A Token to change alliance

I'd like a token to change ally factions.
I am a romulan KDF but i want to become romulan FED.

because I'm sick and tired of KDF:
- You can't do Starbase Fleet Defence
And other KDF Fleet Credits PVE missions, because there are too few KDF players.

- You cannot farm in Ker'rat because there are always 15-16 FED players that attack you as soon as you declock.

Give us a token to change faction.

    It wouldn't work because they have separate missions. I'm sure the Romulan missions are mostly the same, but I know the Romulan/Federation alliance has some Federation missions in there, as I'm sure the Romulan/KDF alliance has KDF missions.

    If you think demanding the devs to grace you with special treatment is going to get you your way, you're going to have a bad time.

    As said before, roll another toon. If you don't want to, then you're out of luck. I doubt there will ever be a 'Faction change token' produced, and frankly, it would be a bad idea. Not going to happen.

    They need to just end the war and have the PvP system be a separate system of wargame simulations. There will just never be enough non-Federation or aligned players to fill those queues.

    I don't want devs to grace me, I want they to create a token (like the skill respec token) to change alliance.

    if you set your skill wrongly, you don't need to roll another toon.

    Romulan Missions are long and nasty, I HATE THEM !

    First, a month? I was disappointed doing it in under a week.

    Second they won't do such a token because of the specific gear each side gets. Oh you want to teleport and have point defense guns? Hmm, spend a small fortune on lock box keys and hope to find one. Buy one off the market. Or your idea, to go super cheap and flip sides when you feel like it.
    Not likely. Even if they could make the consoles swap. You could have a Klingon ship then join Star fleep, or bring your Klingon/orion/etc bridge officers to star fleet? Or do you think they should wipe out all your KDF gear, purchased ships, and crew along with your DOFFs, for a token?

    So, no not blind, just able to see further than right in front of our noses.

    - You can't do Starbase Fleet Defence
    You can't? I'm pretty sure KDF Starbase Fleet Defense exists. Do you even have a fleet? One that has enough people to even do this?
    And other KDF Fleet Credits PVE missions, because there are too few KDF players.
    Well, your problem is that you're in a tiny fleet that doesn't have enough people. This wouldn't change even if you were in a tiny Fed fleet instead. And it's absolutely pointless to bother with a fleetmark mission with non-fleet, those other filthy mutants will just steal all your income.
    - You cannot farm in Ker'rat because there are always 15-16 FED players that attack you as soon as you declock.
    Psst. There's a little place, it's called N'vak...where you can be murdered by other Klingon players instead...

    Honestly, you're so hung up on all the crappy stuff that you wouldn't really have avoided even in Fed that you're missing out on the important KDF goodness...that Feds simply don't get.

    Anyway, go reroll or join a bigger fleet and farm fleet marks with them.

    I'd pop off to the KDF for Elite Fleet disruptors and back to the Feds for the rest of the game.

    Funny thing is, until they changed it, Feds had access to disruptor weapons. Heck, I still have a fleet ground disruptor weapon on one of my fed toons since I got it before the stupid limitation was put in place.

    Join a good fleet (if any will have you after such a wimpy display of character).

    Why do I say wimpy? Simply because such displays of "I want, I need, me me me" requests is why STO has so many issues in balance and the like.

    Rather than ask for something just for your individual needs, ask instead for a change that helps all factions play in the group designed missions.

    I never have to wait more than a minute or two to do KDF Starbase Defence.

    Ker'rat is a place I haven't been to for a long time. Is it still massively broken? Does everybody pretty much warp in on top of each other? And 15 Feds attacking you when you decloak? Why are you decloaking with 15 to 1 odds. Go look for a 1 on 1 fight you have Battle Cloak. I was also under the impression Ker'rat was 10 vs 10. I did this place in a Raptor or a BoP. I didn't get Battle Cloak (Raptor) or Singularity powers or even the Romulan BOFFs and I never had the problems you described.

    But let's look at your build from this thread

    I think that there is your real problem, seriously who uses Tractor Beam 2 on an Escort. A Romulan Warbird is never going to be running high Aux and everybody will have either Polarise Hull or Omega pattern.

    You only have a single Tac BOFF and 3 Engineer BOFFs. The other question is how do you counter the weapons drain from the Beam Overload? Batteries? Are you doing 1 Attack every 2 minutes?

    Oh right 2 DEM DOFFs so your on what 45s between attack runs?

    Working on your build would be more useful than whingeing you chose the wrong side. Your also the guy who claims the Scimitar is underpowered, but don't worry guys he never purchased it, he didn't fly it on Tribble. It's all conjecture not experience.
    I was once DKnight1000, apparently I had taken my own name so now I'm DKnight0001. :confused:
    If I ask you a question it is not an insult but a genuine attempt to understand why.
    When I insult you I won't be discreet about it, I will be precise and to the point stupid.

    No, i do not have a fleet Ha'Feh.

    I have a normal Ha'Feh and non fleet/rep gear.
    (i got t4 all reputation, t5 in a week).

    The point is:

    1 - Ker'rat is full of Fed players:
    Battlecloack ?

    Not useful, if you do not want to spend all the time watching fed players farming.


    2 - Fleet missions are imossible:
    Fleet Alert: if you are REALLY lucky you can play it once per week.
    Starbase Defence: NEVER PLAYED !


    KDF side could be nice if it had more than 5 players :|

    And people who say that there is no difference are clearly FED side, no one who choose the KDF side will ever say it is the same.

    And no: you do not understand where the real problem is.
    It's normal for me to die in Ker'rat:

    i do not have good equipment:
    but even if i had better weapons, shields, boffs and a PVP build.

    I could never win against a swarm of fed toons:
    Looking for the 1 vs 1 ?

    Its not always possible: there are always 2 or more FED evere 10 Km.
    And guess: NO ONE KDF !!

    That build was a testing, i never entered ker'rat with that build.

    The only good things i got are:
    1 - Photon Torp Launcher Mk X [Acc]x3
    1 - Advanced Fleet Hyper-Reinforced Singularity Core
    1 - Jem Hadar Dreadnought Carrier (in the Bank - I'll sell it as soon as i'll get enough dilithium to increase my EC capacity).

    The point is that i'd like to farm in ker'rat to get good equipment, and this is not possible cause i'm KDF.

    My KDF Fleet does Base defense quite often among others.
    Ive never waited more than 20min for a random version of that mission.
    My Rom-KDF is in a different and much smaller fleet... guess what... they run that mission regularly too...

    No, i do not have a fleet Ha'Feh.

    You just made a thread and posted a build with this is my ship on it. That's why I was confused. I even linked it.
    I have a normal Ha'Feh and non fleet/rep gear.
    (i got t4 all reputation, t5 in a week).

    Ker'rat is always full of Fed players, always has been. If Battle Cloak isn't helping your doing it wrong. Romulans have the best Battle cloak in the game thanks to the BOFFs, that's simple Fact.
    2 - Fleet missions are imossible:
    Fleet Alert: if you are REALLY lucky you can play it once per week.
    Starbase Defence: NEVER PLAYED !

    And people who say that there is no difference are clearly FED side, no one who choose the KDF side will ever say it is the same.

    I am mainly KDF, I'm not waiting long to get into ques. Perhaps it's the time you play.
    And no: you do not understand where the real problem is.
    It's normal for me to die in Ker'rat:

    Your going to be outnumbered, of course your going to die, everyone dies except for the people who travel in packs or the zombie cruisers. Die, respawn, cloak and hunt. There is always somebody better, deal with it.

    It seems Ker'rat is not the place for you, try CE or the STFs. Green Mk XI gear is super cheap and good enough for starting out.
    i do not have good equipment:
    but even if i had better weapons, shields, boffs and a PVP build.

    I could never win against a swarm of fed toons:
    Looking for the 1 vs 1 ?

    Its not always possible: there are always 2 or more FED evere 10 Km.
    And guess: NO ONE KDF !!

    No it's not always possible, you got to hit one and hope the other guy doesn't see you in time or that he's busy. KDF don't scan things they blow up Feds.
    That build was a testing, i never entered ker'rat with that build.

    The only good things i got are:
    1 - Photon Torp Launcher Mk X [Acc]x3
    1 - Advanced Fleet Hyper-Reinforced Singularity Core
    1 - Jem Hadar Dreadnought Carrier (in the Bank - I'll sell it as soon as i'll get enough dilithium to increase my EC capacity).

    The point is that i'd like to farm in ker'rat to get good equipment, and this is not possible cause i'm KDF.

    It's nothing to do with being KDF it's more to do with you not understanding what being KDF means. You want to be a Fed, that's fine reroll and become a Fed most of your gear is transferable through the Account bank. Let's be honest here your not cut out to be part of KDF you need things weighted in your favour, you need to be part of a group not out there being a lone wolf picking off targets. You need easy mode. And that's not going to be found in PVP. I guarantee your going to be complaining about the KDF pwning you repeatedly when you farm Ker'rat as Fed-Rom.

    TL;DR

    It's not KDF it's you.

    Disclaimer. I'm not saying your an idiot, I'm saying your determined to not use the tools you have the way their intended for use. Romulans make Klingon Cloaking a joke, their Warbirds are incredibly competitive and a T3 Shipyard is required to get the Fleet T'Varo, Dhelan and Mogai some of the best ships available.

    I play KDF and KDF-Rom exclusively. I have a token fed player than I can log into when my fedside fleet needs another hand for the Starbase Defence.

    I spend a good amount of my online time in Ker'rat, on all my KDF characters. The reason I mention battle cloak is because you can just decloak on a cube or hulk, murder it, loot it and scoot off. 99% of the time, people won't even attack you, or get maybe a single hit in. The other percent you might end up in a fight, but then again, if things go sour, you cloak.

    Yes, you're outnumbered in Ker'rat as a KDF - most of the time anyway - and yes, Feds will want to pew pew at you. It's a warzone. It's glorious battle. If you're not interested in Battle, the KDF is obviously not for you.

    Somehow, your position reminds me of the hate messages I get from fedplayers when they're farming.

    well i think you go from bad side - i think what we need is to make KDF side muc more ataracting - not only by addidnt more items to c-store, but creating more kdf-specific missions (and why not even fe episodes kdf only), because in these areas kdf srs lag behidn fed gameplay.

    No, I am interested in battles, but i'm not ready.

    I'd like to farm in Ker'rat to get good items to sell or use:
    As told, i don't have a good equipment :(

    I'd like KDF side, but being KDF means you can't do a lot:
    - Fleet Missions ... ok, my fleet is small, but its the only fleet i found.
    I'm getting Fleet Marks by doing Cristalline Catastrophe :|

    - Farming in Ker'rat ...

    These are the problem i found nowaday ... i may find further problems.


    I'd like to be KDF, but it seems i'm not ready for it :(

    Haha this was to be Expected, the OP have the right to ask for what he or she is asking for. Come on people let be real here, having a mini faction because cryptic didn't want to divide the player base even Further. So they thought a mini faction with alliance base system is the best way to sort this out. It seem to they have forgotten how they made the KDF. The reason why most people didn't play the Klingon, was not because they didn't like the faction but one have to level a federation character up before you can unlock the Klingon side. And they didnt even have much mission to do in the first place. Now they corrected that mistake by giving a klingons they own start up zone, but the damage is already done. Romulans where different matter, the gave them a completely start up zone of they own, so you will get a lot of people who don't need to play the fed before they able to play the romulans. One have to wonder why even bother with the alliance base system. It's like they are trying to recreate the problems they had with the Klingon side all over again. You going to get people asking for all kind of things like don't like how romulans are not a full faction, and people wanting to be able to change side with the alliance base system because one side don't have enough player base. This is going to bring more problems than they know. At the moment the Klingon are still Lacking behind when you Compare to both the fed and the Republic even though the romulans are still a mini faction.

    I am a romulan KDF but i want to become romulan FED.

    because I'm sick and tired of KDF:
    - You can't do Starbase Fleet Defence
    And other KDF Fleet Credits PVE missions, because there are too few KDF players.

    - You cannot farm in Ker'rat because there are always 15-16 FED players that attack you as soon as you declock.

    Give us a token to change faction.

    Most KDF go to kerrat to attack the feds, not farm. Try that you might enjoy KDF more;) . Or go to N'Vak instead, its usually less crowded. For fleet marks do a lot of pvp, and during the mark event queue up for 3 different events, something will pop usually.

    I doubt there will be any alligence change, it sounds really hard to program it, they would have to find a way to take away all your KDF only stuff like ships, consoles, KDF Rom uniforms, boffs, and doffs.

    No, I am interested in battles, but i'm not ready.

    I'd like to farm in Ker'rat to get good items to sell or use:
    As told, i don't have a good equipment :(

    I'd like KDF side, but being KDF means you can't do a lot:
    - Fleet Missions ... ok, my fleet is small, but its the only fleet i found.
    I'm getting Fleet Marks by doing Cristalline Catastrophe :|

    - Farming in Ker'rat ...

    These are the problem i found nowaday ... i may find further problems.


    I'd like to be KDF, but it seems i'm not ready for it :(

    First: Use the STOwiki Episode Replay list and gather basic provisions for setting up your ship. Some missions you might want to avoid due to duration (personally I avoid bothering with the Caustic weapons, for example), but you should be able to get some solid introductory equipment through that. "Facility 4028" and "A Fistful of Gorn" are a simple source of decent Projectile Weapons Officer doffs. Use the "Skip" button liberally when you see episodes you aren't interested in and you can bypass many of the meh ones; most of the ones you must complete to continue skipping are go-here-and-talk types, so easy. From there advance into PvE queues and Reputation system. If you can run The Breach (Elite), you'll probably find some of the Mk XII consoles and weapons to be rather useful (you get a random toy with each Dyson Rep project started).

    Second: Nausicaans work now... and in space you can't see the giggly-bits that make Orion females so popular. They aren't as good as Romulans and Remans if you chose carefully as you leveled, but Nausicaans do boost damage and stealth. Use them to fill in the gaps until you can recruit Republic boffs.

    Third: You're a Romulan character, so you should be maintaining an active recruitment cycle. Hit up New Romulus and the Klingon Academy every few days for 11 recruitment assignments; you will get enough that you can contribute any commons other than Refugees to you fleet. If you get full of Uncommon doffs, mail 10 or so to yourself, use the Uncommon Officer Exchange at S'Tass to convert a few to Commons and contribute them to your fleet as you do. If you get Refugees, fly around Klingon space and do the Asylum/Sanctuary/whatnot assignments to get better doffs, and pay attention to the traits that help with each. Or, if you really need the EC's more than the Fleet Credits, sell doffs on the Exchange... but keep recruiting.

    Fourth: If you want Fleet Marks, join the "KDFdefera" chat channel and get a decent ground setup. Stock up on Hypos, make sure you have a Refrequencer, have one of your weapons either slow-firing or melee, and call it good. If you get a group with 2 decent Engineers, you won't have to do much anyway in a standard Defera lap (doing everything flagged as Hard). Dilithium and Dyson Rep widgets are obtainable via the Ground Battlezone... and Ground is cheaper to kit up for than Space.

    Fifth: You do have the Plasmonic Leech and investment in the Flow Capacitors skill, right? The Vandal is a nice purchase because it gives every KDF and KDF-aligned character you have access to a good console, and it only costs 1000 Zen... even if you have to grind dilithium for Zen, this is well worth it as an account-wide unlock. Especially as a means to help with Warbird power levels.

    Sixth: Oh yeah, those doffs you're recruiting... they work really well with your First Officer. Whenever you're in the Tau Dewa Sector Block, check both the Current Map and First Officer for Marauding assignments. You'll gather Contraband that can be sold on the Exchange and Prisoners that can be... given jobs in the construction industry (Consign Prisoners to Labor Battalion, to be specific). You can hop to Tau Dewa at any time using the Transwarp button that pops up when you click on the picture of Worf, that promotes the Featured Episode.

    Oh, sorry, before all that: If you have better equipped characters, you can equip this fellow more easily. If you have the Shared Bank unlocked, you can check their ships for equipment that is Bound to Account and use the Shared bank to pass any items you don't use anymore over to the new guy; if you don't have the Shared Bank unlocked, do so (very worth it to get at least the first 10 for item transfer and EC storage) or... use the other characters to get decent gear. If you have characters in more than one faction, you can use the replay guide I mentioned to farm that faction's missions too, and if they have EC's you can buy items for your Romulan with your wealthier characters. As long as an item isn't Bound yet, you can mail it to yourself as an attachment. Pick a damage-type that's cheap if you're buying an entry-level Mk XI-XII setup and work from there.

    Hope that is helpful. Remember, Ker'rat is a fun PvPvE zone to mess around in, but it's not the only way to get basic gear as you start the endgame grind. It's less of a power gap to start with PvE before trying to take on other players that may be rocking Mk XII godmode consoles and ships. Once you've got the dilithium and Fleet Credits, Advanced Fleet weapons can be an affordable way to gear up and they only require T2 Engineering for your fleet (or an invite via the public service channels). Once you have a solid payload, you should start to see better results.

    [NOTE] I mention Advanced Fleet mostly because the Elite Fleet weapons require T5 Engineering access, and because you can use a damage type with more affordable Tac Consoles, including Polarons that benefit from the free Jem'Hadar space set Mk XI.
