I personally feel there's no point in having Captain's Table at all:
1. Can't use it as a transwarp portal (Like starbases)
2. Can't get to it directly (Need to transwarp to Sol > Captain's Table), most of the stuff is already available at ESD, why bother going to Captain's Table at all?
3. Mostly deserted, no one is ever at Captain's Table
The only thing i find the place appealing is how it looks and cool NPCs inside.
In summary, its one useless place.
Make the place more useful so Vets would use it and become the envy of F2P players plus enticing them to become subs/LTS.
Some ideas:
1. Make Captain's Table transwarp hub to all corners of galaxy
2. Add a daily mission NPC which grants Rom/Omega/Dil
3. Make it accessible from anywhere (Not having to go through 2 loading screens)
4. Special vendors for stuff, could be just cosmetic/costumes
Yeah the Captain's Table has been kind of pointless since it was put in. At first not only was it no better than ESD, but it was actually worse because there was no tailor and other important NPCs over there!
Now the only real reason to use it is if you don't want to be annoyed by throngs of people spamming chat. It is kind of peaceful in that way. It's a good place to complete an important trade, I suppose.
There is a discussion in the General Discussion section about the Captain's Table. One of the ideas was having a door in every social area that would allows two-way access for people to go to the Captain's Table. So you can go from ESD to New Romulus by making a quick detour through the Captain's Table. That is kind of how the Captain's Table worked in the Star Trek Novels. People did not go through a nebula to get to it.
