This idea just popped into my head and I figured I'd share. But what if players designed more social zones using the Foundry and then players could try them out. If enough people liked them, perhaps the Devs could just make them permanent additions to the game.
For example, if some players wanted to build other cities to visit like New York or Tokyo or whatever city they wanted to add on Earth or any other planet it could be a cool and efficient way to add new social zones.
Obviously this could take some time to implement, but I think players being able to add new environments even just as simple social zones would be pretty awesome!

I believe there is a limit to number of people who can be in a Foundry map at once. ??? I think someone who make Foundry missions can say.

The number of people you can have on a Foundry Map at the same time I THINK... is 5. Teamed up. Otherwise it will load seperate instances for everyone.
Besides... we got a few social zones that are already neglected. Vulcan, Andoria, and to an extent Bajor. Vulcan and Andoria... there's nothing to do there, and only really get used during the Anniversary event. Bajor suffers from the fact that DS9 is RIGHT NEXT to it.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

I ould rather see revamps of Andor and Vulcan, and the addition of Khitomer as another KDF social zone. the thing is, you need to have something in those zones to make players want to go there. maybe something like minimissions like on bajor that let you accumulate small amounts of dil, diplomatic exp, maybe vendors who have unique gear. maybe a mini celebrations on random weekends where you can get doffs boffs and admiralty cards, like a 3d chess tournament on Vulcan, or a snowman making contest on Andor.
