Hey all, while i do have a ''KDF Needs More End Game Tier 5 Ships Thread'' which is aim for the KDF Community to demand Cryptic to give more Tier 5 Ships to the KDF faction while the gap between Tier 5 Fed and KDF lineup becomes larger in favor towards the Feds.
I decided to make a separate thread dedicated specifically for the KDF Community if not the STO Community in general to make a unofficial vote for 5 NPC KDF-Align Alien Ships they want to see converted into playable and more detailed versions of these ships, While the KDF-Align Races such as the Orions, Nausicaans and Gorn do have ships in the KDF lineup, they have few on Tier 5 and even fewer with Fleet versions and there have been no new designs of any KDF-Alien Ships since b4 the game went F2P.
The goal of this thread is to demand Cryptic to convert some of these NPC ships that we want to use in game as playable detail versions like they did with the Scimitar for the Romulan Puppet Subfaction.
Here's the list of ships from Frigates to Dreadnoughts that have no playable versions currently u can vote for... Hopefully Cryptic reads this thread and see how the KDF/STO Community want to use them and decides to make them playable for the KDF faction..

I also wouldn't mind getting the original Warbarge skin for the Vo'quv.
"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."
-Thomas Marrone
Orion Warbarge
K'Norr
Naus Destroyer-Escort
Orion Interceptor (shuttle)
Brigand Cruiser
And for those who want to know beyond that,
Orion Corvette
Tuatara Cruiser
Naga Fighter (shuttle)
Stinger Fighter (shuttle)
Vishap Frigate
Syphon Frigate
Talon Battleship
S'Kul Fighter
Fer'jai Frigate
Balaur Dreadnaught (both original and new models)
Preferably in that order.
1) Warbarge
2) Balaur
3) Ravager
So getting into the remaining two ships for my top 5, I'd have to go with:
4) Talon Battleship (as an actual Cruiser with all four Commands, leaning Tac)
5) Zilant Battleship (as an actual Cruiser with all four Commands, leaning Sci)
In regards to actual ships though, the top three I'd like to see would be:
1) Orion Warbarge
2) Syphon Frigate
3) Ravager
[EDIT] Some Ferasan ships would be nice, too.
OH SHIPS... :cool:
Orion dreadnought
Obsidian Order sold Keldon
5 Forward Escort
K'Vort
Dedicated T5 Science Vessel
Your Ramming Speed III deals 242658 (243540) Kinetic Damage (Critical) to you.
1: Warbarge Dreadnought
2: Orion Corvette
3: Brigand Cruiser
4: Slavemaster Battleship
5: Orion Interceptor fighter/shuttle
close 6th for me would be the Nausicaan Destroyer Escort purely for the look of a non Orion ship in my list.
Destroyer Escort
Maybe the first 2 fek ships.
Player ships are getting too big in this game, everyone's flying dreadnoughts. The oddy and bort and voquv are supposed to be imposing and dominate a battle scene, now they barely compare to the lineup in a typical stf.
More frigate sized stuff!
My favourites would have to be:
1) Nausicaan Destroyer (with raider flanking)
2) Nausicaan Talon (tac-oriented, full cruiser commands)
3) Gorn Tuatara (sci-oriented, full cruiser commands)
4) Fek'lhri K'Norr
5) Gorn Vishap, Nausicaan Siphon, Orion Corvette - alternative starter ships, given to the player according to their species)
All those ships mentioned by the OP are needed for the way Cryptic rolled out the KDF although they are no poster child for finishing what they started. It will most likely never happen because we are lucky to get 1 ship a year so many if this game lasts like 50 more years we might get them then. It won't happen in my life time that is for sure.
