What should Cryptic add to STO (dont say whale probe, dont say whale probe)

Personal fleets, with the player ship being supported by their other ships, captained by their bridge officers. Like, really. When an admiral flies into a mission, they should have some of their other ships to escort them.
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
Maybe have the Mirrorverse skin as an option when selecting the material in the ship tailor.
The prefix isn't outside the realm of easy either, considering the number of prefixes that can be used by players already.
The interior would be harder? A reskin of the TOS interior (Imperial symbols everywhere) and then similar for the 2409/10 interiors.
Come stand with us in supporting Star Trek: The Animated Series content for STO! (It's canon!) #TASforSTO
Time travel and glass-cannon ships hurt my head and is NOT what Trek is about. Trek is exploration, becoming better as a species, and gaining scientific knowledge while holding on to the traditions that got us where were are.

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
TWoK phasers (ground and space)
T6 NX class
T6 Excalibur
Enough options to create an accurate alien gen Jem'Hadar
So... the pizza has to be within 30 Lightyears?
Anyways.
Whale Probe (Just to bug ya. Although finding out the origins of it might be interesting...)
Galactic Barrier
Great Barrier
Can't think of any more at this time...

An alternative could be to open a new area of one of the Spheres to exploration. There is so much potential there. Perhaps even use it to expand upon the storyline in the Dyson Rep.

Another idea, entirely different. We're playing as highly experienced and decorated officers/warriors/secret agents infiltrating the Republic
As a bonus, include a competitive factor with other players. Lead your teams against each other in a pvp-lite scenario, using only training grounds equipment. Because, you know, we wouldn't want the instructors accidentally vaporizing each other. Go through a course for the highest score or pit your cadets against each other in a combat arena.
I'd love a deeper minigame version of the fleet system, like the Big Board type scenario where you see your little ships moving too and from missions with status updates - maybe for some penalty you could even divert ships from other missions if you needed to shore something up.

My forum single-issue of rage: Make the Proton Experimental Weapon go for subsystem targetting!
Federation Class. You know, that 3 nacelled Constitution.
Winning.

That spawns sharknadoes when the call does not get answered.
Read my sig. There's two "iconic" ships (well, two and a half, the half being a "reskin" of one of the missing two) that are missing from T6, and one of them is the aforementioned NX...
The "Federation" and "Saladin" classes from the old Tech Manual would be nice, but more hastle then their worth (copyright issues galore there)
But a T6 "Q ship" like the one VanZyl flies would be a useful upgrade to my Tuffli...
I'd be game with complete mirror interiors, heck, I'd be game if they completed interiors period (even if said "complete interior" is all the same except for wall textures, doors, maybe consoles) and started introducing missions "on my ship".
Even if my ship is a Tholian Recluse or some other lockbox bird...
To rob a line: [quote: Mariemaia Kushrenada] Forum Posting is much like an endless waltz. The three beats of war, peace and revolution continue on forever. However, opinions will change upon the reading of my post.[/quote]
I want people to see 1930's Chicago Gangsters and realize that the cries for "muh immersion" have been misplaced for a good long while, and nothing Cryptic could ever do will ever compare to that particular episode, "A Piece of the Action"
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
That, and an unrestricted tailor. :P
Maybe it could be a portal to The Captains Club.
Have it drift around the different quadrants in the game.
It could also be something used for random Foundry Missions, especially if the missions are kinda crazy.

Mini games that involve adjusting various elements of your ship based on your chosen career path. For example, an engineer can adjust the ships engine to perform better/improve stats for a limited time. Captains can invite other players with different career paths to come aboard and perform these "mini-games" to improve ship performance for a limited time.
Assign bridge and duty officers to various stations throughout your ship interior to improve stats and performance of your ship overall. Missions to improve crew morale that lead to better performance of the ship as a whole.
I could go on and on...
EXPLORATION
DIPLOMACY
Until we get those two this game is just a pew pew pew fest with the star trek ip slapped into it for money making purposes.
