There's probably already a thread or two about this floating around about this already but I'm not sure.
So what would you like added to your Fleet Starbase in future updates?
It seems like the special projects that come out are just cosmetic additions to the main lobby of the starbase. The tiers add a bit of functionality and item unlocks to the interior, but not much else.
Some of the things I would like to see added in future updates are listed below:
1. (The one I would like to see the most) Crew quarters where each member of the fleet has an assigned quarters. In your assigned quarters I would like the ability to decorate it a bit with some of your trophy accolades to show off to your fleetmates. Your name and rank on your door. With large fleets you could have multiple decks to accommodate the size. This would be so cool :cool:
2. Have the holodeck be used for foundry missions and allow it to be used to open private instances of social zones like risa, bajor, q's winter wonderland, new romulus, etc for you and your friends to have fun with and role play in. This would be perfect for role players even though I'm not really into that type of play myself.
3. Shuttle bay
4. Astrometrics lab
5. Firing range to test out ground weapons
6. Mess hall

Just generally reasons to actually be there, besides buying fleet weapons/ships. Those are rare events.
There's really not much of any reason to ever go to ours, and that bugs me. I think there should be some sort of Starbase-specific mission queue. Maybe a fleet-only PvE tab of some kind with a couple unique missions that motivates people to actually be there.
The holodeck should be useable too. God, Star Trek shows loved their "holodeck gone berserk" episodes. Some tongue-in-cheek tribute missions to that would be a good nod to the series' history.
So then you'd have both starbase-specific space and ground missions, and people would use the place a lot more (assuming of course they give an actual worthwhile reward, of course, maybe some fleet marks and 480 Dil). That is my main concern with them.
A computer panel of some kind that lets you access the bios of your fleetmate captains. I know not everyone bothers writing one but it would be cool all the same. And it would encourage people to fill them out.

A Drydock where I can take one of my lower tier ships say tier 2-4 and Craft via Doffs or reputation system a console from and Ens to LT. Or Craft a Console to a Universal. Or add Hull points or add turn rate. Granted this upgrades could not make this ship better than a tier 5 but it could allow some customization. Say if you get a level 2 drydock you can unlock the ability to add Hull points, or turn rate, Tier 3 you can upgrade Boff consoles, Tier 4 you can upgrade ship console slots, Tier 5 you can add Wep slots. Max upgrade on curiser would equal a Fleet Heavy curiser, An escourt Fleet defiant, ect. The Drydock would allow you to take a lower tier ship and upgrade it to tier 5 abilities. Or have a Fabracation lab where say if you collect 20 XI DCH from drops along with the correct Doffs and some other items craft a XII purple wep with the modifers you want. Star trek Eng's were famous for tinkering and modding thier ships. Why can we. I would love to craft a ship from scratch.
A more extreme thing to ask for is fleet only modifications to be preformed on your ship and to see it be carried out through a window. It being extreme because of unique animations being seen depending on the upgrade and having to make an animation for every ship in the game.

Love this idea!

I love these two ideas.
What I would like the most, though, is to have some functionality to the limited time (cosmetic) projects.
E.G.:
Tribbles and Targs could give a buff when the member visits the base.
High Security could buff the base during fleet mark runs.
Welcome Guests could add special trade assignments.
The option to pay 200k Dil to get mistakes taken off of the base. *ahem* Works of Art and Staffing. Good riddance.
An exchange.
Some sort of functionality to the limited time cosmetic sinks is what I would like the most.
An occasional time period where the Older Special Projects are 1/3 the cost of what they are now.
For smaller Fleets to get a future chance to actually complete a few.

I would like an NPC that gives massive discounts to Starbase Projects so my little fleet can progress. :P
Not really "added", but more or less a choice of Starbase models, so I can have an OPs deck thats like the KDF station, having recreation (Dance Floor, Bar, Holodeck, etc) on another deck, and Engineering with the Shuttlebay on the third.
Maybe a War / Situation Room that's connected to the OPs area.
- The ability for the starbase to house its members. Each member would have his/her own room which could be designed by them, and also add future decor to it.
- To actually use the holodeck on the starbase
- Random Events, borg attack inside, which would require the fleet to converge on the starbase and help defend it. If you fail... there would be costs "damage" that the fleet would have to pay up. If victory, you gain dil or other rewards.
- To setup statues with plaques that designate certain fleet members (for contributions or other reasons)

I've never bothered to write mine, but I might if it were easy to share like this. I like the idea of a Fleet PvE tab too.

I like the idea of having my own office on the station where I could put up accolade trophies, or decoration options from rewards for fleet PvE missions, some kinda fleet doff missions or reputation missions. Something like that.
I'm in a small fleet, I don't think there's been more than 5 of us on at a time. But, it would be fun to have more of a reason to get together. Like fleet events have to start at the starbase. For other fleet's events you'd get hailed in the ops bay or something.
I'd like to be able to have a fleet starbase logo somewhere. Like in the transporter room, or the big circle in the floor. I know our fleet leader named our starbase, but there's no place cool that it show up. It's only in the fleet UI screen.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though. JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

2. I support the people saying they want to sutomize the interior of the starbase.
3. I support the people who want the fleet logo placed somewhere.
4. I support the person who suggested some way to recognise people who have contributed lots to the Starbase. Maybe not statues, but certainly plaques.
5. I'd like the ability to set my Cannibal Tribble on the tribbles on our Starbase, then the ability to collect the carcasses for shipping to my KDF character.
6. I'd like to see either:
a. Functionality added to the limited time projects,
b. The insane cost of the limited time projects severely reduced.
7. To be able to use the Holodeck on the Starbase to access (as someone suggested) private social zones, or Foundry missions.
The possibility to let my character actually stay on the starbase, instead of having him kicked out every time I log off the game. Thanks to this design decision not one fleet member in my fleet bothers visiting our starbase, except for short visits to vendors. Weren't starbases supposed to be some kind of social hub for fleets?
-Exchange console
-Discount commodity broker + someone that buys at 50%
-Some NPC contacts that aren't copy-pasted from Starfleet Academy or your ship interior
-Some decent in-starbase missions, with decent rewards (Officer of the watch is a joke)
-Any and all possible customization options
Also:
-The ability to log off/take a queue mission while in the starbase and still be there when you come back
-The ability to beam off the starbase without going all the way back to the transporter room on foot

Are there plans to be put an Exch terminal on the Starbase?
Officer of the Watch is a joke as is the small reward
some form of quarters for players. (I.e Habitat ring) maybe give each room a mini panal that opens a mini foundry thing, then using the props from the "indoor" selection we can decorate our rooms accordingly.
A vendor that sells power cells, hypos etc.
Shooting range. (test out weapons)
A Human visitor with a Beagle/Targ. (Beagle/Targ seller)
People of Interest (Random visits from people we've helped out in the past)
Ships outside the windows (Typhoon, Akira, Vor'cha etc)
Some kind of joint space and ground action built into one zone... thing
(aka if the Tholians attack are able to bring your starbase to 0% health then the guys on the interior will feel the effect of walls exploding, the dance floor on fire, morn runnign around screaming "We're all doomed!")
What the fleet starbases (and embassies) need, is a seperate server instance, just like every other social hub! Fleet holdings completely fail as social zones as long as their instances get closed everytime the player logs out (and then reappears at his last location before entering the fleet system)!!!
