the current story in STO has the house mokai Klingons going to the 24th century and running amok. earlier I listened to the Star Trek TMP film score, and thought it would be perfect for the .5 season opening music for STO. I know the CBS people would have to OK the use of it, but I am sure since PWI is already working with them on the current season's content, it should not be that hard. the TMP film score in my mind, music wise, provides a bridge between the TOS era and the TNG era. also at about 4:00 into the music, there is a portion that to me, is ST music used when Klingons make their appearance. it gives me this "Here come the Klingons!" kind of feel.
here's a youtube link to the song (starting at 3:03:00 and ending at 9:53)

I am reminded of the game Star Trek The Next Generation: A Final Unity (a awesome game btw, even for how old it is.) they were able to have the TNG cast reprise their roles, but were unable to use the 1701-D and the opening theme music, so they did a slightly battle scarred 1701-D (carbon scoring streaks all over the saucer section) and did a slight take off of the music. It sounded almost the same, but was different enough from the original that the (paramount back then) lawyers would not get their tights in bunch.
here is a video of the opening of that game if you interested
and here's the same intro, but from the actual show
don't know why I didn't remember about this thing until a few minutes ago. but the devs could have music that was really close, but slightly different enough to not trigger the CBS lawyers.
On new missions and TFOs I'll listen to everything a couple times, but after that music gets muted and SFXs get turned way down (I can only take so many ween!s in combat).
Also the GCS looks "close enough" that it really doesn't look like a copyright Dodge.
As for using actors as an example, it was just that an example to show it's not a case of "everything or nothing" but rather the rights in these things can get highly complex.
btw.... stupid question here... what is GCS?

Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
