The simple truth is the Fed players blew through all the Missions the first month of the game over 2.5 years ago too, and have gotten nothing new since then. And on top of that we're expected to financially support the entire game via the C-Store.

Two years without any new missions? Hate to break it to you friend-o, but you in that two years time have received 20 missions to the Klingon 9, PLUS new dailys (which are your sorties). They're called Featured Episode series and I know, I know, you are SO hard done by there because Klingons can play them too. Despite the fact that they are very plainly written to be Fed centric in their events and outcomes and we get the token dialogue fluff change to make it so "uniquely" Klingon we've totally kept in step with you there. Oh wait, no we haven't. And the nine missions you lament, they came in to be in place of the ZERO missions we had at launch to your fifty eight I believe is the figure? So sorry you blew through an entire game in a month and were all sad face you had to wait for new content, sorry though baby I'm just gonna take your bah now and give you your soother cuz you need stop fussing.

So let me ask you this: there are 21 KDF ships in the C-Store. How many do you own? If you can't say at least 11 it doesn't seem like you're putting much effort into helping your cause. And yes, the cause is financial. If you want to change things you need to do so by having a financial impact not by just preaching fire and brimstone from your pulpit every day.
While you might be 20% of the player-base you're probably not even 3% of the financial base. I seriously doubt KDF players are buying Fed C-Store items each week that they can't use on their KDF just to be financially supportive.

And where precisely is your information coming from for these figures? Oh right, probably from the same place you're talking from. Took me a moment to realize it was you talking, not someone behind you.
To answer your inquiry though I own nearly every ship there is, with the exception of two or three. But you want to know something fun? When we got downsized to a mini faction, the landscape altered another way for us in the KDF. Now ships we used to be able to get simply for advancing in rank suddenly found themselves with a C Points cost as well. So ships like the Kar-Fi, like the B'rel retrofit, all those fun ships? They suddenly in addition to the time it took to grind required cash to obtain as well. So nearly everyone of our ships at top tier has a C Point/ZEN requirement to it. Ergo, we probably do account for more of the figures than you since the only reason we pay for ships is to PVP, which is a realm we have a good amount of representation in being that prior to those dastardly nine missions being added that you had to cool it in Spacedock and not have some new crisis to be Kirk savior too for some time we could only level via PVP or Exploration grind. Big fun right?

At this stage of the game the only financial contribution you're making is probably via Lockbox Keys or buying Zen to sell for Dilithium for Fleetbases. You're certainly not buying C-Store items. Cryptic probably wouldn't even notice you're gone - assuming your impassioned speech could inspire more then a few dozen to leave.
It grows tiring constantly watching the KDF play the minority card: we don't have as much so we deserve more. The simple truth is we all deserve more, whether we're the 20% or the 80%. Just once I'd like Cryptic to say: "Hey Fed players! Here's a new Mission just for you for buying all the C-Store crap over the last 2.5 years!" I'd probably die from a heart attack if they did that.

You must have been away a couple of months ago. They turned around and said exactly that and gave you FIVE new missions! It was called the 2800.
By the way, you really need to mediate that talking from the back thing you do. It's starting to get embarrassing. Like for real, I'm embarrassed for you right now. The idea that you have gotten nothing in the last 2 years to the level the KDF has would be laughable, if it wasn't so sad. And they say WE move the goal posts and are ungrateful? I can only hope somewhere someone reads this shining example of Fed gratitude and shakes their head.
And you know what, I hate to break it to you but you're once again with regards to the C-Store wrong. It must be stunning to live in a world where this drivel is actually thought of as correct. You doubt us to be buying C-Store items? Remember how I just told you that even ships we used to get for FREE now had C cost to them? Want to hear something hilarious? Even though we have actually ALREADY spent money on ships for the KDF in the C-Store? We have to spend it AGAIN to buy Fleet versions whereas you guys get that nice fifteen dollar discount. So you wind up spending five bucks on your ship and when it?s said and done my fleet Tor'kaht ran me fifty to possibly seventy five dollars depending on if I bought the Vor'cha AND the Vor'kang.
The Fleet Scourge? Fifty dollar ship, 25 for the previous version for lower levels that if we're being real was bought for the console, and another 25 for the fleet modules to get it. And to be clear, no we don't HAVE to buy the lower tier ship, but the fact is if we already have prior to the Fleet ships? We get no break in the price on it like the Feds do. Which is fundamentally wrong, but also the way it presently is.
What might cause me to have a heart attack is to see a Fed fan whose actually educated on the issue and does a modicum of research before busting in threads like that to run his mouth for the sake of running his mouth. Chomp on your soother friend, new content will be to you in a months time. Waste time on that Tholian thing if you get bored between now and then. Me I'll just be here, spending double money on ships to create and hone PVP builds.
