I totally agree.

Cmon guys come clean.

I understand beta and all, but the current state of the klingon and federation for that matter indicate that this game was originally designed to have only 1 faction....Starfleet.

Then at some point during development (late development) some one decieded to "throw in" klingons.

This Ad Hoc approach to game design has now preseted you with a perma-gimped faction that is equivalent to me turning on my PS3 and waiting in a 3d gaming lobby for the next multiplayer patch.

be honest with your player base... there was a serious design flaw somewhere during development.

Um....yes. They have mentioned that quite a few times in the past two months.

Klingons will get content soon enough.

Casey Jones · 01-25-2010, 08:36 AM

It's pretty obviously what happened..

But as far as perma-gimped.. all the klings are lacking are episodes and clusters.. it will come in time. I don't see the point of this thread, beyond stating the obvious

To salvage this game soon enough needs to be BEFORE the free month is up... 45day isnt gonna cut it. because the free month is up and once its uninstalled its uninstalled...(just like Aion)

There needs to be a media BLITZ regarding Klingons and the content forthcoming. and it MUST arrive b4 the 30days is up. If not this game will be another MMO that "COULD" have been awazing but devs went after $$$ rather than put their name on a decent product.

GET KLINGONS TO GOLD STATUS DEVS! (b4 45days)

Well there goes Captain Obvious...
But, Ok I'm gonna get technical here... Federation is in game. Klingons are in game. Borg are in game. Romulans are in game. Oh theres more but lets stick with these. Only two are currently playable, one definitely more than the other. Technically there are more than 4 factions in the game...
And yeah Klingies are gonna get more stuff, and if we scream loud enough at them they should give us Romulans to play as.

TBH when Cryptic probably took over this game and got stuck with a game that had no pvp in it.

Hanzo · 01-25-2010, 08:46 AM

Ummm they already said Klingon's were a late addition and they are going to be adding content for them post release....

incorrect! when cryptic got the game from perpetual, there were only some 3d models and artist rendering. There was no game just a design which they (perpetual) admitted there would be NO klingon faction.

in the original concept there was JUST starfleet. Perpetual interviews confirm this. but then crptic bought it and REBUILT it from the ground up.

so this is all Cryptic, this is their baby and sadly their shotty workmanship. I think they bit off more than they could chew.

I mean seriously I installed Starfleet command 3 lastnight and that game (while graphically dated) is more fun, more detailed, and when i played onlnie i was actually able to play in a universe with more than 20ppl.

theres no excuse for SFC3 > STO thats just lazy developers and greedy publishers

I think Klingons were planned early on, but they ran out of time to put everything in for them.
