Yeah, most players only play on the Federation side, so the developers aren't as keen on providing Klingon-only content. ; They did recently make a new KDF-only mission though, which was given great reviews.

For Steam screenshots, if you haven't figured it out yet, just log into Steam, then View > Screenshots, select the game you want, and you can click Show on Disk. It'll show you the folder for that game's screenshots.

Ah, thanks. And the KDF missions aren't really much, they also boost you up to Commander when you first start up.


Also, so much rrrrreeeedddddd. O.o, so painful to look at, especially your ship's Bridge. Poor lighting galore!

Lol, yeah, the gloomy red scheme was why I couldn't play KDF. XD;

I haven't played much STO lately, both because I've been really busy at work, and also because I haven't been in the mood for online RPGs. ; The refit at work is almost done, so hopefully I will soon have more time to spend here and on STO!

My beloved Shad's Spear

Well, until I somehow get that Engineer Odyssey....

Oooh, wasn't expecting to see STOers here of all places. I've got a lifers sub (got the pre-order as a holiday gift), which means I can make a Liberated Borg toon (think 7 of 9) for Feds or KDF. I have 7 toons: 4 Feds (1 max tactical, 1 max science, 1 max engineer, and 1 low level engineer) and 3 KDF (1 max tactical, 1 max science, and 1 max engineer).

What names you all go by in-game?

[Smiter]

Wow, that's... a lot of characters. You must have pretty much seen everything in the game so far, eh?

I'm on a hiatus at the moment, as it feels like I need some time away from the grind of MMOs, but I have 2 Federation characters:

Sakkhet - Science VA, Male Vulcan - U.S.S. Valkyrie.
Eris P'Trell - Engineering RA43 (I think), Female Andorian - U.S.S. Stalwart.

Both characters have different playstyles, and I'm still trying to find my niché. Eris uses an Excelsior, which seems to fit nicely with my style, but I'm still trying to find a good fit for Sakkhet.

Mine goes by Balian, Engineer, male Alien. USS Shad's Spear.

Lol, I meant the @ names so I could add you to my contacts. As I posted in the tags thread, I'm SF_Shadow_Phoenix.

My 7:
Federation Tactical Male Human Vice Admiral - Advanced Escort
Federation Science Female Liberated Borg Vice Admiral - Recon Science Vessel
Federation Engineer Female Trill Vice Admiral - Fleet Escort
Federation Engineer Female Liberated Borg Lieutenant Commander - Cruiser
KDF Tactical Male Gorn Lieutenant General - Voranus Class Fleet Support Vessel
KDF Science Female Orion Lieutenant General - Vor'Cha retrofit
KDF Engineer Male Nausicaan Lieutenant General - T5 Raptor (forget class name off top of head)

@Smiter: You missed the Featured Episode replay event then. It ended on the 6th, but went all last month. For the week each FE arc was the focus, the limited time rewards were back: Ophidian Cane (Devidian arc), Reman Science Bridge Officer (Romulan arc), Breen Tactical Bridge Officer (Defari arc), Shard Of Possiblities (Dominion arc). The Jem'Hadar bridge officer in the Dominion arc is a permament reward from one of the missions, it seems, though. Though, I have no doubt that they'll do another replay event later on sometime in the future.

I don't know if you missed the Winter Holidays event: they gave out options to get 3 faction based scarves on a character unlock if you could get enough holiday items to trade in. They also gave out Nanopulse Lirpas and Nanopulse Bat'leths that, well, are homages to lightsabers....on a Fed toon, the blades are blue energy, on a KDF toon they are red.

There was also a free preview of the new flagships event at the same time as the First Contact day thing was going on, if I remember right. You got a free Oddy on a Fed toon and a free Bortas on KDF toons. These were prototypes for the later C-Store ships (KDF's flagship is Bortasqu' class instead of the prototype Bortas class, for example). Also, get all 3 C-store versions, and you get all 3 different universal consoles that form a set that, depending on if you have 1, 2, or all 3, adds set buffs (and who can say no to the deployable escort console, lol).

They are also about to release Season 6 sometime this month, so the S6 Tribble Test Weekend will be under way on the Tribble shard. In the past, such events allowed previews of the new season and, if you spent a certain amount of time on the shard, you earned free stuff you could use on Holodeck, the live shard. I got my Borg Tribble, Undine Tribble, Dilithium Tribble, Runabout pet, Crossfire Tribble, and other stuff from previous Season Tribble Test events.

Also, if you don't want to spend real $ on C-points, there is an in-game method with converting dilithium via the Dilithium Exchange.

So, who here is a Silver (free-to-play) account and who is a Gold (pay-to-play)? As I said, I'm a lifer, so I'm technically Gold, though I like to call it Platinum from time to time, lol.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

Also, do we have a KDF guild?

[Abel Nightroad]

I run my clan's KDF branch fleet, but I do have non-clan friends that run their own Fed and KDF branches as well. I don't doubt they'll have no objection to you joining them on either faction.

[shadow_Uzumaki]

I've already joined Smiter's and Kr@zy's Fleet in the Fed side, I need to join one in KDF.... The guild I joined isn't really that good. Can't even deposit samples in the Fleet bank....

I'll inquire to my contacts to see if they have any objections, but I doubt they will. They are a bunch of great guys and gals (yes, I know female STOers, lol). We even have a chat channel set-up that lets us communicate: off-line, in Champions Online, and in Star Trek Online (STO and CO have same chat server and some access it via mobile device).

Contact me in-game and I'll see if I can start the introductions. If you want, I can hop in now and start the ball rolling.

EDIT: I went ahead and made us a dedicated H&E channel for in-game chatting. Poke me so I know who to invite to it.

Season 6 is up, btw. I'm...not really sure how to help out with fleet base construction. Maybe, the Admirals have to instigate it?

Last I was aware, the 'default' settings was only the 'fleet leader' had access to set any projects and donate to them. You have to go into the fleet settings and adjust that. Right now, the Fed fleet I'm in is up to a level 1 fleet base and is building the stuff that it unlocked (level 1 shipyard, level 1 fabricator, et cetera).

Oh, and you can add a male Caitian tactical officer to my character roster, lol....brings me up to 8 toons now.
