Exploring the t'ong nebula is boring as all hell, and despite an estimated 20 wait time in the pvp que's ive been que'ed up for 2 hours and I'm still waiting.

I don't understand why there aren't some simple storyline episodes to make early gameplay memorable for being fun, not memorable for the amount of time i sit there doing nothing while i watch Monk.

    Yes, after a while exploration sector missions get extremely tedious. However, you can change things up a bit by grouping with other folks in the sector and bumping up the difficulty to Advanced or Elite. NPC kills rewards more skill points at higher difficulties, so you will level up faster and grouping increases the number of ships per encounter; at elite in a full group it's really good experience.

    Klingons were originally supposed to be a PvP faction only, kind of like a end-game activity for Fed players to mess around with. The problem is that they turned out to be way more popular than the devs planned for, so they've been adding content to the Klingon side since the game went live. Every season release has added new stuff, and season 3 is adding an entire sector block with repeatable missions you'll be able to do.

    Also, there are Klingon story arc missions available at various ranks; it's been so long since I got my Nausicaan to General that I've forgotten exactly when they become available, but I'm pretty sure it's at Commander rank for one and maybe captain for the other?

    Sometime after season 3 ships The Foundry player-made missions will be available to play. I have a feeling that's where a lot of the Klingon PvE content is going to come from.

    Once you get to level 10 you can start doing the weekly episodes and the daily missions that come with them. That'll be a good chunk of your skill points, so hang in there!

    The plan was to launch Klingons fully fleshed out just like the Federation. Due to the time constraints placed on Cryptic this was changed toward the end of testing to a pure pvp model. Since then Cryptic has been slowly adding things for the Klingons; the Ancient Enemies story line, a ship skin, some tailor options for a few of the Empires 'off' races, a new carrier.

    The plan, if you want to hunt down the various posts and interviews, is that the new weeklies and the upcoming ugc are going to be pretty much all of the Klinks pve options.

    Which, given a year, won't be so bad. In the meantime, leveling a Klingon sucks.

    Try doing the Devidian series and dailies - I'm up to Lt9 in 2 days from those - then at 10 you can go though the Deferi series and access those dailies. That will help with levelling a lot

    I just hit L/BG (Can't remember, Lvl 41), and its a curious feeling, but I'm currently feeling homicidal towards the ChoS nebula. Yes yes I've spent nearly all the last rank in that blasted place, and now I find, joy of Joys, I have to go back.

    I've never wanted to stab anything to death with am eat cleaver before. But at least it explains why Klingon's are so grumpy and argumentative in the series'.

    I imagine more and more will pop-up as new Klingon players discovered the vaccum of PvE content and I agree that any new pve content added at the low levels will be greatly enjoyed.
    Thanks to the Dev's though for the hard work and efforts that has given us what new areas and vessels we now have and are expected to get soon.

    Those are the WORST way to level...and slow.
    Do the dailies from the Breen and Devidian series, plus PvP and Exploration. Also, at 43 you get new missions in the Borg zone, plus B'Tran.

    Also, remember that at BG it is much easier to get Marks of Honor for purple shields than it will be when you hit LG.

    Leveling up a Klingon through PvE is almost exactly like leveling up a Fed through PvE. The only real difference is the lack of story missions for the Klingons (patrols count as story missions in my book).

    All the Klingons need are around 50-70 more story missions (especially the patrols, which are being worked on now) to nearly "equalize" the current PvE content disparity.

    Even with that "content gap" my Klingon easily took the least amount of time to level to max out of all of my characters.

    :)

    Leveling a Klingon is not fun at lower lvls. That's slowly being improved, but it still sucks. One quick way they could help with this is by making our existing content more interesting.

    For example, turning our Nebula patrols into DSE's that are open zones. DSE's go by way faster and are more interesting because there are people to do them with.

    Or giving us a Klingon version of the diplomacy ranking system to make the exploration system a little more interesting. (See my tag;))

    It's not going to happen over night sure, but it's never going to happen if we don't continue to ask for it.
