We Need an 18% Badge

I was complaining about the 18% STO likes to throw at the KDF faction in one of the postings and Roach replied telling me we should own it thereby eliminating its derogatory description of us faithful KDF players. I thought this was a great idea! I'd like to see this taken a step further and have Cryptic create an 18%'er badge for our Klingon characters to wear. The 18% remark reminds me of the1% the AMA used to describe the outlaw biker community. Rather than take offense the bikers adopted the 1% as there own and had a 1% patch made to put on their jackets. I think it would be cool if KDF could have an 18% patch to designate us who stuck it out through limited gameplay and content. Some criteria needs to be applied though.
A player at least needs to be subscribed for 200 days or more to receive the badge.
This would be a one time reward for those who stuck it out through the hard times, those that come later when there is plenty of content don't deserve the 18% patch since they didn't have to chew the same dirt that was served to us. And this would be a KDF faction only badge, the Feds don't deserve it since they have enjoyed lots of content from the start.
Creating little things like this for the KDF players goes a long way in mending bad feelings cryptic has caused for the KDF players.

I second this motion. 18%
Also for those players with only KDF toons there needs to be a "Loyal" Perk and badge.
I worry though that based on prior experience, Cryptic is more likely to come out with an 82% badge for the Feds for their efforts in ensuring that all the pips on their uniforms are just the right colour.
We will stick with 18% since it was the number most used to derogatorily describe the Klingon player base.
or 5%...
or after Dev Blog #17 it may BE 1%
12 pages and counting there.. think he hit a raw nerve.. I do..
I think they forgot that the KDF is do a revival after F2P releases to become better gameplay for us fans and that scares me.
For those players there needs to be a "Dumbass" badge.
Deliberately avoiding the vast majority of the game is down right stupid.
Not sure how stating that only 18% of the playerbase plays klingon is derogatory. It was a statement of a number in reply to a question. If I asked what the answer was to 2 +2, would 4 then be derogatory?
If you want the badge, great. I'll support it.
You can use it to accessorize the chip on your shoulder.
Meaning that many KDF fans are leaving again like many PvP'ers and even some Fed fans over variuos issues.
or the 1% that refers to this.
They have faced the challenges and proven their worth by sticking with it.
Thanks, one more cultural reference I can now understand.:)
3 VA1s - 1 Tact - 1 Sci - 1 Engineer
8 LTGs - 3 Tact - 3 Sci - 2 Engineer
I'll delete my Feds, after we can Buy C-Pts with their dilithium so I can drain them all for all they're worth.

Been there, done the Remove your respirator and breathe deeply CS experience as well for my Uncle Sam.
I would prefer boiling oil or water poured from the top of the gates, but then again I'm a traditionalist.
Yet when you take into account of defections to the KDF for varied reasons this makes the percentage jump higher in blurps if you will....so on average you come out with 21.2%
then when you take into account (just to be fair) all of the current toons that usually roll feds but dedicate time to their KDF alts......then that statistic generates 53% of the KDF population based solely on existence of KDF members in STO purgatory for varied reasons of inaction on the part of Cryptic with a annual percentage margin of error of about 3.6%-11.9%.
Given the gap for margin of error one can conclude that the 18% base is actually 22% conservativly.
Thus making your desired patch number 32.00187%
Given the response of cryptic in the past for such noble actions to a dedicated player base for the KDF, I'd say your chances of this occuring on any level is about 50/50...but then there is only a 11% chance of that.
Ok....does that make sense? NO? ok...hold on I'll explain it in simpler terms (peels back safety plastic on tube of model airplane glue)
Hmmm ..... Hero of the Empire ... or pirate.
Maybe and likely both.
60% of the time its works 100%? or that it burns the eyes and the nostrils? Smells like gasoline? its Pungent?
Though I would not be surprised if the KDF numbers are lower as many have just left during the 2+ year dry conditions of the faction.
In fact, all the Empire really needs to do now is get rid of Jm'pok and we're well on the way to greatness.
Proud 18%'er. Period.
What I am hoping is that F2P actually benefits us and brings more KDF players back into the game ... both returning and new.
Although, we might need to draw the line at the "Sith Lord" wannabes,
I'm have friends I want to try and persuade to join the fight, but will hold off until we actually get F2P live and are close to at least the featured episode. (More so friends who went dark during the drought.)
