There's got to be more to it than a simple nerf. If Cryptic are allowing their artists to work on the KDF character models, then surely a KDF push (even if a small one) is on the works? If everything was being catered for the FED, then there would be no work being done on the KDF character builds. Right?
In the recent Priority One Podcast, Geko mentioned wanting DOFFing rewards revamped, so that rarer missions rewarded better than they do now. I'm sure that this is just a first step in working that out. It's nice to know that there's always a "Chicken Little" ready to proclaim that the sky is falling. :rolleyes:

I would say the other races in the kdf should get some love as well. Bigger nausicaans, anything dirfferent for the orion males, bigger gorn. Do a pass on the Letheans.
New home of the Romulan Republic.
I have an idea for what Season 11 should be; Season 11: The Big Bug Fix.
I have not been able to read my bug tickets in over a year, not even the tickets about not being able to see my tickets.
I find the drama of your signature proof of your immaturity, this means you, DR whiners.
So I had a few more ideas....but for the life of me I cant remember what they where except for two.
1. Add the Nausicaan ground weapons as playable, you know the ones with the green energy arcing all over them.
2. Make Ferengi PLAYABLE on both KDF and Rom. There are several Ferengi on Qonos and to be frank (yeah I know, "Hi Frank!!!" har har) despite the Ferengi government having a loose association with the Feds I don't see every single Ferengi marauder, pirate and lowlife wanting to go near the Feds and their rules. With the Klingons being much more open to pirating, pillaging and taking your neighbors lawnmower I can easily picture many of said scumbags working in and around the Empire, provided they work out the details with the leaders of the great houses that is.

But Suppress Gorn Uprising is rare.
That said, that logic isn't incorrect. But they're seriously overbalancing the XP gain in the direction of grind til you die, instead of reasonable steady progress.

1. Hell yes.
2. I picked up a ferengi boff for my KDF aligned romulan (through T4 maurading completion, you get one off-faction bridge officer) and it has made an incredible amount of sense.
Ferengi for all (which you don't have to grind through an entire Doff profession to get) would make for a very happy me.

Any chance you'll make Gorns bigger.
I noticed some Gorn NPCs are massive, but the player versions are tiny in comparison.
Kind of kills the joy of being the biggest possible Gorn when npc gorns tower over you.
Just need MOAR female Klingon hairstyles, and more importantly outfits which must have <ahem> "Puppy Windows". (.)(.)
TNG, DS:9 and ST:V all had Female Klingon's in various "dresses", so there are plenty of ideas around.
I especially like the outfit and hairstyle of Ch'Rega, from the ST:V episode 'Prophecy'
(and one of my favourite interaction sequences between her and Neelix )
Ah ha! I remembered. The first one I think has been requested many, MANY times, but I am going to request it anyway.
Expanded color palette! PLEASE!!!
Next one is not exactly Klingon exclusive, but I am bringing it up because of the lack of KDF costume options compared to others.
Unified Costume Tab
All the costumes in one spot. If I want to combine my cocktail dress with some heavy armor I should be able to. I should be able to combine pieces from the Honor Guard, Dyson and Delta armor costumes to make the most kick a...butt armor of all!!
That said, that logic isn't incorrect. But they're seriously overbalancing the XP gain in the direction of grind til you die, instead of reasonable steady progress.
this isn't a full revamp... it's just a first step they're taking. that said I'm quite curious to see what step 2 is.

Cocktail dress, honor guard boots, a dagger, crazy hair, two pairs of sunglasses, and Kobali pyjama pants will be what I will show up in on my next ground pve.
I did actually check the date of this thread because I really, honestly, truly, really thought it must've been an April Fools joke.
Just logged in. The knee high boots are niiiice. I'm dying to get my hands on the new T6 ships next. Looking forward to further improvements. Thank you for throwing us some love.
ps A costume tab would be an awesome idea. Just a way to sort the costumes/toons. Changing clothes at the tailor usually involves this kind of process: "Okay. Clicking "Load"... oh mystical black box, thou hath frozen my screen in preparation for delivery of the great bounty of all six thousand racks of my costumes I've requested from the great sky server..."
ps ps One of the reasons I made a Klingon alien is because I wanted to make a Klingon (my guy is a quasi hybrid, but all Klingon at heart) that actually looked more real, as well as big and tough like you'd expect to see.

I can dig it.
Edit: Yet another idea comes to mind. The TR rifles. They should have a different look depending on who is using them. If its a Fed they keep the look they have now, but if it is a KDF officer the TR should LOOK like a KDF weapon. So many great KDF sniper models already in the games just pick one, though if it where me I would go with the Adapted Sniper look, that thing screams KDF more then any other sniper.

Well to be clear THIS is a KDF character asset revamp. THAT (the thing he was referring to) is just an alarmist's reaction to a Doffing bug fix.
Anyway my bet on step 2 (referring to THIS not THAT) is a Fel'Khri episode revamp (with a further bet on a S11 release date) with perhaps a couple of other KDF updates (ex. revamped Qo'Nos) if cryptic is feeling particularly fiesty.

I'm liking these updates, at last some love to the KDF that is long overdue. :cool:
I'd like to add my voice to the chorus of people asking for the Dahar Master long coat, something that is desperately wanted among KDF players. Tbh we've been asking for it, for years, we live in hope.
Now if only the Klingon TOS Thigh high boots, and a slightly longer the fed skirt were availible. *sigh*
Remember how the two female crew were dress aboard the Klingon ship that Riker flirted with?) They were not quite wearing the male warrior type clunky foot gear. And the camera did pan back at one point and give us a pretty good look at how they were dressed. Intimidating, and "Not Klingon Male" And lets see, how about the Klingon woman Riker whipped up for Worf when he was given Q powers for a short time.
.... Riker and Klingon women... Ya know, ya gotta wonder...
The KDF need these changes. But we desperately need Use of the various other Klingon melee weapons. At least the d'k tag and met'leth and maybe the Gin'Tak spear.

just a little thing to add; when kdf toons beam to their ships, they use an invisible device on their arm. maybe you could attach a wrist attach like the one available for the roms.
i know, it is a detail, but this detail makes me crazy :P
