Klingon PvE idea

I'd mentioned this in some other post awhile back, but with the upcomming talk of Fed diplomacy, I have an idea or two for Klingon (and possibly future Romulan PvE content.)

Klingons and Romulans are factional. How about a line of repeatable PvE quests for house faction.

As a klingon, join one of the major houses that vie for control of the empire, The duras family for example. As a member of that faction, you can get repeatable PvP and PvE quests that will build your reputation with the family you join. Make it several tiers like in the Diplomatic Corp. where you get certain perks like store discounts, or unique items that can be bought, or unique uniform choices. Have it reset on a monthly basis so different families can gain prominance. Each family could have slightly different perks to make it useful to join different ones and since klingon and romulan loyalties are fluid, make it so you can change factions, just reset them to 0.
There are several MMO's where this has worked well in.

part of the new PvE cluster missions for Klingons can still be 1st contact. But with the klingons it can be conquest. Make Klingons have to take over key areas of the planet or city, to subjugate the inhabitants. The more planets a klingon subjugates, the higher their Rep with the family they join. Also as seen in several of the shows, Klingons are always on the hunt for resources for the Empire. Cluster missions can include taking or cheating Lesser developed races out of their natural resources. Or just having the rare non-combat mission resource search, klingons are war-like, but they do strip mine uninhabited systems.

Another kind of diplomatic style mission klingons can do, is to hunt for fugitives, and/or quell rebellions those would also be great cluster missions. Most of these quests should be relatively easy to implement. The only ones that require a significant amount of change would be the adding of factions. Though I think with the addition of the federation diplomatic corp, it could be modified to fit a klingon family faction fairly easily.

these are just a few of my ideas, but I think a good bit of klingon(and future romulan) PvE content could be built from this. I hope this gives you guys some ideas.

    Not bad ideas, I posted some additional ideas for PvE and RP a week or so ago in the Gameplay forums (not the best place for it in hindsight but w/e). Check it out here: Forum Thread

    I support reworking everything beyond Sirius to be faction neutral. Same missions, different text.

    It will make adding factions easier and you can focus on distinguishing factions with flavor text, cosmetics and a few mechanical differences, which means they could go so far as to add one faction a season with a dedicated content writer working on it.

    that would be cool. ooo maybe do some racial quests too. different options depending on what species you are, Klingon, Gorn, Orion Nausican.. can have different outcomes depending..

    Rename federation to klingon. Paint everything red. Now everything makes 200% more sense and we can scrap diplomacy for them.

    Schedule the federation for next year release.
