmeant too.
