Nam, Yes… you can play a Klingon. It’s an unlockable race, but it unlocks shortly after starting your Fed career.

I’m very disappointed in Cryptic’s handling of Champions Online. I cut them a bunch of slack, but when they introduced the Blood Moon event, they made changes to their rendering engine that has caused frame rate hitching every few seconds. Even if I turn all graphics settings to low….hitching. I’ve tried working with their support, but frankly… they are idiots.

So, I have trepidation about STO. Cryptic is not yet in the same light that I hold on SOE… but they are getting there.
