Hypothetically speaking, if YOU were the one calling the shots, what systems and/or features would you add to STO? I'm not going to get on any soapboxes in this thread. My own thoughts on the matter are well documented elsewhere. Right now, I am interested in what other people have to say...
Cheers...

if I stop posting it doesn't make you right it. just means I don't have enough rum to continue interacting with you.
#LegalizeAwoo
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch."
"We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
I think they are planning on adding at least Andorians during the Year of Klingon. We already have Captain Shran and that one other Andorian in the Disco arc. Tellarites and Saurians are also likely.
As for me... couple small things honestly, like proper sounds for the Assault Phaser. The ones in game right now are just generic and not the canon sound. Another would be a few more canon ground weapons, like Enterprise era and maybe a TNG Type 2.
But the BIGGEST thing for me... is the ever popular Pet Tab. Quality of Life update right there for collectors.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite
colored text = mod mode
so far the only one we have is a dyson sphere...how about we get some variety there, like a ringworld? halo does not have a monopoly on those
or maybe a matrioshka brain, a penrose sphere or even something unique to star trek

Well, pretty much see the entire message board for people's ideas. That's kind of what people have been posting for years

I'd also like to see a trade in system for all of the tier 5 boxes we get.
I've got at least 5 unopened on just one of my toons. A system where we that could make them account tradable and then accumulate say, 5-10 of them for a single tier 6 box would be awesome fan service.
Klingon Targ Handler kits, pet Targs, Targ breeding

-Enterprise-E/Voyager's Red Alert Klaxon or even a list of alert klaxons to choose from.
-Type-9 Shuttlecraft.
-First Contact/Voyager's "Boomerang" Type-II Phaser (w/holstered graphic would be sweet too) (also if it functioned like the Romulan's Plasma Piercing Beam Rifle)
-Those 3/3 Daily Explore missions that were removed years ago. Right there at the end, they were getting super buggy but they were fun.
-Some kind of exploration content.
-Different "warp out" sounds from different ships.
I could probably think of more but hose are the ones that come to my mind right away.
Less Practical:
-Revamp Ship interiors with a customizable tile grid and monetize things like lighting systems, wall types, etc.(Borg Lighting/Assimilated walls from a future borg lockbox, etc.)
-Further Develop the Admiralty Missions to be closer to something like NWN's old gateway helper minigame or vaguely like Darkest Dungeon where there are various "stages" to each mission that your ship flotilla can get bonus loot or longer maintenance time for success/failure rolls.
UIX/QoL Revisions:
-Remove all food items and 'consumables' from drop tables. (Batteries/Hypos can already be crafted and it would open up a new market for crafters.) I straight up avoid loot on ground maps because there is simply too much inventory clutter(that is a pain to get rid of).
-Re-implement the 'Sell Stack' button so it's less of a hassle to get rid of stacks of junk in the inventory.
-Add a "Salvage" toggle button to the Inventory Window that lets you (mass)salvage items with a single click.
-Improve the C-Store's ship inventory to be closer to the Ship Requisitions Screen by adding additional filters by Ship Type and Faction.
-Change Hotbar abilities to be on MouseDown instead of MouseUp to improve activation responsiveness in hectic situations. (It's painfully common to miss an ability because you're sweeping your mouse across multiple buttons while clicking and it gets registered as a drag attempt instead of a click.)
-Decouple consumable activation from all other actions for ground combat. It feels terrible to use a hypo and not have it apply immediately(unless you're doing absolutely nothing else at the time).
Pet Tab
Backstory missions for your primary Boff, Elisa, Tovan, and it's Kgan for kdf, right?
nothing epic, just a invitation from your first officer to visit home for x,y,z. maybe have something fun, like a family picnic devolve into a food fight, or maybe help your boff solve a long ago mystery.
The ability to transfer the flag in space, we are, after all admirals and we should not have to schlep to Quo'nos to switch to a different ship that has already been fitted out.
that already exists - that's what the button under your list of commissioned boffs is for - it only shows in sector and non-queue system space, though

Oh, and maybe ongoing parallel eras (ie Discovery era, TOS era) that don't jump to the 25th century. I'm sure it's a logistical nightmare.
And some smaller things:
Nemesis romulan uniforms
Ship consumable device fix
And of course allow beards for the Romulans
Cause whatever it is, it'll likely involve some event that needs to be played over and over again or some clicky system that you need to complete some random task for - over a period of months, if not years.
Which basically means more account management. That's what the game is nowadays. Something that needs to be managed and requires continuous attention.
The only thing I might still enjoy, would be an interesting new story arc, one with stories that don't deal with the Klingons.
don't worry once they add PIC content to the game there's going to be story arcs where you deal with the Romulans.

We already have a faction that does not want to see the Alliance either live long or prosper: the Nah'Kul. Not sure about the Tholians. We already dealt with Noye, part of the Krenim.
