I just went into Wolf 359 and noticed some new Borg fragments..perhaps old but I just noticed.
Is there anything else in this sector to take note of?
Also can we not make this more of a hot spot? Such as place a ship to sell anti borg weapons? Like their used to be on DS9?
I just wish these places had more to do with the game than a one time visit.

To add a gift shop.
The day will not save them. And we own the night.
You haven't visited many historic sites have you? I fear that they are becoming more and more "touristy" as in becoming tourist traps. And Tacky ones at that. As for a vendor at Wolf 359, I could take it or leave it.
However, it would ruin the mood of "thousands of people dying to an awesome ex-Starfleet captain being possessed and becoming a cyborg zombie" that Wolf 359 shows if there was a D'kora running around hailing "Anti-Borg beams, Anti-Borg cannons, "I survived Wolf 359" T-shirts and much more, at just-above-cost prices! Deal of a lifetime, honor the fallen by purchasing one of the unique antiquities only sold here!"
I'm not a good advertiser but you get the point. Besides, Anti-Borg weapons are never leaving Rep because you need to spend your Dil there so you buy Zen with $ and not Dil.
However, I would be all for an "I survived Wolf 359" T-shirt xD
We hardly get any anti-borg weapons. They don't even give anti-borg antiprotons anymore.
Stay classy, Ferengi merchants.

Totally unneeded of course, but that makes it the very best of whine
Would be really cool to match up with the work done over at Ex Astris. Course this would lead to problems like having to model some of the more fugly starships from that scene.
Course, could always add a readable part to the holomemorial stating that Starfleet had removed some technology to prevent looting... and hence could just use pieces from available ship models...
... which I have no idea if it actually possible. Sounds good in theory and would be a fun project to take on
Thing is, they did salvage the ships. In the episode Unification, you see the very same ships from Wolf 359 at Surplus Depot Z15.
While this was likely just recycling the models/footage for production purposes, they effectively made this the case by having identical wreckage at both locations.
I think it would be funny to have a Ferengi sitting among the ships that when you find him he offers to sell you things.
Wolf 359 is just there for fanfare, it is a left over from when the game launched and looks neglected compared to other assets in the game.
LTS, here since...when did this game launch again?
That sounds like a better argument to go clean it up study it and destroy it rather than letting it sit there to see what happens.
Beaming over to ships, transporting survivors out.
As I say needs work, but I think you know what I mean. Could make it a special even every year to commemorate the battle.
I don't think that modern day and historic treatment of seafaring vessels is all that comparable to Starfleet. Even a little shuttle could get those ships home, they have tractor beams after all!
Another factor that has is the probability of looting, a ship at the bottom of the see is hard to get to, so nobody is going to try and loot it, this also leaves the corpses rather safe. I'm not sure how starfleet feel about dead folk, but I do recall multiple cases of respecting a races/religions traditions, which are unlikely to include adrift in space...
That said, it is what they traditionally do with dead officers - just fire them off into the abyss and hope no Kobali are nearby...
The day will not save them. And we own the night.
Keep it the same.
Or the Borg for that matter. Remember, they can revive someone after they have been dead for over 72 hours. No doubt they got that technology from the Kobali.
As for "salvaging and looting", Decipher's Star Trek Customizable Card Game had a mission at Wolf 359 called "Secret Salvage" where Romulan or Klingon players could loot the site for points. The location could even be target by the Borg with the objective "Salvage Starship".
Speaking of Decipher's CCG, what do we think of a Star Trek CCG online game similar to the Magic: The Gathering online? It'd be fun to see "Data laughing" come to life.
Decipher did do that for a while. All of the cards cost the same as the real ones. Needless to say, it didn't go over very well. Since the game is more or less defunct (save for what the Continuing Committe is doing) I wouldn't be against having a variation of it in STO itself so long as you don't have to spend real money (EC and dilithium cost I would be fine with).
