    Can we put a sign out " No Feds Allowed"? Which would make he United Federation of nosy, gossipy, meddlesome do-gooders stick their noses in, and thats when I can show all the new warriors that the best way to welcome a Fed is with Dual Disruptor Fire. We can even make a game of it. First one to 50 gets a barrel of bloodwine. Oh and for the record, I'm already at 11. All is fair in love and war.

    I'm actually kinda hoping to get some people in who normally play fed side..

    if we can get them on, and help them, and they enjoy themselves, they're more likely to want to play that alt more.. a nice social chatty fleet running events, a whole channel dedicated to answering questions and queries etc.. trying to bring up the population of Qo'nos and help it stay up.

    strength in numbers and all that

    I also doubt the newly announced ships will be in the KDF Lt ranges too, so if we can get people interested and leveling KDF alts (or mains) they're more likely to be able to grab these new ships as they arrive..

    of course, once they're playing KDF, they're free to shoot the federation as much as they want *obviously where the game allows it* and in fact yes, thats quite encouraged :p

    I promise I won't shoot any converted Fed players, I may stab them a few though.

    thats the spirit!

    I've stated in the other thread i'll be about most of friday evening GMT and a good 12 hours GMT on the saturday, letting people know about the channel and doing what i can to help get people started on the KDF side.

    I also have something in mind for next weekend too.

    I've put out a thread regarding my plans for the following weekend.

    i'm calling it "A Cold day in Gre'Thor"

    hoping that by giving something for the (hopefully plenty of) new KDF recruits this weekend may bring to look forward to for the following week will encourage them to spend a little more time, and a little more effort, in playing their KDF alt. and earn some ok loot in the process!

    (all five rewards back to back, plus the end of series 1 special reward too.. )

    might even grab a few of the dailies if we can get through these quickly enough!

    might need to draft a US player who can carry on the event once it gets too late in the GMT for me as well, if anyone's interested?

    You'll unlock the ability to make a Klingon character when you get to level 6, or when you finish the mission "Stop the Signal," whichever comes first. You'll also unlock one additional character slot.

    ok folks, next weeks event is shaping up as follows

    I'll be organising teams based on having a vet to lead, with at least one character who can share the whole weekly mission chain, so may require a new character or one who's not done the weeklies yet.

    sign up for this event and information is in this thread so i can keep an easy tab on it please..

    i'll be organising it as follows.

    each team will be asked to assemble in the Orelius Sector by no later than 10:45am PDT (6:45pm GMT) for a prompt start at 11am PDT (7pm GMT) if you're not in the sector by then teams may need to be re-organised and shuffled to allow those who are there to play the missions.

    PLEASE SIGN UP IN THE LINKED THREAD OR VIA PM TO MYSELF GIVING THE FOLLOWING
    - charactername@handle
    - request for new team if vet (and enough people available)
    - if all weekly missions can be shared or will require them to be shared
    - preferred difficulty setting

    I WILL THEN ORGANISE TEAM AS BEST I CAN ON THAT INFORMATION AND POST THE ROSTER IN THE LINKED THREAD.

    looking forward to seeing people on the day :) and dont forget to sign up to the KDFassistance channel as well, i should be about on that most of the week in GMT evening time to answer questions regarding this as well.

    I missed the events thus far, due to roller derby commitments. I believe this Saturday I am free.

    So ya'll wouldn't mind mind if I brought my 4-Fed and 1-KDF captains over, right? This sounds interesting.

    Mark me down for the 26th's event. I'm all for it, depending on the time.

    The "Justification" event and the following actions taken by players such as yourself (setting up the KDFassistance channel for example), have definitely made me want to play my Klingon alt a lot more often (not to mention the fact that Star Cluster anomaly farming on the Fed side is still broken).

    I'm curious to know if you have noticed an increase in KDF activity?

    Cheers,

    The KDF weekend thing has been a great help for the Canadian Federation. We typically host our Weekly PvP on Saturday nights, so we are on leveling, and doing PvP at that time. I think it's great that the community organized this, and believe it has helped the KDF a bunch. Keep it up!

    This weekend thing was a good idea to get some of my fleeties, and those we have been recruiting for the KDF side get into leveling their players. I hope this is something we can keep going on a normal, regular basis so that we can be considered a force to be reckoned with by the other side...lol. Instead of KDF??What KDF???? We actually get the fear struck into the hearts of fed players...lol.

    Right now, as I am typing this, I have assisted 4 people into becoming BG5 or higher in my fleet, and many many more are rising through the ranks of captain. I just hope they don't lose interest because Cryptic has nothing to add, or nothing for us to do.....But then again, the people we have been adding are crazy mad about STF's...lol.

    Apologies for vanishing abruptly at the end of September.. after some time off work I was informed of the possibility of redundancies being made at my job so have been working every hour possible hoping it wasnt going to be me.

    Sadly today i was told it was.. so as a lifer i've now got plenty of time to level up KDF characters and organise things for this!

    Will look into getting something organised for a KDF weekend again soon!
