Has there been any talk about klingon "diplomacy"?
The klingons variant would not be called diplomacy but "subjugation (SXP)" or something to that nature. Klingons would gain subjugation xp from the below lists.
Anyways, here is the breakdown
Fed vs. Klingons
1. Scan minerals, plants, probes.....Minerals, plants, probes can be tagged for beam up
2. Scan anomaly cluster mission.....Raid a transport
3. Aid the planet.....Threaten the planet (klingon variants could be explosives, crop killers, etc...)
4. First contact......Tactical invasion: lead a conquering force by choosing what it should do. (invade, retreat, what area to attack, where to fortify....this is all determined by the player but an "adviser" will provide tactical information) retreat will obviously give the minimal amount of SXP or none at all.

* Transwarp Drive (Klingon base/sector space warp)
I think I covered everything, almost the same as the fed's but not quite.
Disclaimers: I am unsure how many star bases Klingons have so perhaps they can warp to the center of a static sector?
I am not a Star trek buff, so I pulled the ranks out of google searches(sorry if they are wrong or inappropriate)
Just a suggestion, no need to even acknowledge this thread, but would be cool if someone did :P
Maybe there could be a pvp option where a fed player defends while a klingon player invades the same planet? Just an idea
P.S. I could probably do most of this with the current foundry so it isn't too far fetched for implementation, but whatever; an idea is just that until someone uses it.
there are only 2 Bases for the KDF in this game (i don't think there is any canon source of how many bases any of the factions realy have, but o would guess anything from 200 - 500, so we will never see that many in the game. Only the federation starbase numbers are known to a point at Memory Alpha. ).
Quo'nos and Ganalda Station
we allready have a Transwarp to Quo'nos
so that leaves only Ganalda Station.
in theory we could also add a Transwarp to that Devidian Series station (what's the name again?)... but that is a neutral Station and in the same sector block as Ganalda, i'd rather see some new Base in the Pi'Canis sector that just got opened up for the KDF.
But i certainly want to see Catian and Trill BO'ffs in Orion Slave Girl outfits as a Reward of that system ;P
or Ferengi and Tellarites in Nausicaan Armors ;P
This is just my take on a klingon diplomacy system. I tried to make the system closely resemble the federation's (so coding would be way more easier then starting from scratch. This way the frame can be copied from the federation's.)while adding some twists to make it unique. I felt like I achieve that.
Right now I am feeling that this is a really good idea but the klingon faction would rather have something else so there just isn't enough interest to make a variant of this happen.
I think Rura Penthe should have some part in these missions. Perhaps they can move the planet out a little bit?
I would like to see a different reward than Enemy BOff though. Maybe some kind of Kronos One paint job for our ship. It could give it some kind of diplomatic look with all the red and gold. As for the uniform I would suggest this uniform, cape and sash.
As for titles I would like to see Disinformation Officer, Military Governor, Imperial Overseer and Imperial Ambassador.
Like your idea, seems easy for the Devs to implement. As long as they never make a true "diplomatic" option for the Klinks, which I'm pretty sure they never will!
I heard the Romulans will have an espionage version of the FDC so it makes sense the KDF should have something I wonder what the talk is like about this subject.
I like this idea. Obviously. But there are many similar topics. At least 3 others by my Count. Z3R0B4NG's, Grox's, aaaaand mine. Mine was the first! :P

* 1: Ya'nora Kor (Leadership Challenge): an House-aligned PC or NPC challenges the player'ss leadership: it can revolve around a duel or even doubt cast on the honor of the player (which uses an First Contact series of challenge questions from Klingon lore).
* 2: Assassination: This may only be done by players. Since there is no perma-death in STO - this is designed to remove a Governor or the House leader from power. While ideally other Houses or factions attempt the coup, members of the house may actually hire the assassins. Succesfully defeating the attacker reveals the origin of the attack, allowing the House leader to marhsall his/her forces and dispose of the assassin's sponsor.
* 3: Festival: These range from marriages within the faction or public observances like the commemoration of Kahless the Unforgetttable striking down Molor. This event can take place at a number of locations. It is a matter of honor to have the event well-paid for: it costs considerable energy credits and other resources to run a festival but it improves the morale if successful.
* 4: Feud: Members of the House are fighting. One of the systems controlled by the House grants fewer resources than normal. Responses include either rallying the disputing parties against the greater enemy or simply fighting them
* 5: Natural Event: 80% chance of a disaster striking your holdings - be it a famine, inclement weather, disease, . There's a 20% chance of good conditions: like bountiful harvesting/mining or peak training weather. The former reduces resources earned by 1/2; the latter increases them by 1/2.
* 6: Corruption/Crime: A system has fallen to rampant corruption - you must subdue the criminals for later execution or punishment in your ship's brig. "It's a pity Captain Sisko frowns on summary executions." - Martok
* 12-15: System Defense (Marauding Pirates/Enemy Factions): Enemy factions (i.e. hostile pirates or enemy fations) are trying to take down a base in your system. Deal with this - ensuring the fewest resources are lost (Personnel/Buildings on ground; Ships/Satellites in space). You'll have a random 15 objects to defend (and they're NOT invulnerable) - so it's key to have your House (and her fleets) ready.
* 16: Intrigue: A contact on a remote world must be captured for information that will help improve the standing of your house. You must take him to your ready room or war room and explain your priorities as a representative of your house (random variables determine how the NPC feels on each topic). "You can wound a man without ever seeing his face." - Martok
* 17-18: Unrest or Rebellion: A challenge to your leadership needs quelling. Failure to prevent this attack results in the status being reduced to discontent. Discontent systems will leave your house if failed again. Storing the rebels aboard your brig and learning their motivations will help you quell the riot. They are shamed and lose honor - leaving you the option of terminating them or banishing them.
* 19: Matter of Justice
* 20: Anomalies - comets passing a system, an unkown vessel (i.e. V'Ger),

how about adding gorn, nausicaan, orion etc home planets and sectors. then adding missions content for those areas. this would help flesh out the klingon faction.
i'm not sure if those planets are in game atm truthfully, but the ideas there now

Hey great idea! Some of these missions could involve keeping some of these KDF members from revolting as well.

Good idea, simple, yet effective.
I like it!
Thanks man, at least someone does.

so i did read your post...

EPIC WIN!
I definitely want to see this, would make me want to start playing my Klinks again
