So with how Romulans are more of an enhanced species rather than a full faction (much like the liberated borg should be) i was thinking about what i would like to see next, the big one for me was Jem'Hadar. Of course this would be a long way off if ever but at the same time it's just fun to think about. Here's a list of a few things i would like to see if they ever went in and made them a playable species.
1) Better models: as it is now they look terrible in game. While the models aren't bad (i'd like them had they been original to STO), but in terms of Canon Jem'Hadar they're much like the remans and they really look terrible in comparison to every thing we've seen on screen so far. this would need to be changed before making them playable as well as making all the skins full body instead of just the head.
2) Neck Tubes: This kind of plays into 1, but at the same time it's a huge feature of the species, so why not take the effort to add the tube to the models, both player and NPC?
3)Ketracel White: Technically this is already in game and it's kind of a weird one. It debuffs non jem characters which i guess i understand, but the buff to the species isn't actually too bad. For making them playable i think the effects should be upped with a little bit of a twist. bigger buff for using it as well as almost killing non Jem'Hadar who do(since it's highly toxic), BUT, it should be required. you HAVE to have it, maybe at least once every 20 hours like they do most countdown timers? As you go on without it though it would be cool to have a debuff applied which stacks higher the longer you go without. Each stack would debuff your health and damage as well as start taking away abilities as it stacked eventually taking away your ability to shroud and such. It would add a nice cannon mechanic to the game without requiring a lot of work.
Note: this however would mean that food items didn't really do anything for them since the white supplies everything.
4) better guns: While we do have some versions in game, they're not quite how they should be, they're too bulky and the Jem'Hadar use a phased polaron beam which has an anticoagulant effect that causes people to bleed out. This should be the Proc, a 2.5% chance to cause a small stackable DoT that slowly bleeds you out as you play, requiring either a medic or a hypospray or something (food wouldn't clear the dot but would replenish health).
5) Resistance: This would be for things like stuns and such since they were pretty much immune to lower weapons settings. Their uniforms also allowed them to pass through forcefields, so maybe give them a little more shield penetration as well?
As a few small side notes, it would be a nice touch to have a counter added for playable Vorta that kept track of how many times you've died. it was a cool feature from the game "destroy all humans" that would be fantastic here.
Unlocking all 5 tiers of the Dominion Rep would allow a Jem'Hadar to "break free of his addiction" making them no longer need the white, which would stop the count down, but also not give nearly as big of a boost from using it.
If founders were allowed i'd say they don't get weapons but just a list of powers for combat as well as access to the alien generator to make different forms to assume. (i do that with my EMH character, each costume is a different alien species and it looks great)
Please feel free to discuss as well as add on different things you would like to see added to a playable Dominion character.
they could just fix the tailor so you can make a decent looking JH alien.
even if it was a zen purchase?

Mostly what I would like for the Jem'Hadar... the ability to use any of the JH specific weapons as part of the JH ground set. Also, please add the kar'takin pole-arm and make it also able to act as the weapon portion of the three piece JH ground set.
Ideally, BOs would have two weapon slots and I could slot a pole arm and a JH rifle at the same time and my JH BO would use whichever was appropriate... but that is probably wishing just a little too much.
