Suggestion for PvP warzone sector.

Reading through some of the recent articles it has been mentioned that the devs are working on adding a new sector between the Klingon and Romulan territory.
I think this could be a golden opportunity to add some serious PvP content. Since launch the story has said the Federation and Klingons are at war, but can anyone honestly say that it feels like there is a war going on? For the most part in episodes I've been helped by Klingons way to often for this to feel like a war, not to mention areas like Defera and Nukara where both sides factions can actively help each other.
So I think it is a perfect time to add in a new system where they could do large scale PvP. It could be modeled as a cross between the Kerrat warzone and the Defera Borg Invasion. Except this one would have seperate spawn points for each faction.
Players of either faction at any level could come and compete against each other in a variety of ways that would net short-term rewards for the entire faction. They could spread it across a few planets where each one had a themed type of matchup constantly going.
Matches could range from:
-zone control where you fight to seize defend the most hotspots
-capture the flag where there is some special item/buff that makes a person it and you gain points by staying it the longest, with the winning faction being the one that gains a set number of points first
-Kerrat style race to be the first to capture a set number of scans or other such thing
-straight up deathmatches
-VIP NPC escort/assault scenarios
-etc
Of course all of these should have space and ground variations.
They could also have a special event each weekend where for 48 hours all players can compete against each other to earn faction points, where at the end of the event the faction that earned the most total faction points across all events will be declared winner and will be declared controller of that area for a week during which time members of the faction would recieve a small bonus of some sort, then it would reset at the next weekend event and everyone would try again to gain faction advantage.
Examples of possible rewards could be stuff like:
-a small attack or defense buff
-a small exp or fleet mark bonus
-limited time access to special doff assignments
-an additional daily dilithium mining assignment
-an additional daily lore mission giver
-limited time access to a special vender with unique items
A setup like this would help breath new life into the player vs player setup, while also feeding into the narrative that there is a war going on. Having the special weekly event where a faction-wide reward could be earned would also help give a sense of accomplishment and pride to playing each faction.

I just don't see Cryptic doing anything major with PvP until they can change the whole system.
