Play a KDF character. We have cookies and green women!
The way I see it right now...the main point of each
Federation has exclusive rights to some of the best T6 traits in the game and most populated
KDF has one trait I could really REALLY use for the ships I want to fly, plus don't need to fork out 30million or more for leeches
Romulans have the best Boffs around and are my favorite race.
Definitely going to be making at least one recruit... I'll jump on the bandwagon for the KDF, give it another shot.
Since I'm an engineer junkie, I figure I'll go with a KDF-ally Reman, and fly BoPs for the first 40 levels. Extra cloak ambush duration+flanking seems like a win-win, and I've been wanting to make a Reman.

Thinking Romulan or Orion KDF aligned. Haven't had one yet.

I want to do a Klingon, but I've settled on a Fed because I want to do something entirely outside my comfort zone, and that basically means science vessel. Still debating between engineer and science officer.
I really want to try a torpedo boat. I've done some test alts the last couple weeks, and at least below level 10, it's really, really easy with the buffs to tachyon beam and the way you no longer have to spend expertise to improve boff skills anymore. Once you get your first science officer, they have Tachyon Beam, which completely shreds any enemy's shields at that level, leaving them wide open to torpedoes.
I doubt that'll hold up by the time I hit level 30 or 40, but I can switch to a beam/torp mix by then if I need to.
I've been tossing around the idea of a Sci-heavy BoP ever since Dan mentioned it a long while back... would have to go full KDF to pull it off (not to mention grind out one of two fleet ships again), but it really seems like it'd be a lot of fun. Pure sci with the Fleet Norgh (best BoP seating in the house), or a ridiculous torpedo Sci with the Fleet B'rel (enhanced battle cloak)... gahhhh, choices...

I had a little go but DR killed my KDF alt. I should revisit this idea.
