Simple little game here... there is only 1 rule. Only make 1 reply per answer...
The question that you need to answer is (answer with what you would change, add, remove or design in the game):

If I were a Star Trek Online GM or Developer I would.........

I would make space more unpredictable with things like supernovas, black holes, worm holes, new planets, and even make it where the borg can attack home worlds like Earth and Qo'noS.....

Truthfully, I like all the mechanics in the game, they just aren't very... condusive to a Star Trek atmosphere. So, I would turn STO into SGO. Stargate Online.
It all works, seeming as they mostly fought things in Stargate, even when exploring.

If I were a Dev I would make it so you don't have to blow up all the new people you meet.
Although being a GM could be a lot of fun if you are chaotic evil or chaotic neutral.

Make my bridge officers carry me on a throne like the Pharaohs traveled on, setting me down only to fight. If my Bridge officers fell, I could fire a palm blast orbital strike that was rapid fire. My opponents would take the damage they dealt along with what I dished out.
My ship would still be the R.R.W. Lupa in appearance, but it would have the size and abilities of the planet killer, the cool down between blasts would be the same for dual beams, plus it could fire 360*.
When ever I beamed down to a location all NPC's and Players character would instantly bow, and respectfully say in a chat bubble, "Empress!"
Every type of currency, including event specific would be maxed out even if I purchased something.
If I didn't feel like finishing a mission I would make an easy button to instantly finish it.
I would make an ice castle on Andoria where I could have my character sing, "let it go," I would also design a dress for the occasion.
Yup, give me a chance to be a goddess and I'll exploit that in a second!!!

I love ColonelMarik's ideas. I once came up with a plan myself, which involved making scanning into a task type in itself, alongside "kill enemies", "talk" and "interact".
Basically, you know how in the Federation tutorial, one of the tasks is to scan an injured crewman and take the readings back to the EMH? (Or it used to be, anyway - I haven't done the new tutorial). Having just been introduced to the "V" key tricorder scan, I was puzzled that you didn't use that, but instead a standard "F" interact (the first of many...).
In my idea, it would be - scanning would be a separate type of task. Pressing V would enter "scan mode", just as B switches on "shooter mode". As in the series, there'd be different types of scan, depending on what type of tricorder you have equipped - it would be up to the player to work out what type would be useful in a situation. For instance, a scan for lifesigns would show figures superimposed on the view, like an infra-red camera; a Mk I tricorder would just show that they were there, a Mk IV might add colours indicating temperature and pulse rate (based on the NPC's species), a Mk VI would identify common species itself and detect their HP status. A medical tricorder would show a figure, similar to the "injuries" window. And so on. Similarly you'd fit various sensors to your ship.
That would make exploration exciting again, too. At the moment, if there are new and unfamiliar things in a place, the only way to tell the player what they're like is through dialogue boxes, which are a bit boring. So the usual thing is that when you visit a strange new world, you find familiar things there, which you then shoot. But if you can explore for yourself with your tricorder, that changes.
Hmm, I can see how this could end up actually being bigger than combat if you let it... but why not? I don't know any other MMORPG that does something like that, so it'd be a unique selling point.
But if that's too ambitious at this time of day, then I'd get me a playable Borg cube and come whizzing by every now and again and dare the players to fight me. There's nothing like a real live GM villain to get people together. (Ever played Underlight?)
This has got to be the best suggestion I have read so far.... especially from a Fed point of view.
Having said that, If I were a Dev, I would add the option to "Skip" the ground component of a mission... After all, what happened to the regulation of Captains can't join an away team, or the answer to said regulation of "Captains Prerogative"?
int that cute...BUT ITS WRONG!!!!!!
the kazon are actually a race of the acient alien guy
Yes they bred
So humans in the Star Trek universe launched all the idiots on Earth into space to become the humans we know in the 24th Century Federation and the idiots became the Kazon?
Klingon Defense Force and Romulan Republic players are special representatives of their governments acting autonomously with Starfleet or just stalking Federation units to keep an eye on what they are doing. They are the only ones who get access to unique items from their homeworlds. This also includes Andorian, Cardassian, Vulcan, and Dominion players. All of these "groups" just want someone to be present at every hotspot Starfleet is involved in, since each of their governments wants a say in those incidents. No all-out total war. Just constant one-upsmanship everywhere.

use to be my sig
have started monetizing the forums by now.
Lastly tovan would be spaced by the Borg after they final found someone worse then the Kazon. :P
But seriously his character would be rewritten in a heart beat, to be a less whiny wannabe Luke ("Wesley crusher") skywalker who has no real character flaws and seems to be more plastic than a Barbie and Ken doll.
