Checking back through a long list of promised upgrades and new content, I found myself deeply saddened at the disconnect between what most players seem to want (also what was talked of in other information updates) and what is on the menu for release. Don't get me wrong, I am happy at the progress Cryptic continues to make and hope they'll add some of these things mentioned in interviews, videos, and reviews from around the web. I doubt anyone would disagree with this "dream wish list" and I hope the "secret project" is from one of these theoretical possiblities. Feel free to add your own!
** More Kerrat type Open PVP zones
** True Open PVP areas with no alternate "mission" objective
** Sector Control and Persistent 'ownership' of space areas.
** Death penalty solution for PVP
** Persistent Battle Record for individuals, teams, fleets.
** Exportable XML data for 3rd party record keeping of PVP battles (see EVE Killboard-killmail)
** Free travel for all players in all zones (remember end of beta?)
** Meaningful PVP rewards (no more "stores" please)
** Ability to lose/destroy items,officers, ships, characters
** Ability to capture ships, officers, items, characters
** Seamless tranisitions between ground and space pvp, inter-related and coordinated (base attack, planet attack, etc)
** Economy. (more territory= cheaper ships etc)
** Player built ships, harvestable resources, industry
** Player controlled mission direction (7th core is invading Omega Leonis! When they decide!)
** Real fleet development/control. (starbase building/conquering. Planet ownership/fealty)
** Ability to "truly" control a fleet, having additional ships akin to photonic fleet but actually directly controlled like sfc series (or like ground boffs currently are at least)
** Actual alteration to the game world from player action. IE: Klignons can actually destroy Earth and end the game. (dream a little dream)
Obviously most of these are PVP oriented as the dynamic between players is what makes a game great imho.
ADD to this list and highlight your favorites. Let not what could be vanish into the ether for lack of wont! Huzzah and thanks for reading <S>:D

I like some of your ideas that can be stripped of the PvP, though.
No more Orion slave girls...
