My Take on Age of Disco

I just got around to updating my STO account and gave the Age of Disco mod a try. The very first thing I noticed was the one sided, no option to join KDF, must be Starfleet. This brings the score to Federation 5 and Klingons 3. I am only guessing PvP as Klingon must suck, if it is being done at all.
I made a stupid little alien with a ginormous forehead and started to play The Age of Discovery. The tutorial was very stale and felt much like that old Foundry "Water the Bush". Tilly got on my nerves rather quickly, I prayed to God and my prayer was answered that she did not join my team.
I gave the class the motivational toast, that soon we will all die in honor of serving the Federation. They strapped me in as the Executive Officer aboard my ship, which meant Captain Red Shirt had very little chance of retirement. There was only 3 parts to this new mod, which smelled a lot like the The Original Series mod. Sadly the first part all tutorial and rather slow.
The most action was defending the mining colony, but it felt slow. The ending was predictable and after an hour of play, I was done, and back in the 25th and ½ century. I then exited and deleted my character... because we all know the rest.

But you don't know the rest, and this is NOT an expansion, but a Season, meaning, as they have already said numerous times, more missions to come over the next year.
Other than the Walker Class leveller ship which becomes obsolete as it only scales to T4 and the Europa class the other 2 ships the T6 Walker and Crossfield are lobi and lockbox respectfully so not wildly available. So other than the Europa at this moment in time there's not even a nice selection of Discovery Era ships to immerse yourself in at end game to purchase from the C-Store
Hello rubber banding my old friend, time to bounce around the battlezone again, where are all my bug reports going?, out of love with this game I am falling, As Cryptic fail to acknowledge a problem exists, Shakes an angry fist, And from Support all I'm hearing are the sounds of silence.
The history of the game (I have been here for a while) they made us rank up Feds just to get a Klingon, which made the PvP 50 Federation to 1 Klingon warrior. I don't PvP all that much, but there is no real KDF love in this game. I am still offered a 5 to 3 ratio for joining SF over KDF. At least, with The Original Series season, you get original uniforms and the classy classic starship. This one gave me a uniform that came off the rack from the moldy oldie Enterprise TV series. I really didn't see any "perk" to making a DISCO toon. This season is a much ado about nothing.
"no real KDF love in this game".....then explain why KDF has more unique missions than 2409/DSC Feds and Jemmy's? Even more so now Fed missions have been removed. Explain the new FED/KDF ships that have been released.
This game was not made with KDF in mind. I too have been around an awful long time. When the KDF was rejigged to add levelling from 1, they received a great storyline, which still is BIGGER then the Fed's story, including updates to those missions. Only Romulans have significantly more stories than anyone.
Saying that, if you watched the Live-streams, then you'd know that KDF DSC is possible (as other races have also been touted), but they'd need the metrics to back it up.
All this new season is doing is adding a new starting route for DSC fans, on top of missions for everyone else to play. Other than starting in the DSC, there are no other perks. Just because you deem it poorly written, like others who just don't like the source material, doesn't mean it actually is. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and everyone must remember that.
That may be but almost all the disco toons I see are 700 day veterans.
I do wonder how many of those 0 are feds and KDF.
Everyone got a free slot as normal with a new faction so most Vets will level an alt for the admiralty system/dil farming.
Agreed, we need another recruiting event about as much as we need another reputation or more server lag.

100 % of the players in the queue are Fed, and 100 % of them are KDF.
100 % are also from the mercenary faction.
