Please make the Federations Captains Table a little more interesting and accessible
ie. Dont make it a seperate starbase area, how about placing it into Earth Starbase like the Nighclub and making it an area off limits except for those authorised personnel and giving us a reason to visit it more often. How about better purchasing or selling deals for vet captains the longer we have been subscribed or lifetime members. What about our own apartment or office we can acces through it that we can decorate with trophies.
Currently its incredibly boring and pretty much nobody uses it except out of curiousity once or twice.
Thats my only complaint - I'm loving this game, and waiting for my T6 Oddie and the long wait to save up for the wells class and dauntless sci ship, but I consider it a labour of love
Anyone else have any ideas on this
Thankyou again to the Devs for keeping the game fresh and alive

But one thing I would love to see with Captain's Table revamp is doorways leading to the various Hubs. In making a type of shortcut.
Adding to this, the Devs also mentioned plans of probably adding a similar and even more detailed club to the Captain's Table, in addition to maybe using it to allow Lifer or long-subbed KDF-Romulans and KDF players access to the ESD Club (but preventing them from moving further into ESD) as another perk.
A shame that project fell though though. The Captain's Table is well deserving of a major refresh, and could use a larger general area given it's own impressive size.
Long as the Table Room itself isn't touched. The Table Room itself, even years later, has to be one of the best looking interiors in STO. The Hallway and console rooms, that could go.
Hmm, come to think of it. Wonder where the doors would be on New Romulus and on Qo'nos?
I fully agree that it desperately needs some love but I think that project pretty much died when he left.
Easy, its basically a meeting room on a ship / station. They just need to create a mission that has it as a focal point.
Adding any non-cosmetic items for sale in this area? NO. DON'T.
As a lifetimer myself, I already get access to stuff others don't get to see. Stuff like the Chimera and variations. Stuff like that free T5 ship and that one free T5U upgrade token.
Don't go full pay2win with adding even a single non-cosmetic item, regardless of how useless it is. All lifetime is is monthly zen and a single ship not obtainable otherwise, and this is a great deal imo. Because the rest of the community doesn't get locked out, and has just as cheap access to ships far superior the lifetimers get for free. Which is a very good thing.
As for the revamp, I'd say cut out the space map, make it a ground map only, give said ground map a more Klingon/Romulan look instead of the 100% Fed K-7 look and make it a single room a la ESD. And then indeed place doors leading to various ingame locations such as ESD, First City, New Romulus Command, Dyson Joint Command, etc.

The Captains' Table is not faction-exclusive, so why call it "the Federations Captains Table"?
And some of us do visit it, although our visits are fairly rare. For me personally, I think a means of access in the New Romulus system would be a welcome addition, since RRF LTS are able to get there, but have to go to the Sol System or the Qo'noS System in order to access it.
"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."
Also if there were some other perks like exclusive duty officer assignments.
Would also be nice if you could invite a guest (like most exclusive member clubs), but if you were to leave, the guest would be forced to leave too.
Where you could gamble Dil, Lobi and ec against other captain's willing to play.
Would be nice to have a a few VIP only costumes, purchasable only at the Captain Table's Vendor. (Things like the gambler's visor DATA wears in TNG)
A Captain's Table only space and ground set, so we can show off our prestige, being the LTS members that we are.
This would drive a few sales, and make the LTS a little more attractive.
But I'd be happy with a VIP Poker area.
High stakes: Lobi
Mid Stakes: Dil
Low Stakes: EC
I know I would show up, if there was Poker.
The "monetization" aspect - unlock via LTS or paying for a Gold Sub for 400 days, is covered.
The "reasons to use" aspect - now this "needs" work...
I mean, unlike your "average" MMO, which segregates most/all chats to the specific zone (outside of guild), STO's plethora of "custom, all points in game" channels means that I don't have to travel to base X or zone Y to chat it up with "like minded players", I just join the appropriate channel and, heck, I can drop a comment at one of them while my character's spraying full auto fire into a cluster of targets...
So, to make the table "attractive", it needs services. However, other than tucking all the Veteran reward "vendors" into the table - what services can be provided at the table that can't / isn't provided anywhere else in game, and is of such a nature that it doesn't unbalance the game?
Standard base amenities? I'm going to jump through the hoops of hitting up "headquarters" just to jump to the Table to get at the standard services? Nope...
Combining every "vendor" in the game? So that if I have to go fleet-supply shopping, I can just head to the table instead of heading to Andor for probes, Risa for stabililzers, etc. etc? Starting to look attractive, especially if these vendors sell at the "best rate possible without an unlock like Tuffli or Embassy vendor"...
Having table access via the dropdown? I'd love to see "Visit Starship Bridge, Visit Shuttle Bridge, Visit Captain's Table" in my dropdown, especially after it has all these services...
Extra "social" gameplay like Dabo, (Mythical) Poker, etc? Always welcome.
To me, one of the best uses I've ever come up for with the Captain's Table (both Space and ground) is to use it as a preview area of sorts. To use a recent example, right after they announced the "Dreadnought" line, put the models of the Yamato etc. up in Table space so that Captains with access could swing by and see the models in all their in-game glory... Maybe even use it to slip "teasers" - everyone knows a T6 Defiant / BoP is coming, so if you have the models done, why not slip them into the table so that those with access can see them?

I would put the existing station in orbit around earth. The nebula warp point is an eyesore and it just adds an extra map transition. Just move the crazy lava station to earth orbit so we can just fly over and dock on it.

I like these ideas. Adding Special Access missions and vendors would increase appeal. In fact, I'll add to that. These vendors should also have the best buy / sell prices in the game. Maybe even selling high-end commodities at low prices (without depending on the Romulan Embassy Fleet holdings).
