What playing KDF side means to you?

I see allot of arguments in general that usually get flooded with fed players bashing kdf players and making excuses for this and that all while failing to objectively read and think through the issues.
So what id like to ask KDF players, NOT FEDS is what does the KDF represent for you?
For me:
its a fantasy Escape from the current Liberal real world we have to deal with. political correctness, tree hugging, takes a village, save the whales, anti war , free healthcare and all that sort of stuff.
So when ever here even in the forums i tend to stay in char as i do in game.
I want a strong independent Empire to escape too, If i wanted the live long and prosper experience id play a fed. if i wanted the shady back room, stab you in the back deals id play a rommy.
No i want a straight forward. no nonsense loud mouth warrior that says what he thinks about whoever or whatever he wants with no regard to who is around. Just as its explained by Worf to his fellow DS9 cronies on their covert mission.
For me the KDf was this escape. but not so much with the arrival of LoR and most defiantly not since DR.
(LoR did atleast open up KDF to play from start so ill give it that , and the beginning missions revamp)

Trophies for killing FEDS ahh those were the days.

Playing KDF allows me to run a K'tinga-class ship... my personal favorite ST ship.
It also allows me to get away from the Federation (Zone chat, and other idiocies) and to simply enjoy the game.

2. I always thought the ships were scary and cool looking when I was a kid. I liked it when Kirk and the rest appropriated the BOP, because I could see more of it.
3. No Earth Spacedock.
4. The game makes no sense as a Fed. Bashing and blowing things up makes perfect sense from a Klingon perspective.
5. I've no idea why, but KDF players are better. Never failed a PUG with all KDF players. Ever.
#2 i love there ships
#3 i have played fed and rommie and despise both factions
#4 Klingon's may not have as many ships as the fed scum,err i mean feds but we give as good as we take,
#5 Cause there Klingons...enough said
factions are too much the same and not seperated enough to get any sort of immersion out of it. Most people I've met are playing both factions with the same frequency, every fleet I've been in has had a counterpart on the other side for their fed chars. So imho, they're the same.
In the past 4 years I've met the same percentage of decent people and *******s on both sides, I've seen awesome groups and complete failures in PvP on both sides and out of literally thousands of queue events (both through channels and PuGs) there have been the same amount of morons and overachievers.
Most of the times it's even hard to tell which faction someone belongs to (thanks to Trill and Alien species) when meeting them on neutral ground, without selecting them.
When I play the Fed/Rom missions, I'm oftenly thinking "Who the hell are these jokers?"
There's always something attractive about being the underdog.
And all I ask is a cloaked ship and a star to steer her by,
And the disruptor's kick and the torpedo's song and the cloak's shaking,
And a debris field against black space, and a red dawn breaking.
I must go up to the stars again, for the call of the warp reactor aligned,
Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied;
And all I ask is a warrior's task with the birds of prey flying,
And the warp plasma spray and the shattered hull, and my enemy's dying.
I must go up to the stars again, to the vagrant Klingon life,
To honor's way and a victorious day, where the solar wind's like a whetted knife;
And all I ask is a tale of honor from a laughing fellow-warrior,
And flagons of bloodwine and a bloodied bat'leth when the long trick's over.
My Klingon characters are not so nice. They'll accept a non-violent solution if it can be done honorably and it's best for the Empire but otherwise: Battle! And Hassan The Undying? Not any more.
On top of that, like some other people in this thread, I'll always root for an underdog. I'm somewhat surprised that the KDF (and Romulans) are so underrepresented in this game. Do that many players really only play Fed? Talk about boring! I have a couple of Fed characters, but the Federation is the least interesting faction in this game!

It means bending over and getting shafted.
This is moderately offensive to people who play Fed, I consider myself a decently Intelligent player and have gotten more out of my Gal-X than most people get out of thier lockbox shinies, you seem to be missing the fact that since there are more Feds there will be more morons too, I've personally seen my share of idiotic KDF players so you can't make generalizaitons like that and be accurate.
That said, I have to agree with most of this, yes KDF is somewhat overlooked, I have yet to buy a ship that I like 100%, I do, however, like being able 'Vape' NPC's at low levels, and KDF does have more... creative hangar pets for their carriers. (Really waiting for a T6 Vo'quv
Look, the reason there are so many bad Fed players is the same reason the Feds get more shinies: There's more Fed players, period, so the stupid gets concentrated on that side.

So far I've got vaqwI'nab reserved for my future B'rel, which translates as "plan mocker", or as my crew affectionately calls her, "mock the plan". Also, awaiting patiently for a D7, I have here ghawran mInDu' maw' (Gowron's crazy eyes), for despite his many shortcomings, none can deny that he's got the Klingonest stare.
That's regarding my Klingon character. I'm yet undecided what to call my Delta Gorn's Vo'Quv. One shouldn't rush those things anyway.
Oh, and if anyone snatches my ideas, I'll find you Zod-style and SNAP YOUR HANDS WITH MY NECK!

Love that! :P:P:P
Duty is the first. It is the beginning and the end of the warrior's path. Without duty a warrior becomes a slave of aimless glory and reckless self-interest. Polish this blade; sharpen it until there is nothing it cannot pierce.
The longest blade is that of Honour. It is the most difficult to master. Honour is my life, that in I will live and that in I will die. Truth, courage and forthrightness; Honour encompasses all, yet is more. The fire that illuminating the difference between an armed savage and the true warrior, and the light that will guild along the warrior's path.
All true warriors travel the same river of blood, as one is disgraced, all are disgraced, and as one finds his death in glory, so do we all find glory. A warrior would not allow another to suffer unjust disgrace or begrudge him the fruits of a well-earned victory. That is why the final blade signifies Loyalty, as we are all bound by the common journey.

I think this mostly covers it. I started out as a Fed, then when I got to lvl 20 I rolled a KDF. I played both characters pretty evenly. However there was too much abuse on the Federation side, people looking up the skirts of mt female characters, abused because I wasn't flying a Galaxy, Sovereign etc, abuse because I wasn't playing the game their way. I've never had any of that on the KDF side, players have been helpful, offered advice when they thought I needed it but never pushed the issue. KDF players know how to work as a team, half the Federation player base don't know how to communicate or play in a team mission like and STF etc.
To sum it up other than the points quoted above, the community are a lot nicer and friendlier, zone chat isn't full of dribble and abuse like Fed only zones are. I can play the game without some random coming up and abusing me for no apparent reason except that they can. While LOR has changed things a little, it's still mostly the same. It's the unfortunate truth, but the Klingon missions are so much fun, and the entire faction is closer to canon, than the Terran Empire, uh I mean Federation.
1.) Getting to use the KDF ships I paid for that came with the Delta Rising pack.
2.) A contraband farmer, so I can stop buying it off the exchange at inflated prices.
3.) Playing a Female Orion with pasties for a uniform.
4.) Not having to be on ESD.
That's all I got.
oh god yes i freaking hate that my gorn goes all ''muhhonor'' on me and hell Klingons use honor just like a certain group is using Islam a dodgy justification to conduct genocide and start pointless wars for more territories
Now whats wrong with saving the planet you live on and free healthcare (thats something many people would start a Civil War over if they could get it) that bothers you so much? If you are a Klingon just remember Praxis
that said: What i love about my new Klingon Recruit is that i don´t have to be so Diplomatic. If someone annoys me i can solve that problem with a Bat'leth in a few minutes instead of having to Talk for hours or days.
The Ships are gorgeous. Fast, strong,intimidating and without useless decorations or other stuff that no one needs
