Are they making a full faction, or just a new species, or just space barbie parts?

All of these costumes are available for download here
That would seem the most logical way to go?
They just get less sober.
It'd nice to have the costume parts for all klingon faction, not be limited to only the subfaction.
And it would mean not having to make a new klingon to do it.
A new faction for Mokai or timedisplaced origin klingons would be cool, as itd mean a new UI and stuff. But it'd also mean new dialogue for all the storylines they went and got fancy voiceactors for.
Bring the Enterprise XCV-330 to STO
Nope, it wouldn't. See Jem'hadar (and if you don't understand what I mean, they simply get the same dialogue options as the faction they ally with).

Responding to your question in the OP: no, they definitely won't make a "full faction". What you might get, at most, is a "mini" faction which has a short (5 or less) mission intro before you join/ally with either Fed or KDF and then everything you play is exactly the same as everyone else.
For reference, here are a few general terms people use:
FULL faction = Fed and KDF (they have their own unique missions and remain their own unique factions)
MINI-faction = Rom (they have their own unique missions but then have to join either Fed or KDF)
FRaction (joke term, really a smaller min-faction) = TOS and Disco Fed and Jem'Hadar (they have even LESS unique missions than Roms and still have to join either Fed or KDF).

DSC klingons getting their own full faction is pretty much an impossibility, at best they'll get what the romulans get (unique tutorial and some unique/changed missions) though most likely if they're gonna even any kind of factions it's more or less identical to DSC fed aka unique tutorial and some missions that everyone can play that form the storyline as to how they "got here".
Haven't they pretty much said that they quit doing full new factions with romulans due to how hard it was to code and that's why we got the Romulan Republic as it is now.
Though honestly we'll probably get only the option in tailor, there really isn't a good way to have 23c klinks (be they DSC or TOS) join current KDF.
DSC FED and the dominion should be our point of reference when looking at new factions, meaning minimal unique content before joining either FED or KDF. There's no room for purple on the current code base just red and blue.
> Yes...I realize the chances are almost nil...but if it happens...expect an epic rage post from me is all I am saying.
Honestly if made that of all things a full faction you would not be only one raging and not due it being a dsc faction, but honestly they not different enough from base klinks to deserve a full faction.
Edit:I'd say the chances of it happening are so low as to a practical impossibility. As in the only reason to even consider it, is if you think the main goal of Cryptic is ruin your fun and getting profit is a bonus to them.
And with recent Picard, they should even more be targeted for decent upgerade.
Next year: Year of the Roms, I'd say?
Followed by a year of Dom?
They just get less sober.
Year of the Romulan I could see, especially since PIC seems to have introduced an entirely different interpretation of the Romulans from STO's version so it could introduce the PIC Romulans as a new subfaction coalescing from elements who do not wish to join the Republic to reconcile the two.
Year of the Dominion is not likely since there is practically no Dominion presence in the game at all to work with. All Jem'Hadar player characters and ships are part of Odo's offbeat private army, not regular units for instance, and there seems to be a grand total of maybe a half dozen administrators and diplomats representing the Dominion beyond Odo's oddballs.
In order to have anything to work with they would have to flesh out the skeletal framework of the current Jem'hadar-only faction into something at least minimally resembling the canon Dominion to open up more possibilities, and the devs seem more reluctant to add Vorta (or any of the other Gamma quadrant races for that matter) than they are to doing a T6 Nova/Rhode Island.
Also, by two years from now there will probably be something else new to provide a theme for the year instead now that Star Trek is live again.
Kind of like to see the story in the Dominion though...
They just get less sober.
I would like to see the Dominion fleshed out too (I have several faux-Vorta in the game in fact), I just don't think they will do it.
Besides their apparent reluctance to make official Vorta for other reasons, I suspect that expanding the single-race unlock into a workable demi-faction would entail considerably more work than adding a subfaction to the others would be because of the way the Jem'Hadar start at endgame. Chances are they would have to make a totally separate faction code-wise to accommodate the leveling Dominion races and tie the two together in a way that looks seamless, and that is not always easy.
Odo's expeditionary force really has little to do with the Dominion itself so it would not be a good vehicle for exploring Dominion issues.
Dominion should have at least gotten playable Vorta...the whole argument about Vorta not being combatants is thrown out the window when you have a thousands different admirals doing away missions. Plus we saw Weyoun pull a weapon on someone...
Just cause the Vorta have bad eye sight doesn't mean they suck at combat, this reference might not be star trek related but bad eye sight didn't stop daredevil from kicking TRIBBLE and add in the fact that Vortas have better hearing than most species, even they could be a formidable threat.
