On September 26, 2001, Scott Bakula (Doctor Sam Beckett) leaped into the captain's chair as Jonathan Archer, a test pilot who is desperate to prove his father's warp engine, sets out on a long journey of exploration and discovery... It has indeed been a long road, getting from (2001) there to here (2021) - uncertain times, a war breaking out and a country clinching its fist in rage to survive that and now in a middle of a pandemic of 2020 hopefully soon coming to a close, yes it has been a long road, the year of the Klingon has not shown up completely and would STILL be not fully released until 2022 probably, but this 20th Anniversary is needed, to celebrate like Zefram's space flight, rising through the ashes like a phoenix.. from 2020 to burn with new vigor, cause after all the stuff in the last 20 years we have had our faith tested..
I want to see NEW NX-01 content, hopefully a T4 atleast C-store variation or maybe a T5 of those old ships including the original Enterprise, the NX-01 bridge pack finally arrive, lets even start with getting rid of the T5 requirement, (it is possible to fly T4 ships from T1, and T6 from T1 but T5 you have to reach Level 40) I want to see Denobulan as a race, make some big changes and add Saru as a federation race, Add Pakled and Ferengi as Klingon side because it has FEW to play as, I want to see the Orion outfits be added not as a LOBI unlock, just look at all the federation species that is playable as (Andorian, Tellarite, Human, Vulcan, Trill, Bajoran, Betazed, Bolian, Pakled, Ferengi, Saurian, Rigelian) but on the Klingon side (Orion, Klingon, Nausicaan, Gorn, Lethean)
but just adding those 2 races would sort of balance it out, BOTH of those races has done stuff that the Federation has not looked TOO KINDLY on. After all the glitches, bugs, issues, (including the game crashes that punished me) the players has consistently supported this game out of everything it has been through with removing content we LOVED now gone forever,..
...we continue support it cause we have faith, Faith of the Heart
I got an idea for a possible Enterprise mission the other day when I was re-watching the last few episodes of season 3. At the end of E² the second Enterprise disappears and their whereabouts are left a mystery, maybe we could have a mission where we discover that they were transported to our time? That would also leave an opening for T'pol to make an appearance if they could get the actress to reprise the role.
Alternatively, we could get a mission(s) + a queue telling the story of the Romulan War, either as the result of more temporal shenanigans or framed as holodeck simulations. Any of the cast could be used in that kind of story, though idk if any of them would be that open to it. I think the guy that played Travis said he'd be happy to reprise his role if he was ever asked, and the guy that played Malcolm has done voice over work for Blizzard games so he might be somewhat easy to get on board, but idk about the rest.
My big hope would be that an Enterprise era mission would lead to the creation of a NX-01 interior. If they did a story about the duplicate enterprise then they could also use that skin for a new NX variant (the Terran NX is another option), though it would probably be a lockbox or promo ship since there's already Lobi and Legendary variants. I'd also like to see the NX Intrepid added somehow too, as well as Enterprise era excursion jackets and NX-01 hats.

You should probably put “year” of Klingon in scare quotes—I remember when you argued it would be a whole year from June—-I’m more or less teasing.
I will be “happy” with YOK if we get long jackets, one non-dread hairstyle, and the ledgendary ships...
Of course I assume we will really just get the ships and a poor fek'ihri revamp... oh well.. at least maybe we will get a ship...

in case you're not aware, there are a series of books, forgot the titles, where Columdia went back in time to about the 15th century earth. the crew encountered a more advanced race they were able to hide out with. maybe something could be done with that

That sounds like the Destiny novels, which also apparently reveals one origin of the Borg. Also word on the grapevine is that those novels are almost universally disliked.
Honestly I'd be more interested in something based on I wanna say some artwork from one of the Ships of the Line calendar where Columbia was found by the Ent-E... crashed in the Gamma Quadrant.
I can't take it anymore! Could everyone just chill out for two seconds before something CRAZY happens again?!

They weren't bad, but not great either.
What I didn't like was how a hyper-advanced species (the Caeliar) that was never seen on screen were created only so that they could suffer from a serious disaster and thereby create the Borg.
Besides that, the novel is supposedly about the biggest invasion the galaxy has ever had to deal with. And then you get page after page with Dax's crew just going on an archeological mission in the Gamma quadrant, pieces of Hernandez and her remaining crew members getting bored on the Caeliar homeworld and so on.
The story doesn't flow well. And the author tried too hard involving everyone from everywhere and... everywhen? (Dax, Picard's Enterprise E, Riker's Titan, Voyager, Enterprise/Columbia). Basically, he tried to use too many different things from too many different pieces ... And then he still had to come up with something that's outside established lore to bind it all together.
It also doesn't help that the Titan and Avenger and almost all of its crew members were never shown on screen. If you're used to seeing characters and ships, it's just more difficult to get a clear image based on what is being described. You have this idea of what a starship is supposed to look like, but then you have to reconcile it with all sorts of descriptions that you've never read before. (Perhaps that's just a problem for me because I had to read them in English instead of my native language though - I don't know.)
And you spend much more time reading all sorts of descriptions that you don't have to bother with when watching a Star Trek movie or an episode, of course.

I liked the Vesta though, lol.
