I love the Captain's Table. Maybe it's because I read the series. Maybe it's because I can meander on up to Cap (even though he only gives me items and doesn't make me tell a story).
But it's not very populated, and I think I know why. It's too hard to get to!
Let's be honest, it's really nothing more than a fancy starbase (fine, no problem there). But when I want to go there, I have to go to Sol (or Kronos), then enter the system, then enter the nebula, then enter the Table itself (Four steps). Or I could turn right and just skip two steps and get right to the starbase.
I see two solutions: 1) Move the Aenigma nebula out to sector space. 2) Give us two pop-ups for Sol / Kronos for those of us that have access - one to enter Sol, the other to enter wacky interdimensional land where the Table hides.
Yes Lifetime subs have access to the captains table.
I agree also that personally i'd use it more if it wasn't in the Sol system. Just as was mentioned I usually skip a few steps and head directly to earth space dock.
Plus I think there are a few things you can't do on the Captains Table area that you could do on the starbase but I can't remember exactly what.
I think it would be cool if we had a transwarp button to the captains table we could use. That would be better than moving everything into sector space I think.
Aye, it's a lifetime sub perk, and will be opening up to others via the Veteran Rewards system over time. I very much like the idea of giving everyone with access to it a transwarp option. You could really replace the whole 'access code' thing we get now with a 'transwarp coordinate' or somesuch and make it a 'power' like transwarp to ESD/Qo'nos. (It would be very similar to the VIP lounge teleport in CoH then, in a sense.)
It's a pretty vacant place to go now, what would be nice is if they added Dabo to it as another place to go other than DS9 and the Neutral Zone......not ground breaking but I think it would get a bit of foot traffic.

Maybe I'm not remembering right, but there's an exchange, mail, tailor, and a few vendors.
I think the only major thing that's missing is a ship editor (which kinda makes sense, it's not truly a starbase, it's a bar)
A couple minor things, no medical officer, engineer, BOff store/trainer... (again, it's a bar)
And I could totally see them adding a game room with Dabo, Poker, other minigames as they come in. Heck, it would be a good use for that "other" side of the station. You know what I'm talking about.

Solution 3 is even easier. A magic door just like in the books. It can even be on your ship. Then you could go to The Captain's table from anywhere your ship happens to be.

agreed, it should be easy to get to and this is as easy as it could get .
and they could do something like this because it is now a veteran perk so people can't rage about it (as much, people rage about everything in STO)
