For Honor and Glory, welcome to the Year of Klingon. Over the course of 2020, and a bit of 2021, we'll be releasing a major, Klingon-focused storyline, and updating a lot of our older, beloved Klingon content. Find out more:

Year of the Not Real Star Trek Fans!!! YAY!!!
I would have preferred a Klingon story line without J'Ula.
Please remember to test these visual changes with the following features turned on and off:

I actually avoid success entirely. It doesn't get me what I want, and the consequences for failure are slim. -- markhawman
But I have to ask, what is going to be done to actually make players want to play KDF? Putting a new coat of paint on a car with rust holes doesn't change the fact that the car is, still, rusted through.

We've talked about this yesterday night, with my fleetmates.
I remain extremely skeptical, and indeed I will be extremely surprised if this new "face-of-the-game changing story" will be anything more than another group of episodes that treats every character as if they're FED, but funnily enough the part that irks me is not any of this.
It's the artists streams: As if they can't just schedule them - and yes, I know that right now they're working in subpar conditions because of the pandemic.
Like, why? What's the point of making streams if you do not announce them? So you can do them at improbable hours, when half the player base will be working and the other half will probably be sleeping? So pretty much no one will watch them? So that you'll have an excuse to say that no one cares?
I don't get it.
Ci sono tre tipi di giocatori:
- quelli a cui non va mai bene niente... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che sono talmente imbesuiti da credere a qualunque cosa i dev dicano, perfino che la luna è fatta di formaggio... e vanno sul forum a trollare;
- quelli che credono a quello a cui è giusto credere, sono d'accordo con quello con cui è giusto essere d'accordo e sono critici con quello che non va;
Ai giocatori dei primi due tipi, gratis in omaggio un bello specchio lucente su cui arrampicarsi. E una mazzata in testa per la loro poca intelligenza e compassione verso gli altri giocatori che non la pensano come loro.
Agli appartenenti al terzo tipo, invece, dico grazie. Anche se non sempre si riesce a mantenere la calma, siete quelli per cui vale la pena incazzarsi.
Even the best blade will rust and grow dull unless it is cared for.
Below is starting list of things that need some love

Ship Interiors
bat'leths and hand-to-hand mechanics in general
I'll just stop there
Don't forget the Alliance Battlecrusier. Do you think that was released without some future plan in mind.
Revamp and 'Reimagine' the early Episodes, making them consistent with current visual/model/storytelling standards.
Update models throughout the other Arcs automatically as the underlying models are updated.
Update KDF ship skins.
Release new Promotion/Lockbox and to some extent C-Store KDF Ships.
Bring back the 'Reimagined' B'vat/Miral Episodes of the Kuvah'magh and Guardian. Do what needs to be done to square with J'Ula.
Everyone resolves the J'Ula nonsense so it's done. No more blood from that stone.
Lead up to the beginnings of the Alliance with more All-Faction Ship Releases.
Prepare for future releases for Discovery Season 3, Picard Season 1 & 2, Section 31, Pike, etc. Smattering some during the above to maximize the Synergy with the on-screen stuff.
l don't know.
l really don't know what l'm about to say, except l have a feeling about it.
That l must repeat the words that come without my knowledge.'
In fact, I hope we'll get to see some - or all - of that content returned to the game given that much of it had already been remastered and didn't need to be removed anyway!
if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
Ships of the Line bundles first, then probably work on T6s for the ships that need them, and then most likely the ships that Cryptic made that have not been seen onscreen.
Romulans are getting a revamp on their tutorial, thanks to ST:Picard.
And (hopefully, mostly because there's nothing confirmed when Al said they might do something about it after players 'unlock' it) they'll get around to opening up the Dominion to include Vorta.
So just because they going to focus on the Klingons, it doesn't mean they aren't doing anything else for the others.
Fascinating.
I have seen Klingon Cosplayers as part of organized fan clubs when I went to Star Trek conventions in Toronto back in the early '90s. Have they been faking it as Star Trek fans?
Since we have the jacket that Lorca wore the last time he was on ST: Discovery that drapes down towards the knees, it shouldn't be a stretch for Dahar Master coat to be made available.
Also, my Star Trek Senses are tingling that Worf's story in ST:Picard is going to be different from what it was back in the day when STO was made. Which means that his involvement is going to change. Plus, it was interesting that they used his appearance from the TNG movies and later DS9 episodes for the Star Trek: Legacy 10th Anniversary video.
I hope they make a uniform for the Alliance Command that has a chest/comm badge as well as the shoulder badge, so there could be some mix matching of the Star Fleet and Klingon symbols (such as wearing the Federation Klingon chest badge while wearing the Klingon arm patch/badge).
well it was never that they couldn't, and stop me if you've heard this excuse before, they have to have someone make one basically from nothing and they just couldn't cause spare anyone... for 6 years now. though to be fair they probably forgot it was a thing.

1) A Klingon Agent benefit to all characters. Play a KDF officer from 0 to hero, rack up on benefits, and then make those available to non KDF characters (my main is a Fed, BTW).
2) A Klingon Reputation, with Klingon Marks. This should get bonus levelling for KDF characters, but when you level it up to max, it should open up story content for Federation characters, relating to the KDF.
3) A remastered KDF early section.
4) A KDF section that has Federation and Klingons working together with Romulans as part of the Alliance.
5) KDF specific modifications to the shared content, such as highlighting that the Feds were stupid ignoring the Undine threat, putting a KDF angle on the Iconian War, etc.
6) KDF ships! Since we can fly T6 ships now from Zero to Hero, you don't have to make many of them, just a good variety. I like well-armed bricks, so a B10 (Yeah, I play SFB! XD) would be good to fly the story through.
7) Some love for the Alliance Battlecruiser. Perhaps an end-game mission console from the Klingon side, that gives the ship an extra Klingon boost, and pairs off with an end-game mission from the Feds and Romulans to give a full 'combined technologies' set.
Forgive my skepticism but I have seen to much content being removed from STO and either not be replaced or replaced by inferior quality content which leave the game broken.
I will try and keep a open mind and see what the dev blogs about it will say.
