Greeting from the dirty, warnog stained tables of the Gates of Sto'Vo'Kor!
We warriors here at the bar have a golden opportunity to interview the EP himself, Dan Stahl this upcomming Thursday, June 13th about all things KDF factionwise.
Got questions about why Worfs son dies in the tutorial?
Want to know if more Jackal Masstiffs are inbound?
Curiuos about the future of the BoP?
Want to see the Garumba as a fleet ship?
Any and all questions are welcome, so if you have a burning thirst know more about the KDF or just want to feed your curiousity post your questions below and we will toss them at Dan in our interview.
1. Can we have a fleet Guramba and could it get the additional (5-th) tactical console so the KDF can compete with all the new Fed. & Rom escorts/escort hybrids?
2. The new KDF content that was made for LoR is epic! Can we expect at least a couple of faction specific missions like these with every following update? I would love to see more of the work by the team that made these awesome new missions!
3. Are any new Tier 5 KDF C-Store ships comming to us and if so, how far down the line?
4. Can more background music be added throughout the game and possibly be faction specific?
5. KDF Marauding Boff - when will it be fixed so our Boffs can be customized?
6. The Corsair and similar bugs - when will they be fixed so the fleet version does not require to purchase the C-Store one just to customize the ship?
7. Nimbus III - loving the idea to have the Dabo table there! Now can we get access to bank/mail/exchange services and ship selector like the one on Drozana? This would make the social zone more usefull and make a great "main hub" for people on the red side that want to RP as Orion or Nausicaan pirate as the background fits perfectly!
8. Nimbus III again - are there any plans to add more dailies and things to do in the future?
9. KDF outfits, we really need some more. Any plans for adding more KDF outfits in the C-Store in the near future?
10. Blood of the Empire, the old Qo'noS map - when is it going to be fixed so the floor does not go missing in the Hall of Warriors? Also, is it possible for the old Qo'noS map to be re-used for another KDF social zone, like Ty'Gokor for ex.?
11. Do you think that the KDF could get changes to certain kits, so for ex. we can summon War Targs and similar instead of drones?
12. KDF bridges, the race specific ones - can we get at least one new set added to the C-Store that will consist of 1 Nausicaan, 1 Gorn and 1 Orion bridge for the players that use ships that are not Klingon in design?
1.)
There are some long-standing problems with the K't'inga model in all its incarnations.
The high-quality model with lightmaps and all the ship's wonderful detail is only visible from a great distance while the ship the player flies uses the low-resultion model.
Do you intend to ever change that?
2.)
While the Klingons are not exactly peaceful explorers we know they tend to do surveys and expeditions into unexplored space to find new resources and new worlds to plant their flag on. Are there plans for a science-ship that fits such a task, like the IKS Gorkon from the novel series or something similar?
3.)
Speaking of science-oriented ships:
The Raptor as it originally appeared on "Enterprise" was a ship that operated far away from Klingon space as scoutship to rather intelligence on other races (and annoy them at times).
My thread on the subject got a lot of interest with over 1,200 viewers, indicating there's a market for a scout Raptor. I understand it's important to only make material that actually sells. http://sto-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?t=429791
Is there room in the KDF roster for a military intelligence ship?
They need to keep their borders safe and gain knowledge about their enemies after all.
4.)
The K'vort battlecruiser is a long-requested starship that has appeared in both TNG and DS9 and is referenced in "The Path to 2409". Will we get a chance to fly one in STO?
Can we have an ETA on the K'Vort? I for one would love one with the same stats as the Chel Grett (lose the console, gain the cloak) but however it comes, I will part with CASH MONEY
Greatcoats. Can we have them, please?
More hairstyles... Klingons have dreads, dreads and more dreads (unless you managed to unlock "The Worf", like "The Rachel" but less desirable). Please can we have Worf's warrior braid (queue?), or at least some other options?
Off-Duty clothing for Klingons. I LOVE the red outfits worn by Worf and Jadzia at their wedding, okay this is special occasion dress but similar options could be made. Can we get some?
Please understand, I'm not ungrateful for all the new shiny we got... far from it, I've loved doing the Prison Break missions even with my Lvl50s, but some things are still missing and it would be nice to put the final pieces in place for a truly complete experience.

In order of importance. 1. Klingon KDF science ships, and it really cant be soon 'Neff.
Its ok NOT to do art for it.. Take the most common Klingon hull, the K'tings and make a sci version of it. You can something fancy for the C-store..I WILL BUY IT! But give us some Battlecruiser refitted as SCI ships to hold us over..
Uniforms and costumes and hair, Oh My! Need more..need some old glitches/clipping issues fixed...I'll be happy to dig through and get screen captures for you. Love the braided hair option... how come no one did big frizzy hair? You know, what your hair when you take it out of braids... I notice your hair is really short, Maybe you can talk Zero into demonstrating for you. Wanted/desired for all KDF races is removal limitations on what can be worn with what, ie: Orion bare leg options not allowing boots. That sort of thing. We want our barbaric splendor.. so more accessories please! *cough* belt knife* cough*
Good job on the new content.. have almost gotten a new toon through it and its been a real blast. Told you two years ago "Build it and they will come!" well, they're coming, and all ready staying.. TOLD YOU SO YOU STUBBORN TARG! *shakes fist*
NO KIBBLES! *pours kibbles, cuts eyes back and forth, and slides it over*
Your dear old erudite if typo prone critic
Khemaraa Iron Hand.
P.S. still interested in seeing a "Civilian" faction. RP'rs would love it and there are so many possibilities!
1. Are there any plans to give the KDF the +1 Raptor we currently do not have available? Not everyone has access to the Peg'hu heavy destroyer 1,000 day ship.
2. Has Legacy of Romulas done anything to shift the Blue vs Red player base? Or is it still 80% fed, fed-Rom. And KDF, KDF-Rom should expect to see the majority of support, and new toys given to the Blue side?
3. What are your plans to entice player to stick with KDF, Rom-KDF characters so we can have a closer split in player population. As opposed to going Fed, Fed-Rom and joining the majority population? Recent interviews point to a "Founders of the Federation" Ship bundle, Andorian Broadsider, Telerrite, Vulcan, being on the horizion. Yet 18% population red side and the failure of the Bortas is quoted when KDF new ship development is asked.
4. Any plans for a KDF Escort Carrier? Given it has been mentioned that one idea to help the Galaxy and Galaxy X is to give it a fighter bay, thus giving the Blue side access to the last KDF exclusive ship class.
Will the KDF ever be given a Raptor or other attack ship with 5 forward weapons slots and consoles to actually put us on par with the Federation?
When are you going to allow the players to use all the fantastic stuff the NPCs seem to enjoy like the Da'har master dusters , D'k tahgs , Mek'leths and other such items?
Will you ever start adding ships to the KDF that are not cruisers? We have more than enough of them at all levels while other classes like Science and Raptors are far more lacking.
Do you ever plan to resolve the ongoing story arc of the Undine and the KDF? It has been unresolved for a very long time now and is supposed to be the main reason for the war between the KDF and the Federation.
Since you gave away the Leach console, how about some of the Fed only toys come over to KDF side.
Like let KDF have a 180 torp like the Regent.
Or a Sci ship with Aux cannons and hanger (or other fancy toy) like the Vesta.
Or a five front weapon slot ship like the Andorian escort.
Or make up some new stuff, and keep it just for KDF. You know, people keep saying tha KDF has less cannon stuff to draw upon. That should give you more room for stuff, not less. Like with the Fek'Ihri, that was all pretty much made up from a few mentions in episodes, but the ships, the powers, that was all whole cloth. The same with the early Gorn ships, and the Nausicaan and Orion. Make some Ferasan ships like that.
1) Costumes. Not so much new stuff, I'd like to know why all costume pieces are not available for every KDF race. Maybe I want to use Orion shoulder pads on a Klingon for a change? How epic would a Gorn dressed in Nausicaan armour look!
2) I'd like to see more Orion, Gorn and Nausicaan hull designs in the future since such ships are relied on to fill the gaps in the KDF arsenal. Are there any plans in the works regarding this?
3) Now LoR has landed and Qo'nos has exploded with activity (seriously, on peak times the lag is terrible...in a good way I suppose) could we get an updated impression on how many active KDF/KDF Aligned players there are now? Is it still 18% or has it grown?

If you want all that stuff, theres a simple solution. Role a Fed character.

The feds would do well to remember that on the numerious times they have cried wolf at the KDF having something the don't like say using an example out of thin air carriers.
Difference is that they are the ones pandered to in this game not the KDF.

Feds are pandered to because they spend the most. A gm stated that a KDF c-store ship didnt make enough money to cover the cost of its development.
Feds are pandered to because they spend the most. A gm stated that a KDF c-store ship didnt make enough money to cover the cost of its development.
And the KDF players argued back that nobody bought it because no one asked for it and it was impractical to use. There are plenty of things they could put in the C store that people would throw money at on the KDF side but they seem for some strange reason to add stuff people havent asked for.
Either way the point remains valid, pot meet kettle.
As for the interview: The only question I've got that isn't already asked is this - Are there any plans to make a Fleet version of the Kar'fi carrier? It doesn't need to be much of a boost. . .a 10th console, a little more turnrate/higher inertia, and a small boost to the shield modifier. It would qualify for the discount, if someone has the C-store version, and I feel folks would willingly pay an extra 5 dollars worth in Zen to get a buffed version of the Kar'fi.
I'm going to add just a couple more, I forgot them earlier and I believe these are the most important ones in terms of urgency:
- When do they plan to fix the old restriction to new KDF characters that does not allow a new KDF char to have access to certain missions, fleet events, officer of the watch daily and the lore missions untill it reaches above lvl 21 as pre LoR?
- When do they plan to fix the restriction that KDF alligned Romulans have in terms of access to PvP, the empire defence dailies and other dailies? This is probably already hurting the KDF-Rom population as info spreads that KDF-Roms will face many restrictions in the gameplay that have probably not been intended.
1. Fleet guramba-when? Also, can it have 5 tactical consoles?
2. Will KDF have fleet Kar'fi carrier?
3. C store negh'var that was promised. When it will be released.
4. Since there is exchange of technologies between fed and kdf (consoles) and factions are put on par can we hope for Vesta, Kumari, Armitage and two five tac console fleet escort equivalents?
5. New clothes/uniforms for KDF-any chance? Dahar master's coat would be nice.
6. Can we have KDF exclusive bundle? Maybe TOS klingon bundle like fed tos bundle but with TOS disruptor pistol with unique vaporization effects?
7. Will KDF get more races?
8. Can we have green klingon photon torp launcher like the one seen on shows? It could be unique, markless (leveling). http://images.wikia.com/memoryalpha/en/images/0/0b/Kohlars_battle_cruiser_firing.jpg
9. Any Lethean and/or Ferasan ships coming?
10. Will we have K'Vort Bird of Prey?
Sorry if my english is bad. It's not my first launguage.
1. When can we expect fleet guramba? And does it have a 5th tac console?
2. Fleet karfi?
3. I'd like to see more outfits for kdf. I don't see why my kdf joined trill character can't use the formal outfit while the fed joined trill can.
4. Can we get a romulan boff with both space traits (sup op, sub) from t4 marauding? It states we can get a boff from "an enemy faction", fed-roms are those enemies
The Evil Queen - Tac - Hobo
John May Lives - Sci - Hobo
I'm already ready starting to see some K'vortian patterns and the like. GoS wishes to let Dstahl know of the KDF fanbases desires.
Those things you would like to see added to STO and just plain more of some things we already have to enjoy.

also why on mission replay after all this time!!!... undine advance... mission a light in the dark....
why is the kdf replay rewards mk X when fed side the rewards are mk XI ??

2) Can we get cloaking in sector space?
3) We need more Klingon ships (A TRUE KLINGON BATTLESHIP WOULD BE NICE I E: BIRD OF DEATH WITH BROAD SIDE WEAPONS)

3 - More music, specially the Klingon theme song from the Motion Picture.
USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
Okay, that I would buy.
I think they mentioned in the recent Ask Cryptic that they want to do a Lethean ship, but it wasn't going to be soon.
Keep calm, and continue firing photon torpedoes.
by gm I think they actually mean dev and I think it was geko on a previous podcast on priority 1.
but it was a general comment about kdf stuff don't make them much money compared to fed stuff.
They already have our consoles and cloaked ships.
2) How will you make Klingon play distinct again?
