Even AI's would feel more challenging if you had to work around their cover.
What should happen is increase or decrease of hit chance.
A. Behind cover like a chest high wall the enemy has a reduced hit chance by about 80% since 20% is exposed
B. Waist high wall standing 50%. 50% exposed when standing.
C. Kneeling in the open 25%, no cover but reduced target size. evade or dodge does not happen.
D. kneeling behind a waist high wall 80%. 20% is exposed.
E. Kneeling should have a 25% bonus accuracy and small crit chance increase when firing.
F. Increased chance to get hit when standing still in the open but increase in accuracy and crit chance, evade and dodge is not happening if you dont move.
G. Moving in the open decrease across the board in hit chance and accuracy walk less decrease, run more decrease, and sprint the most. Sprint and you have 10% chance of getting hit or hitting your target, run 50% chance and walk 90%.

Do you realize how many critical hits happen in ground PvP? How would you feel if you needed to carry 2,000 regenerators just to play PvP because of some crazy critical hit mechanic stacks insane amounts of unclearable debuffs upon your character. And do you really want to sit there going down the line to remove all of those debuffs every time you take a stack of crits?
Adding Accuracy to ground would be a nightmare. You have shooter mode, which can miss due to player error. How would you feel if every attack you landed with shooter mode only had a chance of actually hitting the enemy? That would be a highly unenjoyable mechanic. The current system is fine as is, dodge (50% damage reduction) serves as an excellent form of damage mitigation. Crouching has +50% chance to dodge, sprinting has a +75% chance to dodge, rolling has a +100% chance to dodge. Solid objects block damage entirely and cover shields block damage until destroyed. I really do not see what needs to be changed.

Think about it.
Escort is taking a beating, teammate in a cruiser sees it and rushes over positioning between the enemy and the escort, enemy attacks are now on the cruiser.
You can already take advantage of terrain and hide behind it.
Yeah, various types of cover increases or decreases you chances to attack or receive damage.
The faster you go, the less accurate weapons will be and some abilities are disabled, like sniper targeting. But some abilities like dual pistol sweep could have a slight advantage.
Well isn't that how it is in the real world when you shoot while moving? Of course you are going to miss more than when you are stationary. That would be a literal risk vs reward, if you decide to go into shooter mode, attack, then miss, then it's only you to blame.
So while accuracy is a roll outside of shooter mode, in shooter mode accuracy is based on player movement and the aiming of the player.
Shooter mode is already borked, first you can no longer do first persoon shooter and whats left can hit other items you are not aiming at. But that doesnt matter because shooter mode can turn off the accuracy modifications as well as the auto aim BS we are stuck with now.

Protection for regular officers should be in the form of regular armour (but please make it look less like "Mass Effet" and more like something Starfleet would issue. The regular STO uniforms have a material that sort of look like the "combat uniform" from DS9) or deployable shield generators.
