Catch-22. Why is it unused? Because there is nothing to do. So players visit it once and forget about it. So devs don't do anything about it. So players don't come.
A simple Transwarp would help immensely ... there was also talk about Acces from Club 47, but considering this was over 6 months ago ... I'm not going to hold my breath anymore ...

Here is Tacofang's reason for no Captain's Table access from Club 47.
So the Klingons and Romulans will likely require their own version of Club 47 before Club 47 gets Captain's Table access.
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.
If they remove it, the people who can go there but never use it will complain that it's been removed. That's what you get when you let people who paid some money into the game years ago and nothing else since then think they're somehow owed something.
Free Tibet!
Really though it was with the best intentions for vet players at launch but Cryptic over time seems to have abandoned that. Maybe it's my imagination that the devs said they'd hang out there with the vete players and stuff but that never ever happened. Not saying it should but let's just say things were said but never happened....story of STO/Cryptic really.
The fact remains that the Captain's Table is pretty dead, and there is nothing really special about it. Now if they opened it up to non lifers via C-Store (Even if its 500-1000 Zen account unlock), and maybe some unique vendors... might breath some life into it. But as it is now... there is nothing there that can't be done at ESD, which is easier to get to.

^^ This!
If they made it Club 47 style (aka, beautiful), I might visit again, But yeah, everything accessible can be done elsewhere too (and often better).
It simply needs a graphical overhaul, for one. And so does K-7. And DS9. I'd say, start with the latter two first.
Never has been.
The Captains table is absolutely unchanged. other then a three vendor console/NPC's REMOVED, since launch. (yes, they bloody well NERFED a social zone.. some inane fear that LTM'ers would be elitist snobs etc I guess... honestly, I've utterly given up on figuring out why cryptic does what it does when it does it)
and what was removed was useful, and life timers didn't have to hang out at ESD or Qo'nos.. everything could be done at the CT...
Honestly... I no longer expect anything of Cryptic myself...
If I could go to the Captain's table to handle my business instead of ESD, they fear that ESD would die, and with it, the game.
If there are that many people on ESD that if they were at the CT instead that ESD would die then Cryptic has bigger problems.
Somehow though it's perfectly fine to have a completely useless CT sitting out there, but if it takes even 10% of the traffic away from ESD then suddenly it's bad for the game?
Then why did they make it in the first place?
The people that are utilizng the CT won't talk to each other or help each other out in the ways that they would if they were on ESD with the spammers and people arguing about politics and religion?
They wouldn't maybe, just possibly, form their own tight-knit sub-community?
Apparently not.
Giving people something to actually do at the CT is apparently bad for the game, so no. Expect nothing more from the CT. Ever.
A quiet place to maybe do some RP and to enjoy some different sights, but otherwise just standing as a monument to squandered potential.
This XP pool is active for 20 hours max and can only be applied once a day.
Would that give it veteran worthy purpose?
High stakes Dabo would be nice and some minor additions to the map would be great! Some new bind on pickup perks like discounted special event rewards. Making them bind on pick up at a 15% discount means they don't impact the Exchange and yet it offers up that same non-tradeable item slightly cheaper for that character.

I can't imagine what they could do to make it worth going to over the other social hubs.
