Can you please make it so that KDF, Romulan and Federation can do all STF's together? There just is not enough players on the KDF side its dead.(including Fleet Defence)
You promoting Federation more doesnt help either 4 ships for fed and 2 for KDF and Romulan in the DR pack whats that about?

its a circle.
cryptic loses money on succesive klingon ships, they dont make as many, less people play kdf, they lose money on another ship....so on
Thats fine and I understand that but they could put all the STF factions together and then people could choose which faction they want to play and it wouldn't matter everyone would have the same playerbase to get on with the game but you're having to wait nealy 30/40mins for some stfs KDF side.
true, wouldnt be difficult
change the defense so that feds=mirror feds and klingons=rival houses
and you have no conflict of factions
There is certainly a problem with some of the daily queued missions at Klingon side. E.g. i'm trying to get a team together for federation minefield for about a week.
If it is a mirror of the gorn minefield on federation side then it is stupidly easy and possible to solo, but sadly it is not possible to go in solo through a private match.
It'd be in everyone's best interest if the opponent was switched to mirror universe or a rebel gorn / klingon so that everyone could queue for the minefield mission.
plleeeasssseeee this
make it randomly choose rebel gorn or mirror feds
In any case, isn't it time to merge all available queues now that the 'war' is over and all that. But more to the point, there are too many segregated queues and not enough population to support them all.
Unfortunately, the only thing I see they are trying to fix this with are solo queues.
and other stuff like epohh tagging and such.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
the stfs are already cross faction.
what would be nice is if they allowed fed/kdf to team together.

How the hell are u getting one shotted i dont in my Hoh'sus bop but i all 5 of my chars have mk xii rep fleet stuff.
They should have made an intel BoP. It makes more sense to have a intel BoP than it does a Battlecruiser, or raptor. I would trade that intel battlecruiser for a intel BoP any day. Why not both cryptic????
What I am always wondering about on KDF side is when I stare at the screen and wait for 4 (!) more people to quere....where are those 2 mio. accounts and 18 % of them have KDF toons?
That just seems like an old arguement. Might have been true in the beginning, when they were still releasing content that was unique to each faction.
Now it's just all universal content, the same for each faction with a different skin.
I don't know...saving 40 million EC when you're not rich is a big perk...but I guess people don't care about huge chunks of EC when they get to play on the side of the cashcow faction.
I don't know if I really believe this about they lose money on ships...it's probably they just make more money on Fed ships so they don't give a damn.
How would they know they lose money? The last original ship they made was back before the game went F2P, then they made the Bortasqu' a complete whale with inferior consoles, and they don't even try at all to give the KDF or Roms anything.
Trying to tell me it takes thousands to tens of thousands to make one ship? I know ships take time but what are they paying a whole art crew for months just to make one ship?
I am more than a little surprised that this hasnt already been done.
Considering that we can already cross faction on a number of other STFs. Considering that the "war" is supposedly over. Considering that the whole war thing was never really very Star Trek (and more likely an influence from another popular MMO).
Considering that this change wouldnt require significant resources to implement, (altering a few lines of NPC dialogue, and swapping in already designed mirror ships).
I am more than a little surprised that this hasnt already been done.
:P
For lack of inflammatory response I don't have ANY problems finding KDF STF's that que within seconds of me joining, as well I enjoy playing with pink skins in war zones, but healing them quickly becomes a full time job.

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
I think they should make ALL STFs accessable to every faction just one queue for all would cut down queue times on both sides.(everyone wins)
what do you think they should do about it?
Thanks for the replys everyone.
Even on WoW with all their different groups in the 2 factions. You always have the group most played and some that wasn't. Its all about the person's preference.
To get recruits to join the KDF. Invite friends, team mates, etc to join up. Start a new character with them and level together. Show them how fun KDF can be either in a strong Battlecruiser or fast deadly Bird of Prey.

I'm indifferent if content is an issue, because content would come if there was peeps.
I also don't really know about the ships, because the only Klingon C-Store ships I have touched have been the Phalanx and the Varanus.
Let's be honest with ourselves. When people go to a star trek game, they do not come for the klingons. I don't think they come for the amazing disjointed saturday morning plot. They come here for what they know with greatest familiarity, the faction that's always been hyped up the most. Fighting for the Federation, hand in hand they'll conquer space.
As KDF we'll always be behind, cuz that's just the nature of it. We're not nearly as cool or amazing as those shiny blue coats.
Would it be nice to be able to group everyone in together for more content? Certainly.
Will that happen? Probably not. Too many purists trundling around who would froth at the mouth about it. Additionally some slight concern that it may trivialize the KDF even more, leading to their eventual eradication, tossing off to the side, or merger into the fed faction (I'd be totally chill with that if I get to keep my Gorn and Varanus).

LIES !!! LIES !!!
Some come for the red, many stay for the red.
When red and blue are mixed, they become purple- many don't want purple. It's worse than green.
Red didn't choose to be ignored, the game gods did it to us. We remain because it's what we got. It's getting better so lets not toss in the towel just yet.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censured, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably."
Yes one of the long queues are the fleet missions.
I have 5 level 50s 3 fed 1 rom and 1 KDF and the queue times between them are far between.
I just think if your going to put factions in the game then support all of them! some new player could role KDF get to end game and think TRIBBLE it the waiting times are just far to long and quit, which isn't good for us the playerbase or cryptic.
Thanks for the imput everyone.
Personally still hope cryptic merges the factions in DR and those issues, alongside xy faction isn't worth being developed further, will be gone once and for all.
Ya mean having to play fed for 20 levels to unlock KDF wasn't enough ? I put in my 8 hours so I COULD play KDF toons, whats your excuse ?
The problem ruffgenius is evading is his own greed, HE needs to force everyone to play in his chosen STF so HE can play. Apparently the desire of others to remain independent of his faction is a minor consideration to his own self satisfaction.. Remember just a few months ago you couldn't get some pvp's to pop if your life depended on it ?

Now shaddup about the queues, it's a BUG
There are alot of privet channels for KDF ques. I belong to 1 or 2 of them not because I really think its a good idea that no one ques up in the main ques but because if I want to move our KDF fleet along its the only way to get fleet marks half the time. I have 3 Fed level 50, 1 FedRom 50, and 1 KDF 50. The fed side for any que is far far shorter then KDF and that makes people leave the KDF side quickly unless they join one of the channels then when someone new comes along they see no action in the main ques and shortly gives up deletes the toon and starts a new fed or FedRom. People need to drop the channels and start loading up for main ques if there was some action more would come to the KDF I have no doubt.
I fully support putting all factions in the same ques there are some days where Feds could use the KDF DPS and where the KDF could used the Feds numbers to get something started. Its a total win for everyone.
KDF and feds can do STFs together...happens all the time in STFs.
Please Devs I hope you read this thread. My KDF/Rom is very lonely and sadly alone.
