First off, thank you to Trace_Thorne who started a similar post when the game first went live.
I wanted to post a thread like this because it seems that the community and the developers may have different goals for the long term of this game. With all the changes going on with F2P, I thought this would be a good play to repost this thread. I know we all have varying ideas of what we think a Star Trek MMO should be, so we can add that here as well, just to give the developers our perspective of how we want the game to play. Below you will find an example format for the posts in this thread, which should make it easier for the developers to read each post.
What you expect from a Star Trek MMO
Your perspective on how the game would play if you were developing it.
Example:
A game where I can explore and discover interesting new life and races with unexpected results depending on player choices throughout the mission.
A game focused on group play more so than solo pay.
Short-term requests
These are small things that seem like they could maybe be done within a patch or two.
Examples:
Fixing a graphics glitch on a starship model
Adding additional NPC vendors to starbases
Tweaking something in the way the fleet interface works
Mid-term requests
These are things which realistically would take a couple of months for the devs to do, given dev time, testing, balancing, and so on.
Examples:
Adding more fleet actions past the crystalline entity
Strengthening the death penalty/difficulty
Overhauling Memory Alpha
Long-term requests
These are "direction of the game" kind of things. Stuff that you want them to do over the next year or two of the game's development.
Examples:
More choices in how to complete content - ie, maybe missions with a diplomatic rather than a pure combat solution depending on choices you make during the mission.
More stuff for fleets - fleet-owned starbases, "raid" interfaces that allow fleets to do fleet actions together, etc.
More playable factions (romulans, cardassians, etc)
Disclaimer: All of the examples above are just that, examples. They're not meant for you to agree or disagree with, just to give an idea of what type of requests might fall into each category.

Remove dilithium from crafting, attempt to find a better way to ballance it.
I want the game to offer as many options for play as possible: combat, diplomacy, puzzles, crafting. Star Trek was often about tension, but not about combat. I have blown up thousands of enemies and it never feels like Star Trek. I want STORIES, not endless, mindless, plotless space battle after space battle.
Short-term requests
Mid-term requests
Long-term requests
Reballance small craft to become usefull out of "The Vualt" and allow them to actually become effective in PVP (Most ships have Shuttlebays some in game/combat use could be derived from them out side of the current gimmicks)
Latinum funded torpedo+mine devices. These are consumible devices that the player can restock that stack up to 20 to get special torpedoes and mines, like from quantem to tricobalt that fires off a single torpedo or mine.
Mid Term-
Equality for the KDF content. If there is a Federation piece of content there has to be a piece of KDF content to mirror it.
Long Term-
Single instance PVP warzones fueled by solo players and fleets with territory controll for every planet and starbase.
