Please consider allowing Klingons to enter Bat'leth only challenges in the ring on Q'onos. It can either be against NPCs or with other players. Thank you
+1 above. Both my KDF Fleet and Fed Fleet participate in a Quarterly Bat'leth Tournament as well as a hand-to-hand tournament. We need a place where both side can met in peace, have adaquate sitting for viewing, and sort of Single/Double elimination bracket for those who participate. We current use private PVP match and met up in the Deserted Facility. However, after each round, we have to re-start to form winners/losers brackets. The PvP match grounds on Andoria no longer work and won't allow Klingons. These are some of the best times both my fleets have had in STO. Qapla'

This has been suggested many times before, often in a very elaborate suggestion threads. Mostly the talk was about utilizing Forcas III as the main arena for these events (because it has a solid bat'tleth tournament map if you remember one of the early Klingon episodes) that would happen quarterly for the KDF faction, with a leader-board and the winner would get some symbolic rewards and a special accolade/title to use in game.
I wouldn't be opposed to this being enabled to happen in the ring in First City on Qo'noS as well, or maybe even better - leave the ring on Qo'noS as an immediate PvP bat'leth battle ground like the OP here suggested.
Sadly, the last thing I heard from Cryptic on this topic is that they will never allow PvP bat'leth duels on Forcas III nor PvP ushaan duels on Andoria because they didn't want players fighting between each other for some weird and bizarre reason they didn't specify then. Actually, when I look at the state of the PvP and what they've done to it - the previously mentioned statement begins to make a lot of sense.
I would be up for PVE batleth duels against increasingly OP elite NPC opponents!
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

lolwut indeed.
Though, when you take a look at PvP in STO nowadays it all kinda' falls together, doesn't it? Makes perfect sense.
