I was just watching one of my favorite DS9 episodes and it reminded me that the best episodes were with Starfleet and the KDF fighting together.
One of the best lines in all of DS9:
Defiant is trying to finish laying the mines and is attacked by the Jem hadar - then she is saved by my favorite character(well also Garak) General Martok.
Martok: "You may continue your work Cmdr - I will handle the Jem'Hadar"
Jadzia "who says there's never a Klingon around when you need one!"
Martok - laughs

A formal peace treaty should be announced.
(also cloaked self-replicating mines(non-tractor beam) should also be added to the game:P)
Edit : Also a KDF Bop should be able to decloak alpha strike and destroy a JHAS!!
oh and 1 more thing: The "fleet B'rel" needs to be modified to have 4 tac consoles to be competative with the Romulan "Fleet T'Varo"
that is all - for now

Level 13 for a KDF.
Never really exists outside of a blink of the eye for a Rom.
They did end the War...long ago.
But as the server is named Holodeck, and almost everything has a replay button - you can replay the War whenever you like.
There has been no formal end to the war.
In the episodes you fought everybody pretty much. You even fought fellow Starfleet ships and personnel in a few missions.
Borg, Orion Pirates, Klingons, Nausicaans, Romulans, Remans, Tholians, Undine, Breen, Cardassians, Mirror Universe, Jem'Hadar, and Federation.
Only limited amount of endgame content includes all/most of them. The Fleet queues and No win are the only ones I can think of.
Need less conflict and more content.
You can challenge any player in the game to a private match - just right click on them and select challenge - then select space or ground missions.
And there won't be, till we purge Starfleet and the Federation of Undine, and seduce the Vulcans to march Beneath the Raptor's Wings.
What is this war you speak of
Don't get me started on that - I don't like the KDF being seen as a Farming faction.
I don't think you've explored the UI much, esp. for the obvious submenu you get when you right click on someone's name...
Oh, and I am for deepening and widening the war. For you newer Star Trek fans, a conflict between the Federation and Klingon Empire is classic Star Trek. Just because the devs have a short attention span and have completely dropped the ball on every story arc they start, doesn't mean a Federation-Klingon War is not a viable backdrop for a Star Trek game.
The Fed-Kling war is something classic - that's why it's in this game to begin with, to appeal to fans of the TOS movie era. This game however is supposed to be set in the post TNG era. Reviving that war was a cheap trick to begin with and the given reason for the war - yet another occasion that shapeshifters infiltrate major powers which happened multiple times in the past and with 8472 Voyager even uncovered their plans and reported to Starfleet without a doubt - was a phony one to begin with. The only reason it exists is that Cryptic was going for a Red vs Blue PvP setup, a concept they lost interest in in the meantime.
The whole setup of this game makes no sense. It just serves the purpose of varying mobs to shoot. Think of it, it doesn't matter if you are KDF or FED the game is made so you can shoot each and every ship/race you ever saw on-screen, even your own - there is no other purpose besides providng a trek-themed shooting range

If you think the war should end.,..dont participate in it.Just spend YOUR time with your little white flag exploring and let the rest of us worry about the glorious battles.
THIS is what the game NEEDS. It would add to PVP immensely and add tot he depth of the game.
However, I agree with the OP, I love the Fed/Klingons being on good terms. I like the idea of an Alliance and I would love to see the war end, relations grow warmer [we can still PVP in 'simulated' skirmishes'] and a new faction take the 'bad guy' mantle whom we can PVP against in a territory control system.
Introduce the Dominion as a 3rd playable faction and start a second Dominion war with a new sector block [including DS9] that is 'winnable' for the FED/KDF & Dominion. It would be epic. Hell, add the Cardassians as a small Dominion faction to expand the war further.
That would be a great addition, though I'd imagine the factions being the Coalition (FED, KDF (Klingons, Nausicaans, Gorn, Ferasans), Romulan Republic (is de facto allied to both anyway)), the True Way/Dominion ('Core' Dominion (Vorta, Jem'Hadar), Cardassians, Breen) and a third faction could be opened up for people like Orions (since nobody who wants to play an orion wants to fight for the Klingons), Mercenaries of different origin, Marquis etc.

So if you agree to these terms by all means let it end. our position has never been stronger . the romulans are divided. between the Empire and the federation. the feds can have all those unification sewer rats they want. im ok with our new reman warrior cousins.
its a Roluman trick don't listen... but feel free to report to the nearest Klingon vessel and turn over all your weapons . we will take care of you .
Shhhh. You're almost right, but it's not Section 31 ...
If we get more political combinaison that can evolve let's say every month. We can have peace between some faction and why not between the fed and the klingon, or we can have war or cold war (the uneasy peace between klingon and fed during TOS where no formal was going on but they were still fighting each other).
In war we can have what most propose which is territory control. Though remind that a war generally imply invading only one planet as holding a planet seem quite difficult if it is very populated.
I'd like to see the Romulan Star Empire story more exploited because that could be really a reason for the KDF and Starfleet to fight each other to sway the faction (or conquer world) in the Romulan Star Empire. I have Always thought that the Republic would ally with the Fed ans the rest of the Romulan Empire with the Klingon (though the klingon can jsut go for conquest on a weaker neibhourg).
I agree with the orginal poster on a point : in Star Trek, the political setting is not stable and can change quite quickly. We need this.

I don't want all my characters to be on Fed side. Hell, I'm in the process of converting most of my Fed side ones to KDF side Romulans.
No peace in our time...
:mad:
Game world: What does the Federation have to offer the Klingon Empire anyways? What is the point of the Empire NOT being on guard against people who let a hostile species run around in their territory? Feds try and avoid conflict. Klingons are proactive vs hostiles, as are TRUE Romulans. The ideology of the Federation and the Klingon Empire is and will always be at odds. If the Feds want alliances to destroy enemies - that's fine; they can come grovel for help. Anything outside of that is fodder...
