Some suggestions to consider From the office of AdmiralBlindMan

So, I've been playing Star Trek Online for several years now on both the PC version, and more recently the PS4 console version. While I've loved both versions, I feel some things from the PC version were not included into the PS4 console version. So, if I may, I would like to offer some suggestions for the console (PS4/Xbox One) side of the game:
1) Tholian / Borg Red Alerts - This was a staple of playing STO on the PC side. Always a guaranteed way to earn Omega marks.
2) When starting DOFF assignments, we should be able to do the following:
a) View details about the officers that we assign to any given assignment to ensure that they're a good fit for the assignment at all. Instead of players just letting the computer do it for us, and hope we get successful random chance assignment completions.
b) Sorting DOFFs instead of scrolling through the whole roster! Would be extremely useful in getting more accurately qualified DOFFs for the given assignment.
c) Sorting DOFFs that have desirable traits, or even excluding undesirable ones.
3) More PvE queues for marks that we haven't gotten plenty of during patrol missions.
4) With all of the systems in the Star Trek universe in the Star Trek Online game, there ought to be more patrol missions, especially in the alpha, beta, and delta quadrants.
5) a Gamma Quadrant expansion of the galaxy map on Star Trek Online with playable patrol missions.
6) I know you're going to be releasing new episodes with Captain Geordi La Forge (LeVar Burton), but side missions of existing episodes would be excellent. There are always ways to further a storyline than just arbitrarily stop at a determined point.
7) Give Federation faction ships the ability to cloak/decloak. I don't know if this is available on the Defiant class Federation faction ships, and I'd like to buy one to find out, but it would make some missions interesting in the Delta Quadrant.
8) Make more missions / episodes about diplomacy than about space battles. Don't get me wrong, everyone loves a good space battle, but it might be nice to earn diplomacy experience points.
9) relating to that last suggestion, maybe have a specialization skill for diplomatic status alongside the ones for: Pilot, Intelligence Specialist, Temporal Operative, Command Specialist. Something like "Diplomatic Corps" for perhaps a "First Contact" Mission / episode.
10) Lastly, I don't know what the limit is to use update tokens on ships, but it would be excellent to be able to use tokens more than once on a ship of any faction ship or tier.
Just some friendly suggestions from a Star Trek fan through and through, die hard to the hardcore.
A notable mention of a suggested idea, if fed ships can't be equipped with a cloaking device, we should have something similar like the Ship Battery or Auxiliary battery devices with respect to maybe a temporary cloak, say 15sec or 45sec cloak devices?
Anyway, some ideas. I don't expect that any of them will be given any serious consideration, but I hope some of them will be discussed at some point, or even have been already.
Thanks for your time.
Sincerely,
