In my opinion there should be an additional character progression path for Klingons as well, similar to the diplomacy expirience implemeted for the Federation faction.
Perhaps something like a glory rating, which can be increased by fighting randomly generated NPC captains acting as challengers in randomly generated space and ground missions provided by an NPC acting as a challenge broker. Fighting Klingon NPCs would also provide a possibility to accomplish accolades requiring defeating of Klingon Empire members.
This system could even be extended to include challenges to federation captains coming from Klingon NPCs, but in this case diplomacy expirience for Klingons should be implemented as well (diplomacy is not unknown to Klingons, since they at least have ambassadors).
I like it. Get Glory XP by killing bosses. There should be some stipulation though that the bosses can't be more than 1 level below your current level or something. There is nothing glorious about defeating a weak enemy.

We need a glory bar for klingon weddings. Once the bar is full, you get to choose your parmachkai, perform a dozen rituals and then have a nice bachelor party of wich at the end you get killed by your friends. Then your second glory bar will be full and you get on the barge of the dead where you meet your friends who have just been killed by your Parmachkai. The rest of the way to stovokor you sing of glory and what it got you

Sounds interesting. Upon your arrival in Stovokor you are cloned by monks of Boreth and are back in game.
This sounds like an excellent idea. Can even mix in elements of how diplomacy missions work (the text-puzzle solving) for some missions, not unlike those sequences in TNG with Worf/Picard in a showdown with the Klingon High Council and Chancellor. State your case (honourably), and maybe depending on the context have to defend your honour against a council member with your bat'leth.
EDIT: Become glorious enough, you get equivalent "honourable favour" voting rights (similar to DS9 ambassadors), immediate-response-deployment (transwarp) to various starbases, and even a Ptach lap dog (I mean, Federation exchange officer)
I would like to see a KDF equivalent to the FDC too. Though I'd like to see one based off of a theme a little more neutral between the factions that make up the KDF.
My Orion and Nausicaan toons have little concern for glory.:p
I'm sorry that's true but because every act of a klingon involves honor as reward, it's actually measurable, if you look at it that way. Glory is just a colorfull description.

What do you think about this?
This would be good to meet the challenge of rival houses and bring glory to the empire!
I'm inclined to suggest that in place of a Fed BO (or even a Fed ship), it should be a level scaling item set you get piece by piece at each rank and each piece should be stolen Federation technology you can cobble onto your ships.
For example, a set of harvested Federation nacelles (with some extra rugged bits of gear hanging off to show how it's cobbled on). Each item is level independent and reduces your transwarp cooldown by a % (Klingons need faster transwarp back home rather than transwarps to more locations, I think).
At the max rank, maybe you get a baldric covered in trophy Federation combadges of varying types and a Fek'Ihri BO that word of your fearsome legend has subdued into service.
I think there are some cross-faction BOs I could see being available to Klingons (ie. a Bajoran mercenary, etc.) But I tend to think perfect symmetry shouldn't be a goal with faction design and any cross-faction mercenaries should probably be a latinum reward rather than shoe-horned into something other than diplomacy, if it isn't actually diplomacy.
In terms of mercenary BOs, I'd probably have them wear off-duty uniforms as their defeault costume and go for something like:
The pool of mercenaries would include a balance of races who are traditionally from different factions this way. For races like Orion and Nausicaan, they'd get a choice between your faction's uniforms and their racial gear. For other races, they'dprobably be wearing the Mercenary C-Store set and have the option to wear your faction's uniform.
I like the original idea being proposed, getting honour and then becoming the KDF rep, sounds good, what would be good is that you are given the position by the Chancellor himself and a special reward you could attempt to take over the Empire by challenging J'Empok to a duel (a joke)

There is nothing more glorious than victory!
lol nice touch, I guess we have a solid storyline there
I saw that episode again the day before yesterday actually

Please add Klingon rituals for roleplaying KDFers to participate in, that should give the 'feel' of walking the glorious path of klingon warrior.

i think it should be about symetrical suffering:
fed pvp focused players need to grind pve for diplo stuff.
so klink pve'ers (who want such stuff the most) should suffer by being forced to WIN pvp matches.
When you win a match, you get a bit of glory. when you win leading the herd, you get a bit more...
Not bad. Your siggy person looks like a skeptical beaker.

In terms of mercenary BOs, I'd probably have them wear off-duty uniforms as their defeault costume and go for something like:
- Bajoran, Ferengi, Trill (Fed-based species)
- Klingon, Nausicaan, Orion (KDF-based species)
- Reman, Breen, Jem'Hadar (Non-playable species)
