I have a KDF main and numerous KDF/Rom-KDF's...but I don't think any of this matters anymore.
If you want to make a statement, delete a Fed toon.
I sent my only Fed Eng back to Hell from whence it spawned.
Of those, I'm down to my starting Fed Tac and Sci that I may end up deleting regardless.
NO to ARC RIP KDF and PvP 2014-07-17 Season 9.5 - Death by Dev
My main is Kitenia, a KDF allied Romulan alien, I enjoy kdf more but honestly in the beginning I only chose kdf because I had a fed which was my main at the time, and a friend said "come kdf, we have much cooler costumes" hehe. I kinda gravitate towards kdf for any toons I make because of PL console :cool: but all in all, I do prefer kdf to fed
My first toon ever was a fed toon. I have 5 toons, 3 KDF, 1 rom and 1 fed. So yes, I keep the fed avatar thing as I started fed. However, I have 3 KDF toons, including both of my tactical toons and my lone science toon. I have bought more C-store KDF ships than fed and rommulan combined by nearly 2 to 1. As for fleet ships, I have more fed fleet ships than KDF and rommie combined.
The fleet I am in has 3 sub fleets. 1. fed, 2. fed alligned rommies and 3. KDF/ KDF aligned rommies. The fed fleet is fully maxed tiers all the way. The rommie fleet is maxed in all except the starbase, which is at tier 4. The KDF fleet is similar to the rommie fleet, but the project to open the tier 5 shipyard is counting down, and the remaining sci and eng related items should start soon too.
Both tac toons are Klingon, the science toon is alien.
My first KDF toon was eliminated early as I had trouble piloting a BoP. the turn rate at the early levels was too much when I first started playing STO. Nowadays, I think of a B'Rel simultaneously using APO, EPTE and A2DAMP as something fun to fly.
My KDF sci toon is my crafting "mule" since I got 2 of 3 KDF toons to all level 15 R&D first. My KDF sci and 1 tac toon are my newest toons, and I have played the KDF side about 80% of the time, often switching to fed or rommie to team up with fed fleetmates when pugging STFs. The fleet credits earned for just 1 KDF toon is more than the Fed and Rommie combined, by a large margin.
Lankuhi - Klingon Tactical Currently in Mat'Ha raptor (May go back to Mogh, not sure)
Lankusci - Alien Science Currently in Sarr Theln carrier
Ghitih- Klingon Tactical Currently in Sarr Theln carrier (liked it enough on sci toon that am giving it a try with tac)
Mrtok is the first toon I started this game with. He is the main of all my mains. I have the most fun with him. As of now he is one of 2 Klingons, 6 toons in all. Wox'es Marauders is at or near the top tier in all areas. I don't know what you mean by horror stories but I've had some horror stories with the Fek'ihri, the Borg, the Undine, Vaadwaur, and parasitic bugs on the back of the throat. All of them, including the near unkillable spawnmother in Bug Hunt Elite, are now severed heads in my trophy room.
I only have the one character right now (have only been playing a couple of months) She's an Orion tactical officer, I do plan on eventually creating some more once I'm happy with where this one is at though. And they will all be KDF. I tried Federation and Romulan, but I was bored out of my mind by level 10 on the Federation side and Tovan drove me nuts on the Romulan lol
I eventually want at least a Klingon, Gorn, Nausicaan, Lethean and Trill (undecided on the careers though).
I was briefly in a fleet, but it didn't last. At least I got some nice consoles and a Norgh Retrofit out of it though ( I love Birds Of Prey).
6 I stoped playing when DR came out regulated to straw hats and pitchforks now to Feed the above KDF Romulan
Jellico....Engineer ground.....Da'val Romulan space Sci
Saphire.. Science ground......Ko'el Romulan space Tac
Leva........Tactical ground.....Koj Romulan space Eng
JJ-Verse will never be Canon or considered Lore...It will always be JJ-Verse
Sadly right now my Gorn KDF is in dry dock as I save up to buy him something nice (not sure what, thinking maybe a Hazari). My Fed is a ground combat specialist and mule, so I'm playing with him a lot more for the Dilithium to convert for a fleet bank (followed by a Faeht for my KDF-Rom), and EC for my KDF. As soon as we get a T6 Raider I'll probably only really use my Fed for farming, ground PVP, and if my fleet needs an extra SciGuy around. And if the Feds get a T6 Raider I may well delete him in protest.
Sorry forums won't let me start a new post. I just started the game and so far within the first 5 mins it's a letdown. I'm suppose to greet the captain and there is no captain in sight so there is literally nothing to do. Not really sure if I am just stupid and this mission is bugged. How do I get around this?

Can you possibly explain in more detail as to when this happens, which part of the mission, what were you doing before needing to greet the Captain? Just to make sure what's going on in order to try and help you since I haven't done the tutorial in quite a while.

Yeah, I'd have to second this... I saw your post earlier and was mulling over the turbolift suggestion you've already gotten, but it could be something else (I remember for awhile the Federation tutorial unintentionally allowed you to lock yourself out of any means of progress beyond re-rolling your character). Maybe a screenshot through imgur or whatnot of where you're at.
One thing that most of the game does is give you decent waypoints. If you whack "M" and look for the little circle, that should denote a mission objective, and the minimap uses an arrow if it's outside the range you have the minimap set at. White arrows indicate some form of objective, while yellow/gold indicate whatever you have set as your Primary mission (under "Journal", "In Progress").
Hope those help... the early KDF storyline really is one of the best in the game, and is well worth a playthrough once you sort out the mechanics. Let us know if you still need a hand.
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.
3 Klingons, 2 Liberated Klingons, 2 romulans, 1 reman, 3 letheans, 2 orion (male and female... male one is a banker because there weren't enough orion options for what I wanted to do with that character), 2 aliens, gorn, nausicaan, and a ferasan.
Then I have like 6 feds i barely play but yeah those 18 are kind of like my mains and alts all in one but Cryptic has made some bad decisions which if I can't pick and choose which I want to play at a given time without worrying about all these grinds I just can't get into the game anymore because of that and especially the headache these new icons give me.
my chars
Kr'apok - first Klingon I made in the first week after launch
Kohnor - Klingon engineer
Gelleg - kdf romulan
Relleg - fed romulan - my fed side main char
Welleg - fed romulan
Pegid - trill fed my first character
several other chars for SRO farming, dil farming for fleet , and mark farming by means of the watch dailies.
i only play on my main, never felt the urge to make loads of toons to grind out stuff, i play just for the fun of it.
is in a unknown semi active Fleet
Since DR and problems with raising multiple characters, I've started to focus on my 2 mains.
Ferasan Engineer
Romulan Tactical, KDF allied
Not-so-main one on KDF side is Reman Science character
There are also few on Fed side, since my Fleet is kinda huge and we have 3 blue Fleets, so I keep one character per each in there as well.
Fleet is STO Academy, KDF one named STOA Legion (FTW! :cool: ).
Most of you probably know that site by Skill Planner and source for weird/awesome Alien races, and recent addition is simple and easy version of Combat Log Reader.
6 Characters, 3 of which I consider mains, 1 of which is Orion.
Other 5: human, bajoran, 2x romulan, betazoid
KDF & ROMs: All Tacs
Feds: All Sci
If I made another 2 characters, they'd also be all Science, at least one of which would be KDF.
All part of 3 fleets total, for now.
KDF Fleet horror stories: not many online to play with, no socialization of any kind on fleet channel. Quite horrifying to me, though I'm also to blame grinding away in some lone corner of the galaxy, constantly re-evaluating the fun:grind ratio which always looks bleak post-DR & state of the game.
Ch'andra klingon , female tactical , l 51 as a testing char
my fleet is The house of Martok , a very friendly fleet
I tried many times to create a fed toon but i do not really like this side, i am definitely a proud klingon warrior.
I hate the fact klingons in STO don' have the same care from developers.... because i presume we are not numerous ( i wish to have this information )
I consider we (Klingon) are customer and we must have the same content.
I saw since many years the same outfit for my toons while fed have tons of stuff....
I must admit things have change a bit since the 2 last expansions.
i have a kdf main, but i havent played that toon in some time, somewhat neglected over time. was planning on getting that toon back on track so it can be just as just as my fed main, however i have little motivation to try.
T6 Miranda Hero Ship FTW. Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
My main Tac and Eng for PVP and are 60 are KDF. I love the ships we have and the episodes. I only have fed because it is easier to team up with players. KDF needs a change and go in a different direction so they can be better.
2 Mains which are KDF Aliens (Tact and Engi )
1 Main which is a Fed Alien (Sci) (to hoard all the Fed freebies mostly)
2 Dil Farm alts which are KDF aligned Rommy
and many more planned pure KDF dil farmers.
I honestly started the game as a fed main, but love carriers and when I saw KDF gets the shiny Vo'Quv at free at 40, and the only carrier (at the time which was the Caitan one) the feds got was a pricy zen shop one. I jumped ship, joined the mighty Empire, and never really looked back.
I too hate the lack of attention devs give the KDF in general, and as a result the population withers more and more here, but I'll never return to the Federation, my home and heart is with the Klingon Empire!
I admit my KDF toon originally was just for farming contraband and dilithium. But ever so slowly, bit by bit I've put time, effort and resources into her and she's become a main character in her own right.
I can't say I'm a main KDF player, but my KDF toon does get significant time and attention.
Greetings my fellow warriors! I have many KDF warriors.
My main is a Male Liberated Borg Klingon Engineer <---- He's my favorite warrior because of how he looks and his back story.
My other three are:
A Female Klingon Science officer <---- My newest warrior, only lvl 10 atm.
A Female Orion Tactical officer <---- I think nearly everyone has that one mandatory Orion in skimpy outfits.
A Nausicaan Tactical officer <---- He's my oldest warrior, created shortly after I started playing back when you had to get to Fed lvl 6 before making a KDF captain.
I of course have toons in the other factions, one of each "class" in each faction. But I rarely use them.
Go forth my fellow warriors and bring glory to your houses and the Empire, QAPLA'!
