Nice Video about Season 11 so we know what star fleet is doing.... So what is the KDF up to after the war and what will the Romulans do after the Iconian war.That isn't said in the video or in a briefing will Cryptic say what will happen to the two other factions ? Common Dev's like to know what my empire will do after the war !! And I bet the Romulan faction like to know what will happen to them as well...

The Empire will either find a new enemy to fight, or break down into a Civil War.
We already saw that an idle Empire doesn't work so well... During TNG, the Empire had problems with renegades and internal conflicts between the houses, that lead to the Gowron/Duras Civil War.
J'mpok probably realized this soon enough, which is why he used a terribly lame excuse of Undine infiltrators to attack the Federation. And even that didn't stop house Torog from trying to undermine the High Council.
Romulan Republic
The Republic will join the Federation in its exploration tasks - with a specific goal to secure new worlds and resources for itself, to help the Romulan people recover from its losses after the Hobus incident, the Tal'Shiar and the Iconian War.

Of course the Federation is smarter than the Klingons. You can just ask Ambassador Sokketh on Vulcan about the myth of the Undine threat
I didn't say the Undine threat was a myth. But what exactly did ending the Khitomer Accords and starting a war with the Federation accomplish in terms of dealing with the Undine threat?
Exactly, it helped the Undine and the Iconians because KDF and Federation lost soldiers and ships in a pointless war between each other.
The Klingon Empire's action make no sense if they tried to actually deal with the Undine threat. One would have expected that after the prelude to the Dominion War, the Klingons would be smarter, but no, shape-changers are still a great way to make the Federation and the Empire enemies. And it's not the Federation's fault.

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!

I love it when you talk dirty hahah ( Q Quotes )
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
But it doesn't matter what the Klingons knew and what the Federation didn't or refused to believe - it's still no justification to start a war with the Federation. Especially if you know there are enemies waiting in hiding, you don't waste precious resources of yourself and your (former) allies on some side adventure.
Which is unfortunate.
The Devs showed what they can accomplish with the revamped KDF tutorial. When they are pointed in another direction. So the talent and ability are present and accounted for. I'm guessing the real bottlenecks are, in order:
1) CBS
2) Money
3) Production manhours.
Star Trek Online is an entertainment business. Businesses have to be profitable to survive. Businesses are the very most conservative of organisms. If a product or service is profitable, any business will continue to produce the same product or service as long as it continues to be profitable. They will ring in changes on it, such as calling it by a different name or offering it in a different color. However, The basic idea will remain unchanged.
Why do you think there are so many different Reputations and Lockbox ships, hmmm? Because they have been profitable. Profits make payroll. And pay the electric bill for the servers to keep running. And pay the license fees to CBS. And all the other overhead. And at the end, there should be a little left over for the owner and shareholders.
Businesses which do not profit or remain profitable expire. I would like to see the KDF and the Republic get the same care and attention Starfleet does. But it has not happened in any of the series, either. Nor the films. So the Devs are following precedent established by others. Starting with Gene himself. How many episodes or films paid exclusive attention to either the KDF or the Star Empire with no mention of Starfleet at all? Granted, there were more than a few which featured Klingons and Romulans as a central part of the plot or storyline. But they were featured, not the sole focus of the episode or film.
Although if the Devs ever do give the KDF and the Republic the love and attention a lot of us think they deserve, I'd be among the first to stand and cheer.
I would definitely support it as well...regardless of what was done in the shows or movies the online game should set a precedent and go in a direction that benefits all players.
We come in peace ,shoot to kill
At best you'll have the KDF as a separate group from Starfleet doing different things, but they'll all be as one. The Federation's problems are already the Klingons' problems and vice versa now too given the Admiralty system's three campaigns seemingly being accessible to all (unless I've really misread it).
Plus these multi faction games got big after 2004 with WOW. When Star Trek basically died, it didn't have time to adapt.
For an example you can look at LOTR and Hobbit films. First 3 films had barely touched evil characters while 10 years later Hobbit had fully fleshed out evil characters (Bolg, Azog, Smaug etc) with complete backstories.
Anyway Star Trek franchise currently has no leadership. JJ just crapped on ST's legacy.
It was ment to be shown to potential new players during STLV. Which (shock!) are mostly into the Federation. It was a marketing decision.
Also, they will both be engaging the Terran Empire around DS9 and the Badlands.

Right the undine, I'm sorry my mistake, because the undine infiltrate the federation and probably the klingons yes there was a reason for war... that was also the setup in the story....
"Coffee: the finest organic suspension ever devised. It's got me through the worst of the last three years. I beat the Borg with it."
At best the Undine situation was just a false pretense to motivate the war.
This. With an appropriate model revamp. The best one we have right now (T5U Fleet) is the most bugged and inaccurate ship in all of STO.
"Let them eat static!"
and about telepathic mercs with head exploding powers looking to prove themselves to absolute hating of undine klingons?
I would say with the relatively intact state of the homeworld during surface tension and the fact undine blow up ESD as a distraction for a planet killer to get an open to destroy Qo'noS. the empire is probably not infiltrated enough to cause the empire to do anything. just the fact of shapeshifters turning a former ally into enemy is enough for the klingons to go to war. it's not like the empire is a group of peace loving explores who need to lie to themselves about their expansionist desires. they tend to go to war for the reason they say, even if some of the higher ups tend to push for war because klingons tend to get antsy when at peace.
