They could easily help to fill out the lacking areas in the KDF ship lineup.

Playable Fighters:
Naga (Gorn)
Stinger (Nausicaan)
Orion Interceptor
S'Kul

T1 frigates:
Vishap (Gorn)
Syphon Frigate (Nausicaan) Special feature: a single hangar for the syphon drones
Orion Corvette (Orion)
Fer'jai

T2
Tuatara Cruiser (Gorn) The T5 Fleet refit could fill the same role as the Ambassador-class
Nausicaan Destroyer-Escort

T3
Brigand Cruiser (Orion) The T5 Fleet Refit could fill the same role as the Star Crusier.
K'Norr

T5
Balaur Dreadnaught (both old and new models)
Warbarge Dreadnaugh (Orion)
Talon Battleship (Nausicaan)

I may post some more ideas, but would like to hear the input of others.

    I'd certainly like to have some of those playable. But considering the KDF is still (as far as I know) the least profitable faction, I doubt any of them will come long for a while.

    "Critics who say that the optimistic utopia Star Trek depicted is now outmoded forget the cultural context that gave birth to it: Star Trek was not a manifestation of optimism when optimism was easy. Star Trek declared a hope for a future that nobody stuck in the present could believe in. For all our struggles today, we haven’t outgrown the need for stories like Star Trek. We need tales of optimism, of heroes, of courage and goodness now as much as we’ve ever needed them."

    Cryptic marketing department: please no KDF legacy pack. I'd like to have future KDF ships come out one ship at a time.

    Do the Ferasans or Letheans have any ships or were they both prewarp societies that the Klingons brought on for their combat skills?

    Ferasans i belive have the in game lore of being from the same world as caitians but left. so we know they might use a version of the atrox.

    While the Carrier lineup for the KDF is already very good, the Orion IMO do rate a race specific Carrier.

    Orion Flight Deck Cruisers already sprinkle the KDF lineup across the different tiers. 3 of the KDF faction hangar units are Orion design: Marauder Shuttles, Slavers, Interceptors. The Orion form a very significant base of the KDF carrier forces. IMO, it's not a stretch to make one of the large Orion ships as a Carrier. In the similar way I suggested the Fed Jupiter-class be made into a full-fledged 2-hangar carrier.

    A Cryptic dev once said around 1 or 2 years ago in a blog where he said... ''We will see alot more KDF Ships b4 we see any Klingon Align races get theirs'', and during that time the KDF line up only got 2 Tier 5 C-store ships (I count the C&P KDF dyson ships as one)... so at this rate we see atleast 1 new Gorn, Nausicaan, Lethean, Orion or Farasen around 5 years from now, if not we will see none at all. but, do expect the Feds to get 100 more Tier 5 ships during the next 2 years while the KDF only get 1 or 2...

    Looking at the past 2 years, that's highly doubtful. Most of the ships that were released during that time were either Romulan or some sort of cross-faction ship. The only ones that were unique and completely new to either Fed or KDF were the Kumari, Vesta and those 2-3 ships from the KDF low-level lineup.

    The rest were either true cross-faction ships (Risian, Lockbox, Lobi, Breen...) or ships that used the same setup and simply different models (Ambassador/Kamarag, Dyson, Battlecruiser etc...).

    I'm willing to bet we're going to see more of those in addition to a few revamps of older ships, like they did with the Patrol Escort, rather than true, new and unique ones.

    I don't think Nausicaans use Escorts(ignoring the "escort-level" NPC), otherwise sure.

    I want a Ferasan Atrox as well.

    The other non-KDF escorts at T3, T4, and T5 are Nausicaan ships. I was looking for a place to put that little ship, and T2 was the natural choice. The T5 Fleet Refit could easily use some of the same stats as the Fleet Aquarius (such as hull, shields, consoles, and BOFFs) while retaining the Crew, Turn rate, and Device slots.

    And yes, I would like to see a Ferasan Atrox with a new paint job and a more Tac/Eng focus.

    I suggest a retrofit Gorn cruiser for 200,000 fleet credits because at the moment we can get Orion and Naussian retrfit ships but the only Gorn ships are the fleet retrofits
