Deferi...the cowards

Personally, I think these Deferi are the most coward race in Star Trek Universe. They start to wet themselves as soon as they see a Breen nearby.
Their weaponry is quite sub par and can't make any dent on any of Breen ships. I sincerely hope Deferi ships will never be in lock boxes

Also, it'd be nice if they were added as a playable race for new Fed and KDF characters.
I agree with the OP. The Deferi are useless. In the most recent (and last?) FE the Borg are invading their space and their attitude is that they aren't sure they want to fight? They take indecisiveness to a new level.
I say respect the prime directive in regards to the Deferi and allow them to get assimilated and go extinct. Some species just aren't meant to survive.

You can make a perfect Deferi already with the Alien creator, but I know what you mean by faction. Some type of "Neutral" to the Fed/KDF war faction would be appealing to some players.
Failing that, a Deferi purchaseable Captain in the c-store would apeal to some, but it would be lackluster due to the fact you can already make a perfect one with the Alien creator. PLUS, the Deferi's philosophy towards balance would introduce a strange conudrum. What if there are more Def captains in Starfleet than the KDF? Wouldn't "Balance" dictate that excess Fed Defs resign and join the KDf to rebalance their inclusion in the Fed/KDF war?
It's best that they maintain their "Neutral" status and be included in a "Neutral" faction.
That being said, the Deferi Battleship is my vote for a ship from them.

Three years and still no Captain Klaa hair...
You play a game where the majority of players demand dreadnought warships, battlecarriers, miniguns, bombs, havoc and doombringer weapons for the united federation of planets

But that's what they want and that's what Cryptic will provide
I was just saying, don't waste your breath on something like that. This is Mirror Universe Online: Total War 40.000.

If they were ramming Breen ships in order to fend them off, and collapsing buildings on Borg encampments to hinder their progress, then I would respect them more.
But I'm saving them over, and over, and over again, to the point where I genuinely wonder if they would even try to defend themselves.
Not only does that go against their own philosophy, but their philosophy opens up all kinds of disturbing possibilities; If someone has atomic/biological/thalaron weapons, then wouldn't the balanced thing to do is get some of your own? If someone TRIBBLE a member of your family, shouldn't you go **** one of theirs? If you end up killing someone's kid in a construction accident, shouldn't they get to kill one of yours? The more you think about it, the creepier it gets.... :eek:
Even discounting all that, their design is kind of lazy. They don't look like there was much thought put into them. They're blue fish people with weird bits on their faces. They could have looked much cooler.
I'm with the OP. Not only are they terrible Allies with not much to offer to the table, it would cost a lot to help them out. Absolutely useless. Maybe if you strapped enough of them to your hull though.... :P:D
As Kirk said at one point in ST: "Another Belgium. Another weak, innocent group on the natural paths of invasion" (Or something along those lines). Deferi is part of that group, as being 'invaded' by the Breen (and the Borg).
The Deferi aren't really meant to be useful allies, by virtue of that quote. But it's still nice that in this galaxy, there's at least one race who isn't interested in war, even a little
And also, as far as Balance goes, the only aspects of it we've actively seen with the Deferi is Environment vs Expansion, and the galactic balance of power. There's no hints yet that they do those creepy possibilities centersolace...
Been playing STO since Open Beta, and have never regarded anything as worse than 'meh', if only due to personal standards.
Yes... but it wouldn't hurt for them to help themselves every so often. I'm not saying that the fact that they enjoy peace is bad, it's that they're little leeches who give TRIBBLE in return.
But there's nothing that says they don't either! :eek:
Perhaps a small buff is needed for their ships, with the explanation being Preserver tech in use. Make them better, but not do all the work for us. And on a more idealistic idea, possibly be introduced alongside a new bunch of Preserver-influenced tech, for use on both factions
True, very true... and until we get hints/confirmation either way, speculation will get us everywhere.

Well, that'd be like treason for us. So I highly doubt any imbalances, such as murder of a child, would willingly be done by any mentally-sane Deferi.
So I think most of those creepy possibilities aren't very likely. Possible, yes, but not likely.

"if I don't survive tell my wife hello"
Kidstuff! I want full Section 31 or Terran Empire status! They get S%&# done!
Well, apparently they offer SOMETHING, enough to make the Klingons obligated to help them. Just because that something isn't visibly apparent in-game, where everything is around stuff blowing up, doesn't mean it isn't there.
Those sneaky TRIBBLE! They're more conniving than the Undine! :eek:
They all need to use holds to win.
The Breen freeze you in place by venting their life support. Of course they don't realistically collapse from heat frustration at that point like they should, but continue to spam it like the Sub Nucs their cruisers spam because they can't face a functioning ship or a fair fight.
Klingons have to launch boarding shuttles as the "Great Warriors" couldn't stand a fair fight with an opponent that has all systems working. Let's not even mention the unrealistic Battle Cloak that allows a BoP that's been pounded down to no shields and very little hull to just disappear.
They should be making ships out of cloaking device bits instead of hull material as indestructible as they are.
The deferi refuse to fight, but at least they don't CHEAT.
And Star Fleet hides behind children...They bring children with them on starships, and say they are their strength, but what fools would bring kids with them in a warzone. If someone happens to take their children, and use them as hostages they act surprise....maybe they should not have been there in there first place.
I am aware they did that in Next Gen, but it doesn't appear to effect the gaming any.
Whereas you can't play and not get a hold put on you by PvE enemies.
"Let's put one phaser turret on every ship! That should be good enough. And something about balance."
That pretty much only held true for the long-range exploration cruisers, where folks weren't expected to return for years.
But the Feds have shifted back to Kirk-era for most of their ships - no children, more military.
You can make a perfect Klingon with the alien creator as well. And to get the hair I want, or to make a TOS Klingon, that is exactly what I do.

The Gorn don't. They just bite your head off and drop warp plasma in your face. Both very good tactics. :P
The Deferi don't have anything good going for 'em.
