The primary source of Fed dilithium and loot Is being nerfed hard..The space STFs..Dilithium cut in 1/2 time to complete STF increased by 500% and mk12 loot removed
It never been better than being in the KDF right now
Wrong. They're cutting it to 1/4.
They lied when they said "advanced" in DR is equivalent to "Elite" STFs now. Everything across the board has 2x-3x hitpoints on DR's "Advanced" level. It's upwards of 10x hitpoints on DR's "Elite" level.
The closest approximation to what we have for ESTFs now would be on "easy" in DR. Which means if you expect to carry on with current gear and difficulty level you've got to run "easy" and you're taking a massive dil cut. It only gives 240 dil.
Meanwhile, dil costs across the board have risen geometrically on everything.
Also many in my fed fleet hated the 3 original neon blue ships and wouldn't touch them but loved the KDF ones at first site, many have joined our KDF fleet with new toons as a result.
so when you look at it there's only 2 that many people like i bet those 3 original delta ships will be a rare site.

I would attribute the reduction to the cost they put out on the voyager alumni actors as well as the games player base from f2p launch to a year after it launched compared to today they have lost a *metric ton* of players who were keeping the game afloat as the ones who were shelling out lots of cash. Roughly though their business model and actions thus far dictate player retention is not a priority or a goal at all. So you will continue seeing further reductions as time goes on as whatever is left of the player base starts to diminish being they are building what they personally want over what paying customers are requesting.

I wonder where the posters claiming you 'don't know WTF you're talking about, STO has never been more popular and profitable' are ?

I will refer them to all my tier 5 starbase fleets that no one has been online for 6 months to 1.5 years now lol. That at one time were booming with activity and now you can't hear the targ take a TRIBBLE in the woods lol.
The only thing that's surprising is that anyone is surprised.
Haven't Cryptic Devs always been clear that they expect to produce more things for the Federation because that's what most players play? Because Star Trek lore is predominantly about the Federation?
Haven't they stopped promising parity while continuing to support the factions with new toys and similar features when they could?
Both Rom and KDF got T6 ships. As far as we know, just the two KDF and one Rom. There will be more down the road, though.
Delta Rising is by and large about retracing Voyager's journey in a sense. Of course, the Dauntless. They didn't run into too many Klingons out there in the Delta Quadrant. It's a theme. They didn't have to build any non-Federation playable ships to support that theme, but they did need them for expanded level progression and the new Intel specialization. So we got ships.
Please don't let this turn into yet another rant that we have to close.
Support the KDF by playing KDF and buying KDF ships and gear, however much of it they actually create. If the KDF is ever to get more stuff than the bare minimum, they're going to have to see the numbers.
"Build it and they will come" sounds great in a fortune cookie, not so much on a financial statement. Thing is, they did build it and few came. I get that people want them to build more anyway, but it's just not reasonable to expect that they're going to produce equal numbers of ships for each faction. Especially when they've clearly expressed that they're not.
To tell the truth, I'm not going to be terribly shocked if/when they release Adm. Janeway's alternate timeline shuttlecraft. And nobody else should be, either.
This, this and this again. PAY or dont... Cash talks KDF whining "Walks" but its more like a drunken stupor. This is an F2p game, money is the only motivation for action, you all know this. Also its a game, have fun or play something else.

It doesn't matter if only 1 Person in the whole game played KDF. They choose to make a Klingon faction and they should support it equal. In all my life I have never heard of a game that had 2 or 3 factions and 1 faction got all the attention. TBH the subject is Klingon but it should be KDF and Romulan. When ever the Feds get a ship there should be a somewhat equal in stats ship for every other faction. This is Racism in a Video game of all things. The one thing the Entire Cannon of Star trek tried to make awareness to. The Klingon and Romulan Factions are just as important as the Federation.
The points you made above do seem relivant if they were pointed at the subject of say a book or movie. In a game its player base should have the Option of picking the Faction they want to play without being punished for it.
FINALLY. Couldn't of said it better myself.
It's so clear that there is much money to be had in this faction if they devoted their time to it and actually listened for what people have been asking for years.
Still though, ever since I joined the KDF I have never looked back. It frustrates me that we don't get as much attention but it's not because of that I will abandon this faction, no matter what toys the other side gets.
We have improved but there's still a LOT that needs to be done and so many people that came here don't understand that :rolleyes: The quote above my reply pretty much sums up what I think.
