Iconian War Over; Any Chance of Some Area Updates and Iconian Lockboxes Now?

As most everyone is aware, we've spent the better part of the past year since Delta Rising dealing with the Iconians, and now, it's over, in a few missions. Just like that.
We have had all these Tales of the War, cutscenes and dialogue showing how terrible it was, and yet, it seems like practically nothing. We haven't had anything to show the scars of the war; unlike the Undine War where at least ESD got a revamp as part of some post-battle rebuilding. New Romulus is still only a staging area despite being focused on heavily for having an active gate system. Qo'noS is as clean and pristine as it was before the war began, with no updates.
I'd like to hope that New Romulus and Qo'noS gets some updates as well in this post-war rebuilding period, as both of them do need more to them. ESD already got its revamp and recent reopening of the Club, so I feel that it's only fair that New Romulus should get a proper city hub that Romulans and Non-Romulans alike can visit, and that Qo'noS could get a long overdue refresh; both to improve overall Quality of Life options that the Federation side enjoys.
In addition, will we ever see some Iconian/Herald spoils of war in the form of an Iconian lockbox and in Lobi store? Namely, the Herald Cruiser, the Brute and Construct armor, and Brute weapon in the Lobi shop (similar to Undine Armor and Undine weapon), with the Herald Battleship, Herald AP ship weapons, Harbinger or Thrall staff, and Harbinger and Thrall attire as Lockbox Herald Uniforms in an Iconian lockbox. It feels like such a waste given that we're not likely to be seeing such unique weapons again, and it's also been something all all players have voiced interest in off and on throughout the whole war.
Now seems like a perfect time to work and release both, while working towards S11. The Iconian spoils to pad light releases during the build up to S11, and the updating of Qo'noS and New Romulus so that things look more progressive for those two rather than just the Federation side.

As for a New Romulus update... let's finish building that wall! :O
Just wait till the inevitable Herald Dreadnought promo pack with op stats and kamikaze fighters.
That thing is massive. Better some with a Herald crewman... If my redshirt doffs are having fatal accidents repairing lifts... I don't want them playing with the onboard gateways.
I don't know, that thing just seems too massive, I don't think it could even fit in the corridors of the Voth fortress ship and certain other missions, I think ships have to be small enough to not cause problems like that in certain missions.
They'll just mess with the scale. It seems inconsistent anyway, I'm pretty sure that, say, the dreadnought in Gateway to Grethor is bigger than the one in Midnight.
Lockbox: Baltim
Lobi Store: Quas
(Maybe): Promotion: Vomph
The Ialdon is in my opinion just too large. Even the Vomph is pushing the size limit.
That's what I think. The Vomph seems a canidate for a promotion ship, maybe. But I could see them also moving the raider to T5 status able to be upgraded to T5U (Raiders have proven to be of questionable popularity, excluding the B'Rel), and have the Quas as the lockbox ship, and the Vomph as Lobi or vice versa.
Perhaps the smaller one from Midnight is the size of the one that will one day come as a promotion? I would pay for it.
Give that, and playable Iconians to lifetime members. Iconia would be repopulated in a week.
Face palming the enemy one at a time.
So much this! I wanna see the city-or-whatever finished!
