Everybody knows, that the KDF faction is neglected ... for years.
But now we have a chance to do an awesome Klingon exclusive Event:
Klingon Temporal Agent of the Discovery Era
J'ula makes it possible!

aut vincere aut mori pro imperio
either to conquer or to die for the Empire
I disagree.
Each time I've created a new KDF character (4 Klingon, 3 Romulan, 3 Jem'Hadar) I've seen improvements to the KDF stories, some major some minor. First City was revamped. We keep getting new ships.
In a way KDF suffers from a downward spiral. Initially Cryptic didnt want to invest resources cause we were like less than 40% but as we got less and less attention(in everything) the population started going down and down and down to the point it is today and now they can even say "Lets go for unification, they are less than 15% of our players" for example to reduce the costs for making new content and ships. My guess is Cryptic, under PWE, was always in pressure for (financial) survival and therefore took sometimes fastest way to profit instead building a foundation for all factions. That said cant say Romulans or JH players should be happy either.
If you think the KDF is neglected today... you should have seen it years ago when you HAD to level a Fed to unlock KDF, and KDF started at around lv 20 with less content than Feds because I think KDF was set up more as a PvP faction vs the Fed PvE. They balanced it out over the years, unlocked KDF from the start...
Only complaint I have is First City is still a nightmare to navigate, at least to me.

It was
I had grinded a Fed captain to make my Klingon, but then again I didnt last lost back then and gravitated to other games. When they made it to full faction with an arc it felt promising and they will go on with it. The release of romulans further reinforced back then a hope that they will be seriously working on all and they did, for a while

By the way, unlike the OP I would rather them make content for all same time, even if that means we get arcs etc slower rather than just klingon exclusive - everyone should matter is what is right
Which I believe is the reason why we haven't gotten a rerun of the Temporal Recruit event. Because that one is exclusively Fed. Delta and Gamma were all inclusive.

But Gamma allies with Fed or KDF, which opens up Fed or KDF content.

Nothing to see here...long gone nonexistence faction that used to thrive in STO long ago.

it is perfectly understandable that the devs don't develop these two factions like the fed faction; the playerbase is fed after all. I would have personally liked more stuff for the kdf or rom faction, because i'm not a fed player and I don't like this faction ( a corny faction); but it is a dead dream. so, I use my imagination.
I just hope a little bit of love given to the uniforms (begun for the kdf), the rom uniforms for example are really crappy (clipping, hole etc). They should remove the restriction for the kdf characters, I mean the nausicaan armors useable by all the races in the kdf faction, they could add the lethean hood and more stuff already in game, but used only by the npc's. The talaxian clothes could be put in uniform too, i would like to use these clothes for my kdf boffs (zen wasted for nothing).
spacebarbie is the real endgame
If they could rework also Alexander's death, that would be awesome; currently it is just ridiculous (Worf's screams, lol, he looks like to a werewolf), and Alexander's animations are also ridiculous.
Unless it is organized by players or a fleet.
But then, would players even be interested? The onus being on collecting collecting collecting tokens during the "official" events these days... players would just as likely want a new tidbit Cryptic is rewarding with the current event or endeavor or reputation ... over playing fleet games.
Yes, I wish some odd ball bugs got taken cared of (that flight from Q'onos to the Fleet Starbase got me yesterday. I was chatting when I noticed the starbase flying by in the background... plus the transporter pad is still off the center mark).
To work within the bounds of what we have and find a way around what is broken. This is as it always was and destined to be with our faction, which is why most people gave up and pretend Starfleet is their gig, now.
And from the sounds of how things are changing and developing with the new Star Trek ...
I don't think we can expect much more than a nod to other factions existing.
And you know: WE KDF have a lot we can work with. Some others don't.

Still want the Nemesis uniforms too.
Problem is that the TOS arc is purely Fed. Having a TOS Klingon play those missions would make absolutely NO sense whatsoever.
While I do agree those Temporal Recruit rewards should be made available again... just opening it up to Fed and KDF like that won't work because the TOS arc is PURE Fed only. Why would a TOS era Klingon want to fight to save K-13, a Federation station? Why would a TOS era Klingon want to fight for the Federation at Caleb IV? And the same goes for TOS era Romulans too.

Rom would be harder than KDF - because that part of the story has already been written, if only from a purely fed pov - but it can be done.
Oh, but wait... that would require them to actually think of something that does not cater only to federation characters... yep, my bad.
Forget I said anything.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
You kinda blew up your own thread right outta the gate. Never try and speak for the community or tell people what we supposedly know and think, it never ends well.
I just thought this was funny because I too have an Orion flying a D7. It's the Discovery one, but still.. kinda funny.
This is what I would like as well.
I am against the idea of 'Klingon Only' content because I feel that taking time to develop this content takes away development time from projects that would be played by a larger portion of the player base (statistics show that there are significantly more fed players then KDF.)
That being the case though, as you said.. I would prefer that stories that were developed had KDF paths that actually differed from the Federation decision so that every character doesn't have to act like a Federation officer. Even if these were just minor diversions in the story and we all ended up at the same point (because they kinda have to) it would be nice if there were branches to the cross faction story that were different depending on faction.
A pipe dream.. I know, but I can hope right?
It doesn't have to be something gigantic or even exclusive to the faction, but it would be nice to have.
Like Surface Tension, where you have at least one line of dialogue you can choose that it's specific for your faction - should you wish to use it - with an equally specific answer.
Now, this solution may not be right for this particular case, but it can serve as a "starting point" for going a bit further.
Of course, as you said, the story would still end at the same point, but would allow us to see it from different angles really be THAT bad?

You can dream, but you'll have to wake up eventually.
And since they're not re-running the Temporal Agent recruitment until they find a way to include all the factions - as per their own words, said more than once already - they will need to create a full set of new episodes... or you will need to "wake up eventually", too.

Try imagine how neglected Romulans and Jem Hadar feel?
Enjoy! I think the KDF-exclusive story lines are very good if you are playing as a Klingon or with a Klingon mindset, instead of as a Nausicaan mercenary or Orion criminal, etc.
There are also a ton of good ships available.
People's complaints about KDF are mostly about not getting new content (other than ships) since new stories are set in the unified "alliance" and are shared by all factions. That and about little bugs not getting fixed.
