What kind of storylines would everyone like to see coming up. Or at least, what do they THINK they'll see.
Personally, I'm unrealistically hoping (as I mentioned in another thread) for a "Captain Ahab" type story, a type of story that's a commonly recurring theme. I think it would be nice to see a tribute. An important character (Shon is a good choice, we've seen him a lot) could perhaps die, and we have to chase down the killer. I'm thinking some kind of rogue Starfleet element, perhaps in a badass new ship we could see in the Zen store or something.
As for the overall story, I think it would be nice to come across a friendly Iconian, perhaps give them some explanation.

Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
--More Breen and Dominion stuff. Because Breen and Dominion = awesome.
--Cardassia ground and space maps, possibly with missions attached.
--Dominion faction.
--Seven of Nine gets re-assimilated and replaced by an ex-Borg who is NOT a sex object.
--Obisek gets assimilated and self-liberates through sheer badassness, and we get to work with him to save something. Because Obisek is awesome.
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
Iconian, Undine STF stories.
Oh wheeee! Another Neo-Victorian heard from :P. Oh well, just means more rampant nookie for the rest of us

How about one featuring characters who actually act with a modicum of intelligence and common sense.
-- Fire Jiro Sugihara.
-- Send an expedition into fluidic space to yell at the Undine for having their heads jammed even further up their asses than the Federation had done.
-- Kill off Koren for being an annoying, whiny b*tch.

--Supported.
--Oh, yeah, THAT's gonna end well...tell a bunch of racist xenophobes to stop being racist xenophobes. Uh-huh.
--Oh, come on! She's being a good, proper Klingon woman! From her perspective, the Federation are honorless traitors! WE broke the Khitomer accords by refusing to support the Klingons (our allies) in the destruction of an enemy force (the Undine). And the fact that we were infiltrated by Undine the entire time doesn't help.
Undine: "The weak will--"
Kanril Eleya: "Yeah, about that. I think us completely obliterating several of your fleets while being outnumbered by at least twenty to one conclusively demonstrates us to be the exact opposite of weak. Now start acting like sensible people, as you and I both damn well know you are capable of, or we'll give the Klingons free rein to slaughter qa'meH QuV. The weak will perish, jackass!"
I'm not talking about that. I'm talking about her continuous immature harping on the Federation only managing to send two ships to Qo'noS.

They're racists. They don't listen to reason and logic.
Continuous?
And look, the Federation promised support. There's a whole f*cking Undine battle fleet thrashing the hell out of the Empire's finest, and the Feds send the Voyager and the [Insert PC's ship name here]. Not exactly a lot of support, especially given that Voyager's a t4 Intrepid that's been in service for well over 30 years.
This^^^^^
I've had some really head-scratching experiences with racists. The Undine fit the bill completely.
The storyline as written requires them to be so stupid it's a wonder they manage to get up in the morning. Just like it required the Federation to be stupid dumbass f*cks about a blatantly obvious infiltration problem (i.e. the Undine actually really suck at infiltrating).

Well...
With the Undine, an explanation that I saw that I really liked is that from their perspective, they're going to wipe us out for not keeping up our end of the bargain and keeping our issues in our space.
Even if they KNOW about the false-flag op, it still implies that we are weak enough that a faction in our space is able to annoy the Undine even though we promised to stay away.
Basically, we're adolescents who promised to watch the toddlers and failed. So we must be punished. And to the Undine, inferiors like us can only be punished with death.
From the Fed side, it was pretty clear from the storyline and stuff that the UFP was completely infiltrated from the start. An Admiral, the leading expert on alien tech, ESD's chief science officer, a Vulcan ambassador and former councilor, a starship Captain...these are just the ones we FOUND.
- Also what happened to the Evil Ocumpa who were with the other Caretaker?
I say this mainly because the current line up of missions is ragged, clumsy and unorganised, a bit like making up the storyline as you go. Not the best option in my opinion. Rather this new series storyline would be created before the first episode was made, so everyone in the dev team knew where the next episode would go and could therefore connect the episodes logically.

Ocampa biology and reproduction makes NO SENSE at ALL.
Other than that, more Undine content especially interesting ground content. Give us a reason to want to get that ground set, since they retconned the entire Undine story arc there are only two missions which have them on the ground in any numbers, that mission from the Borg arc and Undine Infiltration. TWO missions, sucks to be honest. Hopefully there will be a Season 9.5 update with some more content to sink our teeth into.

During the Prison mission where you got the Founder. Several inmates has escaped. I would like to see what happened to them. What trouble did they cause next? Did we get them captured again?
What about the Remen area on New Romulas? We can't access that area. So what it look like? Did they find a new threat down there?
From the Voyager Episode Dragon's Teeth. The crew found the Vaadwaur. What became of them?
What about all the other types of civilizations from Voyager and DS9? What came of them?
What about some of the older civilizations like from Enterprise, TOS, or TNG? What came of them.

USS Casinghead NCC 92047 launched 2350
Fleet Admiral Stowe - Dominion War Vet.
Mirror Universe Wesley Crusher, Terran Emperor.
Traditionally, I'd have been against the Emperor being someone we know. But then DS9 went and gave us Regent Worf and Enterprise gave us Empress Hoshi.
There are a variety of reasons for this.
Wil Wheaton loves playing villains and is good at it. He doesn't want to play the traditional Wesley anymore.
In video games, there is always the risk of a guest voiceover overshadowing the player as the hero. Villain voiceovers get around this.
If people are annoyed by Wesley, that actually makes him a good villain to fight. If he's a walking plot device in terms of his intellect, that again is a trait that you may hate on a hero but which makes for a GREAT villain.
Think of the Companion Cube from Portal. Think of how almost every classic Trek villain was known for their ability to verbally taunt you. Now you're in a base full of death traps and imagine Wesley Crusher is over the intercom constantly calling you an idiot, critiquing everything you do, daring you to stop him and them making it very hard for you to do.
In imagining a Mirror Wesley, I realized that he's probably more or less Hamlet. His uncle "Jean-Luc" probably did kill his father and marry his mother, even moreso than in the Prime Universe. Hence, there is some pedigree to the character, some weight.
Now... Why "Emperor"? Well, think about what made the normal Wesley frustrating for many viewers. He was good at everything (including cosmic mind skills) except talking to women. And then Ashley Judd just sort of ran into him so he's even lucky at the one thing he's bad at. Yet in spite of being good at everything, the source of his "whining" was that he lacked direction. He COULD do anything but the Federation encouraged people to do whatever they wanted and so like many real young people, Wesley drifted and bounced back and forth between ambitions, unsure of what to do or become until the Traveler showed up with a new offer. (And even then, Wesley rejected that going by the Nemesis deleted scenes and the Titan experience which, unlike the books, established that Wesley went back to Starfleet and served as Riker's chief engineer on the Titan.)
Now... All this aimlessness and uncertainty and teen angst is the product of a cushy Federation life. Take a Wesley with the same skill and potential and imagine him in a world where it's kill or be killed, hunt or be hunted, conquer or be enslaved. Suddenly all that teen angst goes out the window and you're left with a cunning and resourceful jack of all trades who never has to think twice about how to use his gifts: he'll use them for survival and he'll use them for advancement. First under the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance, then probably in a rebel camp... And by the time the Terran Federation/Empire comes back, you have this starving genius who no longer needs to worry about mere survival. Now he can have revenge and he can dominate.
Someone with all of Wesley Crusher's skills and none of his indecision, hesitation, angst, or morality would be in the running for the throne. Either someone else gets the drop on him before he can reach it or he winds up running the show, either as the Emperor or a top advisor who pulls the strings of a puppet emperor (come to think of it, that would be good for a Mirror Data type).
Also, I think by focusing on the Terran politics, we can get around some of the wackiness of how they rebuilt an empire in 30 years. We know from the game's lore that this isn't some alternate Mirror Universe. This is the Mirror Universe and the new Terran Empire was built in under 30 years. We have the story of Smiley and some misguided idealists who tried to make a better empire but I think that story is a hard sell if we're focused too much on the Terran Starfleet as a whole. But becomes much easier to sell if we're looking at a more personal side of the story that acknowledges there were many players and events that contributed to where we are now. Rather than being "Smiley built a few thousand ships", it could be political wheeling and dealing, Romulan backing, hundreds of researchers collaborating... A complete Path to 2409 to rival our own. And Wesley could be a very large piece of that if there's a Mirror Wesley who has the luck and skill of regular Wesley.
Kazons? Aren't they that species whom even the Borg consider to be complete dumbasses?
For crying out loud, these people killed themselves with a replicator. They raid planets for water, one of the more common substances in the universe.

You don't need to make rational sense when you have PHENOMENAL COSMIC POWERS.
1) Advance or wrap-up some of the dangling Tholian plotlines.
2) Do something more with the flagships and develop their crews.
3) What's going on over in the mirror universe? Why do Terran ships come flying out of anomalies caused by Tholian ships exploding? And what are the mirror Romulans even like?
3) What have the Breen been upto since we prevented them from getting the Preserver archive?
4) Why did the Dominion tell us they know the Iconians are coming and that when they do we're on our own?
5) The Klingon Empire isn't exactly one big happy family. What kind of political fallout is happening now that the war is over?
6) Are the Gorn going to finally decide to rebel or not?
