Since the ratio of PvP with Fed and Klinks is 1 to 10 there isn't much to do for Klinks, their race is a bit broken right now since its PvP centered... STILL (cause PvE klink content is limited a bit) So how can we make PvP more exciting?!? Well... there are a few things that we can do to fix PvP.
New Rules for the Queue?
1. Waiting for 5 or 6 Feds is impossible, let's face it, they just aren't going to show up, so lets shrink the Queue to 2 vs 2 and increase it progressively when there is another Fed Player enters in. Say we're in the middle of a 2 vs 2 battle but a Fed wants to join in, well, if there is a Klink waiting for that Queue then both players could enter the fray. If there isn't a Fed wanting to get in though, but there is a Klink waiting to get in, that Klink will still have to wait so as to not unbalance the battle.
2. OR we could do the WoW thing, but on a smaller scale, 1 vs 1, 2 vs 2, and 3 vs 3.
3. If there arn't enough Feds going in for the Que that day then there SHOULD NOT BE ANY FvK opening up for the Klink side. Why? because it seems thats all that Klinks sign up for.
4. Get rid of the, 'everyone needs to click engage!!!" When it's ready, send us in! Simple easy, and painless, if they selected a Que, then they wouldn't mind being sent in instantly. OR just start the darn PvP with the players that hit engage, provided one person on both sides hit engage.
5. Some have even suggested to make the PvP Que more simple, easy to use. Something like, if there is no one waiting in a Que then get rid of that Que automatically.
TO MAKE IT MORE EXCITING!?!
1. We need a new sector map where we can litterally capture territory, it's what we, the fans, really want. And if... say the Klinks capture all the territory than those that were in the fight get some rare items, or some ship EXCLUSIVE NON C-STORE SHIP COSTUMES, or visa versa.
2. Prizes: One of the main problems with PvP is there isn't much point to PLAY PvP, you get a shiny item that you could get for Exploration content... oooooh, yay... (btw, THAT WAS SARCASM)
- We could use a little incentive for the Fed side of things to WANT to PvP, the best way to do that is to make items, EXCLUSIVE NON C-STORE SHIP COSTUMES, which means these items will never ever ever never be sold in the C-Store EVER. Some other ideas could be, Exclusive Ship items, or even a key to new sectors (like you make some PvE sector maps that won't be opened up unless you get enough PvP points to play through those new sectors.) New Exclusive Ship Interiors that you won't get unless you play some PvP. Maybe some Ship interior decoration items for the new UGC that's coming up? Okay, maybe some of these ideas are a little far fetched, but my point is, these items have got to be something special to make players WANT to PvP.
- Mass PvP: It could be a little more exciting, but with less choices. Like have something called Mass PvP, and have it once a month. It could be a co-op pvp mission where the Borg or the Undine invade in mass waves, and the only way to stop them is with some cooperation from the Fed and Klingons joining together to fight them back. It could be timed too, to ensure that both sides Co-op, like, it needs to be done within an hour or it's a fail. You could make the enemy's you fight ultra hard, and you can only enter these Mass PvP events on Hard, thus adding another round of difficultly and forcing Co-op. Plus, the only way to beat this should be with a max of 40 players, 20 on Fed side and 20 on Klink side per server. Those that do these Mass PvP events get some great rewards.
* To the Devs: We know you have little or no control over C-Store items, but if PvP is this bad, you could always try to convince them that it's in their best interests financially to do something like this. Not too many MMO's have survived without a good PvP player base, and right now it stinks bad.
So... are these any good ideas? You guys got any of your own? post them here!

Of course, Cryptic would never do that and would cause a fuss. But it would no doubt get a lot of people to play Klingons, I promise that.
