I've already got a Human Engineer, a Joined Trill Science Officer, and a Liberated Borg Tactical Officer, but I think Worfin' it sounds most appealing to me.
Not really interested in KDF or Romulan Republic. Have alts there too, but far, far more Federation C-Store ships and a Defiant-like build for a T5-U Blockade Runner in mind after I unlock some starship traits.
Jack Harkness, a freelance toon Ive been wanting to create for a while (rp freindly!) he'd be fed eng but not Starfleet (he remains the leader of the Torchwood Archive), he'd fly a Hazari Destroyer (cause it's sleek and black) and call it the T.A.D. (Torchwood Archive Destroyer) Rose Tyler. This guy will be lots of fun!!:cool::cool:

I haven't nailed down which faction or race I'll be using for my delta recruit. I had enough lobi kicking around that I picked up a temporal jumpsuit for the new character because I would like the character conception to homage Daniels and Enterprise. I will probably keep it simple and choose a human (Daniel's described himself as, "mostly human" so an alien might be an appropriate choice as well). Sad as it is this character will be aligned with the Feds. This isn't a throw away character so I'm looking at a big picture where the support and ships will be coming down the pipes in game. That's the Federation. I'd be happy to make more KDF characters to add to my existing ones if Cryptic will release some solid KDF content but I don't see it happening. I don't like Romulans enough to make any more.
The idea of running around as a "Delta Recruit" who's actually one of the latest "Baddy" races amuses me, and that'll help hold my interest through this event. I've been playing with the character creator and have a pretty good rendition of the head, although the neck is problematic. Luckily, I've already picked up the Vaadwaur costume, and the helmet will cover all the flaws. I've also picked up one of the Vaadwaur escorts to give her (yes, it'll be a her, I think...) but what to fly until she can use it...?
That actually brings up the question I have not answered yet: Fed, KDF, or Rom? I really dislike First City, so I think if I go KDF, it'll have to be a Rom/KDF, but either way, I own several Fed CStore ships and none for KDF or Rom, aside from a couple that were given away and the LTS ships, but since I plan on flying that escort anyways... ?!? What to do, what to do? I'm kind of leaning towards Rom/KDF, mostly because most of my toons are Fed, except for a KDF/Orion and a Rom/Fed, and want some variety.
As to profession, the 2 toons I play the most are Eng's. I really like the toys on the ground and the survivability in space. Do I stick with that, or do I compound my expanding horizons on this toon and go completely off script. Thing is, the more things I do differently, the more chances there are I'll turn this into a toon I won't enjoy. Then again, staying safe and making my "comfortable" Fed/Eng toon doesn't feel very... Vaadwaurish.

There may be MORE federation ships, but 85% of them are totally useless. We may not have as many ship types in the Klingon Defense force, but ours are better. The reason Craptastic gives the fed commies so much is the brainless jump right into fed characters without considering the actual greatness of the Klingons.

One, I'm not going to take that brainless comment personally but it's a crappy thing to say over what amounts to free time preference.
Two, I only like two KDF starships though. The B'rel and the D-7s.
And while 85% of the Federation vessels may be of dubious design/value, the other 15% are pretty awesome. (Assault Cruiser, Vesta, Avenger, Tempest, Blockade Runner, Phantom, Eclipse, and the new T-6 Command battlecruisers just to name a few which I already own.)
I like several individual Klingons and their traditions, (Word, Martok, Kor to name a few.). But like Ezri Dax, I think the Empire is horribly corrupt and should die.
I been toying around with what i want to play with and I'm probably going to roll a romulan/fed but not sure if i want to have a liberated borg or not. I want to align with fed cause i have a ton of fed ships im going to strip mine the special consoles off them while i level.
I have 1 FED Tac, 1 FED Eng and 2x FED Sci, 1 KDF Tac, 1 KDF Eng and 1 KDF Sci, 1 Rom Sci and 1 Rom Eng which I want to delete but can't since that character carries a giantic load of items in the inventory and mail system which is worth too much.
None of my Chars is beyond rank 52 since I have not found time to play. 1 FED Sci is even below rank 50. I created that char to make a PvP Sci but I had not time to grind. The other 3 FED Chars are more or less trash chars which I created during or after Beta. I did not play for gear or perfection.
My Klingon chars are more for PvP but I lack on gear and time to grind it.
With the exceptions to my FED and KDF Engis. They are PvP worthy .... at least when the STF Sets were regarded as best (MACO and Honor Guard stuff - except of Borg Weapons but they were enough).
My romulan Sci will probably be converted to a Sci-Tac mix after I realized the -40 Power penalty and lack of nice Sci ships ^^
I have no reason and no idea for creating a new character, but I guess I want that boni so I have to make a new one. I plan to delete him or lay him aside after the event is over.
Maybe I should create another KDF or Romulan Character to boost the KDF playerbase .... but I am not the biggest fan of the klingon content.

Vaadwaurish.
So, I've been playing around a bit. The part of my plan that I didn't mention is that I plan on crafting all thegear for this toon and supplying Superior Tech Upgrades and some Dil to use them with. This in itself has been a process. One aspect of all this setup ahead of time is that all that stuff takes up a LOT of inventory space. I decided to make a toon, just to hold onto all the extra junk. While I was at it, I decided I could move all the "reject" gear onto this new toon and sell it on the exchange. 40 slots on the exchange isn't a lot of space if you are crafting piece after piece, trying to get the right mods, after all...
So, I set up my KDF/Rom Alien and got ready to pull all the gear off my account bank, stow what I'm keeping and sell the rest. Oops... apparently, the exchange (at least the one in the Flotilla) is stuck behind Level 10. So, I set off leveling my little mule toon...
I really like it! I think, as long as they don't completely TRIBBLE up the whole Delta Recruit thing, I'm really going to enjoy playing with the new toon I have planned.
I might not even hate Tovan Khev.:eek:
"Logic is a little tweeting bird chirping in a meadow. Logic is a wreath of pretty flowers which smell BAD." - Spock
What race/career have I chosen for Delta Recruit? Oh, heck, I dunno. I've been playing so long that at one point, prior to Legacy of Romulus, I had over 20 characters and deleted a quarter of them to try and trim things down... When LoR launched I created three new ones so that now I have 16 characters, in such variety that I have at least one of each career in each faction, and a couple more besides.
Looking at my character speadsheet (yes, I keep a file to track them), I have the fewest Romulan Republic characters, and all three of them are really sort of "theme" characters, that are married to T5 ships (for example I have a Tal Shiar-themed character who's crew wear TNG-era checker-board uniforms and fly a D'deridex).
That's a Tac Romulan, KDF Aligned. Then I have two Fed aligned: LibBorgRom Sci in a Adapted Khnial class and Reman Eng in a Scimitar. All three ships are retrofitted, fleet, T5U upgraded, best possible for their types, but that's it. And I really don't want to break their themes for a T6 ship.
So, I suppose I'll go with the Green Faction. Make it KDF-aligned. Romulan or Reman? Hmm... Not sure, I wish there were more races to chose from. I guess I'll probably go Alien, since that's the fourth option I don't have for Roms. Min-Maxing tells me I should roll a tac, but I'd hate to do another Tac; I've got lots of those. So maybe an Eng? That's what I have fewest of overall.
I dunno... My hearts just not in it... I'll have to think about it.
:rolleyes:
You can find/contact me in game as @PatricianVetinari. Playing STO since Feb 2010.
I know one of the characters I will make will be tactical Romulan (maybe Romulan alien) aligned with the KDF, since I have one already aligned with FED. I am still undecided with the other one. Main reason I'm doing this is because I can use the Faeht Intel warbird with him or her.
I'm deleting one of my longest existing characters so I can have 2 characters for the event. I don't know what race I'll have for the second character.
Going Alien / Eng ... not sure on faction yet but leaning towards either ROM/KDF or pure KDF.
Of course, I'm secretly hoping they might open up races from the opposite faction or new races for the event. THAT would be cool and then all bets would be off.
Part of what's going into my decision is if I think they are more likely to introduce more KDF ships going forward or more Romulan. (We already know there will be a gazillion FED ships.)
I will do a joined trill for the nice toxic and radiation resistance.
It will be a federation side so I get the ship traits from all the T6 ships I got in last expansion (Klingon and Romulans really got shafted in that expansion ).
It will be an engineer since I love play engineers, even if tactical is faster to play though content.
If there is any new optional races that might change my choice of race, if it is a nice looking race with good bonuses. :P

i would need to know more details before i commit on stating what i would intend to do. for all i know cryptic may release the locks on one time only races like the jem'hadar or cardassians or even hirogen for all i know. so yeah, i need more information first before i decide what to choose.

That's a sticky point you raise and I'm curious about it myself. While others have answered your basic question, "are they going to provide the playerbase with a FREE character slot for this?", the main point to your question remains.
Are players who have maxed out the number of character slots currently available going to get a free slot on top of the ones they already have?
I think that the answer would be yes, either by a one time exemption to the current limit, or that Cryptic may raise the limit with this event. They've raised the base number of ship slots we can have recently as well as increasing the base number of BOff slots and even inventory slots. So raising the amount of character slots seems like something they can do.
It's just a matter of *if* they will.
