Fun with the Feds
System

Hello, I'm new to this side of the game, but several of us had a blast in PvP. We are LtC level so we went to the resource area with the Borg. We'd cloak and fly around till we spotted some feds fighting the Borg. We would then come up behind them, uncloak and kill them, recloak and repeat. The chat coming from the fed side was not polite, but we got lots of laughs out of it. When they quit respawning we would cloak and finish mish then do it again. Lots of tears were shead on fed side that night, and lots of Bloodwine drank on klingon side. Anyone else have fun things to do to the feds?

That is a mission zone and they went there for PVE not PVP. I would have let them complete the mission as a klingon if they voiced any complaints. If I was a fed and the klinks were acting like this in what is a pve zone I would have attempted to find another open instance without you there.
There are a few areas of this game where PVP is not consentual and this is one of them. I try to keep in mind that if you enter a zone not marked as PVP as this game is alive today mostly as a result of PVE and in time I hope to have some feds to PVP with who actualy want to PVP.
So I'm glad you had fun, but to be honest it looks like it was at the expense of their fun.
/shrug
It is listed as a war zone. What happens in war....pvp!
They consented by going. They can leave. They do not have to do the misison if they don't want too. They have tons of other pve to explore.
But it still completes the quests even if you lose.
That zone is a PvE AND PvP free for all zone. I was working that area a while back, and even though the Feds and KDF have the same objectives, everyone is hostile to each other. I recall sticking to one area of the map with a friend of mine. We knew from the Zone chat that there were alot of Feds there, but figured it would take them a while to come to our neck of the map. Plus, we were horribly outnumbered
I swore up and down that from that moment on, I will return every now and then to kill hapless Feds doing that mission. PvE/PvP in that map is really a KDF skipper's dream, since the Borg will distract the prey. I have more freedom to prowl and strike at the worst possible time for them. Even better, this very environment is where the Bird of Prey's Battle Cloaking ability REALLY shines. Your PvP kills there still count towards those PvP quests (and your deaths too!).
Perks up ears. Wa? A free for all zone? How many can get in this area?
Well, maybe I should've refrained from using FFA as everyone against everyone. What I mean is that it's a PvE zone but the Feds and KDF are hostile to each other. Makes things interesting, especially for the Feds with the possibility of KDF ships skulking around while you battle the Borg. Despite this, both sides share the same mission objectives and their actions count to the same thing.
Not sure on numbers of players possible, but I've seen roughly 5 Feds, less than 10 at a time. KDF are usually smaller in numbers, if at all. The Feds seem to go for it more often but the mission is bugged.
I've jumped in my carrier a few times in that area and was set upon by just about everyone. Amusingly when i die often my explosion when i reappear takes out some suckers who are at the warp in point
IMO, for your Fed perspective, it'd be better if there were more of us KDF to... spice things up in such a way. TBH, very few KDF players attack you guys in that area in such a way. But when we do, it causes all kinds of problems, and the Feds who are focused on PvE at that moment alot of times don't realize what's going on until everyone starts blowing up :cool:
What level is it for, can't remember. Trying to level up my Klingon alt.
Good fun. I like to kill borg damaged feds while running around.
Having gone into that zone today and had 5 feds attempt to kill me off and on I had no issue killing them. I do however consider it a pve zone so if someone gets upset I leave them be. I prefer my um victims to be voluntary.. after that they can complain to me about whatever (and they have done often) but until that time I like to walk the other side of the line and let them finish their mission if they so choose to or race them to finish the thing the pve way.. and not touch them unless they touch me seeing as i'm OP.. blah blah blah..
It starts at lt commander actually
Currently there are only 2 -- one Fed vs Klingon and one Klingon vs Klingon (it seems to just put you on a random team).
According to their engineering notes they are opening more zones like this soon. In beta there was a ground combat version of Borg Hunt in the Ohta system in the neutral zone. I really enjoyed hunting the Feds down in there and am very much looking forward to it opening back up.
And yeah, it's a "war zone" situated in the neutral zone. You consent to PvP when you zone in there. I have no sympathy for complainers in there. A lot of times the Feds give up on doing the mission and just fight us, in fact.
Ideally you can ensure that the Klingons win the mission by having some people fight the Feds to distract them but since it doesn't matter who wins, there's not a lot of point to it (except personal entertainment).
When I roll in there in my KDF warship, I don't really care if the Feds get mad or not. I don't care if the overall mission against the Borg succeeds or fails. All I care about is killing Feds, which I have PvP quests that reward me for doing so. Plus, it's satisfying to hunt, prowl, and finally attacking my prey when it suits me best.
I did get some revenge though. Seen a couple of Federation ships firing on a Klingon ship, I went full impulse in targeted the klingon ship, hit the tractor beam and kept him there so he could "feel the love."
We need more " open areas" like this, IMHO. As I have said before I hate waiting to PvP. I do now right now though the Klingon side doesn't have alot of players. What is a good klingon missions to level up fast?
I'm working on a second klingon (was going to make a romulan but I decided to use the slow now..) and the pvp Q's can be very slow so to be honest get the nebula missions. The first one is kahless expanse and just sit in there and blow stuff up. The downside I guess is the pvp vendor gear is something you will miss. So join some pvp Q's and go into the expanse and do that repeatable mission. That is about the only way to level.
Once you get to admiral level you will have hot and cold running federation players and my first klingon took me a very short time to level due to the fact that the Q time was 0.
Thank you. I'll start leveling my Klingon up tomorrow. Only have him at Lt 7.
