I need to know you won't just plop the Delta Quadrant down in front of us and just abandon it over time.
I need to know there will be new things over time to make it interesting, maybe some new story or new weapon types. anything that has content worth investing in.
I want to see the DQ flow with rich stories and tidbits, not just plopped down for us to forget about over time.

The correct word is "want" not "need". You need oxygen, you need shelter, you want to k ow future plans.
So I'm going with...we go where the iconians "are"
Next expansion could be mirror universe to get their iconians to help us defeat our iconians...

Let me know how your demand to know the future plans of a company works out for you,...

Why do you need an answer before Delta Rising launches? I plan to wait a few months before I make any judgements. Hold off your purchases till then. I waited a year before getting Lifetime, but considering how many games I lose interest in it was wise to wait and see.
Thats how I equate cyrptic and content.
I need to know how, and why.
I need to know who, (where's Q?)
I need to know, which, and what.
I need to know when they'll kill the bots.
I want to know where and when.
I want to know there, and then.
I hope to know, how and why.
I hope to know why iconians lie.
I mean to know, here and now.
I mean to know why cryptics shy.
I feel, I know, I don't get what I want.
I feel, I know, its cryptics wont's.
I know that I feel your pain.
I know that cryptics out to gain.
I know that there is no fix.
I know that you have to take the hits.
I know that good or bad.
I know that the game makes me glad.
The Kazon border ended around 200 light years from where we "start" in 2373, so obviously it isn't that hard to make a "small" trip and bump into us, especially with 37 years of potential border expansion.
Also that map is a bit dubious, they have the Gamma Orionis block quite a bit off, although the in-game map doesn't help, and the Star Charts are a bit shaky on it (which is the basis for the in-game map), that one is quite a bit off (best estimates would place Cestus six sectors "south" of Qo'Nos).
But anyway, we still have quite a bit of Delta Quadrant to explore beyond what will be added in game with the expansion, even from the canon stuff (1000 light years "north", 400 "south")
There's like 100 billion star systems in this galaxy. You just can't "finish off a quadrant". Not only STO but the Star Trek IP itself also got an incredible huge space to grow.
And not talking about shenanigans like the Iconians who are definitely out of this galaxy.
When I think about everything we've been through together,
maybe it's not the destination that matters, maybe it's the journey,
and if that journey takes a little longer,
so we can do something we all believe in,
I can't think of any place I'd rather be or any people I'd rather be with.
Why do you ask questions to which you already know the answer?
Just depends what scale they do it on, at Alpha/Beta scale it would be a vast number, at Delta scale though it would be 15 sectors, which is certainly achievable (I could see them leaving it at the 1000 scale to match the book though, and break it up over several updates to get their moneys worth out).
Don't worry!! This wont be like KDF!!
Wont be like ROM!!
Wont be like tribble breeding!
It for sure wont be like the second deflector!!
Or ship interior games!
Or frequent featured episodes
Or remastered episodes
No No this will be better!!!
You need to get out more, Star Charts isn't the "official" map...STO's map only loosely follows Star Charts and has made some notable differences. In fact Star Charts doesn't map a number of key episode locations...it's just a map "for fun" and not really any attempt to reconcile Trek events to reality, or STO, or the Expanded Universe.
Otherwise, you need to look more into the RL Sector Map project - and maybe you'll understand why it looks so "wrong" to you -- and perhaps, you'll open your mind to a wider Trek universe.
All I can tell you is Star Charts wasn't enough. When I make a foundry mission I want to have a place, I want it to be in a reasonably sensible universe.
In short: it. must. make. sense.
Mandel, et al. make maps that are beautiful works of art...I honestly love to look at them -- however, they are inaccurate to real life, they are inaccurate to a consistent universe...and they are not canon by a long shot. I applaud them for figuring out a way to make more $$ from the Trek franchise, and I applaud the beauty of their work.
But when I pick a place for a foundry mission, I want to direct the player to a door which is close to the real life star I have chosen...Star Charts won't tell me that, and as I point out -- what it does tell me won't mesh with the real star orientations. So when I chose Tau 6 Eridani, I want that door to be as near as possible where Tau 6 Eridani really would be on the STO Map.
As for Star Charts showing all the systems of the Federation, as you assert, no...no it doesn't. There are far less than 500 TOS-era worlds shown there, and to casually dismiss this or that place as unimportant -- what if someone wants to use it for a Foundry mission? Most of Trek takes place away from the important - asides from an unusual fetish for Earth and Vulcan.
In short, and this is the last I'll say here, because I'm not going to argue with you on the topic -- It's a great big universe out there, why limit yourself?
