So, Daniels had a timepod on Enterprise...

And it was bigger on the inside...
So here's my wacky thought on it:
Make it a lockbox or lobi ship: a full 10 console ship. It can use the existing timeship consoles.
It comes with Temporal Displacement Drive as a special ship engine, usable on any timeship. (It shouldn't be a warp core ideally as the Krenim ship should come with a Temporal Core that adds to the Temporal set.)
The TDD provides bonus resistance to radiation damage.
The new 4 piece Temporal Warfare set bonus might be something like...
Causality Avoidance: This passive ability upgrades your Mannheim Device temporal duplicates' durability and provides them with enhanced chroniton energy weapons. Damage they take is no longer transferred to your main ship and you now receive a Takyokinetic Conversion buff each time they take damage, providing a bonus to your to movement speed and turnrate.
As for the Series 24 Timepod itself...? Like I say, 10 console ship the size of a shuttle. Very large ship interior based a bit on the Enterprise-J (carpet/windows/walls taking some cues from there), a bit on the Relativity interior (TCARS design on the computers), and maybe a bit on the TARDIS (which was the inspiration for the timepod) by having a bridge with a Temporal Core in its center.
Probably some expanded functionality like bank (and exchange) access and maybe a visual element that looks like an M.C. Escher painting with background NPCs walking upside down. This might also be simulated by having a turbolift that takes you to an upside down version of the bridge (in both versions, you can see people walking on the ceiling). For extra surrealism and to add to the illusion, all of the NPCs staffing the ship are copies of the Captain.
Optional UTS prefix and XRT ship registry.
Finally, a "Chameleon Circuit"-inspired feature which allows the Series 24 pod to take the appearance of any shuttle or small craft you own. This is where I can see a lot of desirability being added in since some people were always fans of the look of shuttles in endgame content. Well, with the tesseract tech here, you could conceivably have a shuttle sized ship competing at endgame.
