The main problem with the Alliance is that there have not been that many opportunities to show them as an unified force.
The uniforms were released in early 2020. Since then we've mostly seen content related to the distant past (Age of Discovery) and everything that resulted from it, including the Klingon Civil War and now the mirror universe.
Big scale conflicts that threatened the Alliance as a whole and each of its members equally haven't occurred after its creation. The Terran arc for example has mostly seen the Federation get hit hard. And it's increasingly less likely that we'll see such a conflict, since the Dominion were made a member of it, for two reasons.
1. In-story, it's less likely that whatever threat occurs will actually threaten powers spread out over three quadrants.2
2. It's probably more difficult for the Devs to equally represent four factions in new content (and, thus, show all members at the same time as part of an unified force instead of just an ad-hoc coalition between, say, Klingons and Starfleet).
Actually, the current V'Ger storyline is the definition of a galactic threat to every galactic power, as this is something that any one of them could not counter and all would be in danger of should it come to this universe. Also, the recent relaxing of national restrictions on ships now have KDF crews commanding Federation and Romulan warships, and Starfleet Command commissioning Klingon Battlecruisers and Romulan warbirds into Starfleet, so the unification has already happened. What I understand is the primary barrier is that the game is hard-coded with an impenetrable barrier between Starfleet and KDF sides of the game, and this makes combined content aside from STFs impossible.
Still, a unified fleet that uses ships those aboard don't see as traditional enemies, wearing the same uniforms, and using unified logistics makes alot of sense from the standpoint of a galactic government. Trying to get a Klingon part to a Romulan ship stuck in a Federation shipyard is definitely not a fun day for a Supply Officer.

V'Ger, yes. But the rest of the Terran arc has mostly revolved around attacks on Jupiter Station, infiltrating the Terran equivalent of ESD and dealing with evil copies of Starfleet characters (and those working with Starfleet, like Leeta).
V'Ger had the potential to do what the Iconian War did before, but it hasn't really had that same effect. Yet. Who knows what will happen in the episodes that will be released in a few hours...
Word has it that the compiler console (digitizer?) which turns your ship into a giant plasma torpedo can be equipped on every ship.
Even if it for lolz i have got to try the previous event Jellyfish ship with that console.
This program, though reasonably normal at times, seems to have a strong affinity to classes belonging to the Cat 2.0 program. Questerius 2.7 will break down on occasion, resulting in garbage and nonsense messages whenever it occurs. Usually a hard reboot or pulling the plug solves the problem when that happens.
From seeing the ships in ESD orbit and such, the World Razer is about the size I was expecting, just a little bit wider than a standard Galaxy. The Compilier SciDread is large, but due the size creep in the game I actually found it smaller than I was expecting when comparing to the Borg Juggernaut I was flying, granted the Borg Jugg is by no means a small craft, I was just thinking it'd be larger for the newer ship.
I wonder how many world razer ships will have variations of "death Star" for names

Anyone have any of the new phasers? I'd like to know if they can be used as a proxy for WoK phasers. Looking for something to replace my Terran DSC phasers on my TMP themed character.

I thought the same.
Based on the comparison they made with the Enterprise-J, I thought it would be huge. It certainly is big and they only said it was as broad (and not as big) as that ship - but still, the fact they chose that ship to compare it with meant that i wasn't too impressed when I saw it.
Might be different once I get to fly it myself though.
