as a matter of fact - we just had the kick-off for the 3rd Klingon specific episode today - and part of the mission required you to launch a sneak attack on the Utopia Plentia shipyards above Mars.

So yes - Klingon specific episodes starting in Season 2 will introduce a Klingon Faction specific story arc to the game.

Does this mean that we will get a full sized sol solar system?

    I doubt it. I'm guessing it will be just like any other quest that takes you to a system location with multiple options. You'll see one button for normal entry and one button for your specific mission.

    We're still gonna have to warp between planets with loading screens. I expect we'll only see Utopia Planitia and Jupiter Station in the beginning.

    The mission over mars will probably be instanced separately from the complete Sol System map (the latter replaces the current Sol space instance, I assume).

    It will like Bajor, on approach you will select which part of the system you want to go to. And to swap between the instances you will have to go via sector space. And most likely you will only be able to go to Mars if you have a mission there.

    I really hope we get the whole solar system soon.

    We need a better "enter-system" interface. Something similar to what I suggested for the transporters:

    So in this context you'd be given a pop-up of the starsystem's layout with a number of valid warp-in coordinates [justified as the closest position the ship can safely warp into the system].

    The only question I have about the full earth solar system is how much it will cost in the C store, or how many game sales I have to make to get it.
