As the title says
1. DS9 interior revamp.
2. Karemma, Tosk, and Paradans added to Federation playable species, and Dosi, Wadi, and Hunters added to KDF playable species, since we know these governments have relations with those races, and the wormhole to the GQ has been open and used since the end of the war. It makes sense a few members of these races would have joined up for diplomatic reasons.
3. Dominion War 2.0 storyline, and Anti-Dominion taskforce reputation + pve queues.
4. 2 sector tall, by 4 sector wide, playable Gamma Quadrant sector space map centered around the Idran Wormhole's GQ terminus.(the white boxed area in the pic below)
5. AoY style Cardassian faction that can join up with either the Feds or the KDF after their short mission list is done.
6. New Link, Female Changeling, Odo, and Hur'q being involved in the story in some way.
7. Gamma Quadrant themed fleet holding.
8. Cardassian admiralty campaign.
9. DS9 cast VAs
Anything else y'all would like to see in such an expansion? Plot ideas? races? episodes referenced?

I don't think we'd get extra playable species, though (a shame). And we could see a Cardassian mini-faction, but if Cryptic wants to get really "conservative", then they can just add THAT to the three existing factions as a playable species.
I also don't think we'd get a Dominion War 2.0 storyline. I don't think we'd get them as a full blown enemy faction. The Hur'q, on the other hand...
Here's my rebuttal to your proposal:
Expansion 4 (first six months of 2018) will get:
This would be on par with what we got for Agents of Yesterday, and lines up nicely with DS9's 25th anniversary.

Yeah, the only reason why I went the Lock Box route was because of the Galor and Keldon (the two most recognizable ships from canon) are already in-game through lock box. Also, I'm not totally convinced that Cryptic wants to make FOUR ships for every future release, instead of three. No matter what they do, I don't think the playerbase will be totally happy.
However, that being said... there IS the possibility of a new specialization being added, and they WOULD need to fill in a C-Store Mega Bundle of some sort. If the Cardie stuff goes there, then you could see the Fek'Ihri Lock Box first, followed by the Hur'q Lock Box. That could also open up a Cardassain Outpost Fleet Holding in the GQ, which would contain Cardie BOFFs, space and ground weapons, uniforms, etc...
It needs some refinement, and some give-take choices will need to be made... but THIS IS THE WAY CRYPTIC NEEDS TO GO!! IT'S NOT HARD!!!

If the expansion just had these three, I'd be cool with it - presuming there are some episodes to put that VA in of course. I'd love it though if they made DS9 a large adventure zone like New Romulus.
I would expect these to happen, but can't say I would want then. We have more than enough grinds.
Why limit it by faction? Just give them cross-faction unlocks in the c-store like Trill.
If they can get Andrew Robinson then he alone would make a Cardassian mini-faction worth while. Otherwise there would be nothing in it actually from the show. No locations or characters would still be around.* I think a c-store unlock plus some Cardassian-heavy missions (with the right kind of vibe) for all would be fine.
*=okay, there's Empok Nor. But we already had that, sort of, and it is just a dupe of DS9.

The Tholians.... are apparently trying to enforce their own weird variation of the Temporal Accords in the present... namely eradicating anything that doesn't belong in this timeline. The source of the conflict is that the Feds want to study their stuff first.
