What are your hopes and dreams for a possible DS9 station revamp?

Personally, I'd like a few more areas of the station to explore (habitat ring perhaps) and an updated Quarks (with a running Vic Fontaine hologram in one of the holosuites). And maybe a spawn point at either a docking door or transporter pad. Beaming in in the middle of the Promenade always seems weird. My main desire is a Vic and his club that I can interact with; I'd love an excuse to pull out my snazzy suit!

"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
All of these seem like neat ideas.
All in all though, I would just like a more authentic look instead of the overly cheery look most of the station has.

And yeah, personally, I'd love to beam in to a transporter room. Or at least have us spawn in at a docking port airlock.
I agree. They are no longer needed as the system has changed. (besides, where were these 'elite' soldiers when the Jem'hadar took the station in 'The 2900' FE series? Awol?
In addition to that, this is what I posted in another thread: arcgames.com/en/forums/startrekonline/#/discussion/1204651/season-11-and-ds9
- Moving the Medical officer out of the cafeteria and into the Infirmary.
- Moving the factional turn-in Security Officers out of the Replimat and next to the Security Office. (Oh, and while were at it, can we please get a copy/paste of these two into New Romulus Command Center?
- Adding the 'hinted at' main Transporter pads the station is supposed to have (as well as making the pads in Ops functional by adding a 'Beam to ship' dialog box there)
- Moving the ship 'parking spots' at DS9. I think there are different size ship parking spots clustered together between the upper docking arms of the station. (You can see for yourself at most stations - smaller ships tend to cluster together, larger ships also cluster together, when generated when someone beams off the station and 'transforms" into their ship in space). It would be easy (in my head anyway - lol) to distribute these size-oriented 'parking spots' to three places at DS9, relieving the mess that the current parking situation entails (a giant ball of ships all crammed between the upper docking arms) while adding a much more canon feel to the station. Simply sprinkle the small and medium-sized parking spots AROUND the middle docking ring of the station and split the large parking spots to a 50/50 mix above and BELOW the station thus utilizing all six docking arms for large ships. This way small "Defiant"-sized ships park around the Docking Ring and large "Enterprise-D"-sized ships use both the upper and lower docking arms (just as seen on TV!).

Exchange, bank and ship selector all in one room/area right next to the spot where you beam down.

That is.... really boring, and doesn't exactly encourage you to go out and explore any of the social hubs in question.
Why bother going to Sick Bay looking for a doctor to fix you up, when they happen to be right there in the same room as the Chief Engineer, Dock Master, and a simple console dedicated to the Galactic Exchange?
By that logic, why design any more of any social hub other than just that one room adjacent to the beam-in point? It's not like you need to have separate rooms for your mission contacts; being in the future and all, you can simply ring them up over a comm line.
..... dude, seriously. Going out and walking around a social hub to access the various features and utility functions isn't going to kill you.
As it stands, several of these kinds of characters are already fairly close to each other depending on what hub you're in (ESD has all the ship related ones literally all next to each other behind two long desks).
If Taco is given the go ahead it will be even more accurate than the shows version (as it will be a full circle not a half-circle).
He has the studio plans he knows what to add, he's not going to miss anything out.
Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

All those, plus something worth shopping for. I know NPC vendors have been irrelevant more or less since the game launched but this would is an opportunity to add worthwhile, large cost, EC items (such as minor customization unlocks, pets, and buffs.)

Oh man, that would be nice.
Maybe also weapons from vendors that go up to at least green or blue quality, too.
Before the forums moved again there was a discussion thread in the Art Subforum. I think the gist was (from Taco) that you can beam down into the promenade transporters or into the cargo bay/docking arm then interact with the door and be teleported to the promenade.

They even have a head start on content, just throw out some of the remaining NPC clothes options (such as generic civ/sci jacket) that aren't available to players.
Last season they added some automatically. Now just put a little theater around the rest.

I want there to be a habitat section, where players can actually have an apartment (player housing which could then lead to a whole other bunch of customization options).
I want to see actual docking bays and cargo bays, appropriately decorated, with windows to see outside.
A medbay.
Respective factional embassies would also be nice, too.
More music variety in Quark's.
More on Topic,, would be GREAT to see DS9 get the same treatment ESD has gotten. Make the map more show accurate with just a touch of modernization,, not overly done,, but just enough upgrades to show that time has passed.

Isn't there one in Ops already? Or is that just a boff vendor? I forget.

In Ops there is a bridge officer vendor but only for Federation players.
Aside from a boff trainer, there are other things I'd like to see:
Odo's security office, hopefully with the jail in back. They can place the security officers you turn contraband into in this office. Makes perfect sense.
An actual sick bay so the chief medical officer isn't standing in a corner near the exchange.
Quark's: spiral staircase leading to the upper level as well as an entrance to the bar from the upper level of the ring, as seen on the TV show.
Get rid of all the sick NPCs wandering around that cough all over the place. (Or let us put them out of their misery
Have some actual Bajoran NPCs wandering around, instead of just a mash of aliens.
Ewwwww, please NO. The fact that STO has not gone with that monstrosity is one of the things I like better here than in the novelverse.

The Zócalo
Sections of the space station color coded, for example, Red sector, Blue sector, etc.
Transportation to get around the ship, like a monrail.
LOL, but wrong franchise.

Then some other Federation designed base. Doesn't make sense that, 30+ years on, it hasn't been replaced.

Sickbay and other labs
Vic Fontaine if not in a holodeck, but at least hanging around the Quark's Bar somewhere.
Beam in a transporter room, or near the air lock. So it would look like you used the air lock to get on.
Security office and other rooms?
This way the foundry writers can use a lot more of the station for their stories.
