What items would you like to see in the game for nothing more than fun (flavor) opportunities? Items such as:
1. RAINBOW GENERATOR, that would allow your beams to change color with each fire.
2. A BAJORAN SOLAR SAIL SHIP. Yes it'd be pretty much useless, but sheesh I want one!
What other pure fun/flavor items would you want?
Bajoran Solar Sail Ship.... That would be pretty cool actually.
But I'd settle for a mission reward Omni Disruptor.
There's still a few notable races that I'd like to see playable that aren't at the moment. The biggest names to come to mind are the Cardassians and the Hirogen (I was so amped way back in the early days of STO that Sela's pact with the Hirogen would lead to them being playable when the Romulans were released... stupid D'Tan and his OTHER Romulan faction...).
I know both can be made decently well with the creator, but I'm still nervous (or hopeful) that one day they'll both get proper treatments. Then again, with both having a cross-factional ships n' gear now available all over, it seems somewhat less likely
Honestly, though, I just came back after a few years away and I'm honestly depressed by how few new races have been added to STO. I think since I left we got the Romulan faction, ridiculous space cats for the Klingons, and... Talaxians? Maybe at this point I should just suck it up and make my own Hirogen.
Some of those MMOs that you have listed still come out with faction specific content. 100% unique content might be pushing it, but 10% or 25% unique content is certainly not for other MMOS. Even if we got 5% unique content in STO would be nice.
Good news for you then. The KDF has 24 unique missions and 84 "same as other factions". A bit over 20%.
Yes I understand you mean endgame content and STFs, but as has been said, that would not be feasible for the comparatively (to WoW or similar games) small playerbase a single STO faction, especially a non Fed faction, would have. Because let's face it, even if the options were balanced, most people would still go Fed main, just because the IP is a Fed IP, and KDF and Rommies are background to tell Fed stories. And while some people do like to explore the "enemy side" (RSE anyone?), they're a minority. But stories just for these are just as expensive to make as single stories. Also, the way Kagran runs part of the Iconian missions isn't classical Fed (even if Nog-approved).
I do agree that some more different dialogue for missions would be nice, not only tailored to factions, but also to events. (Like the DS9 lady still trash talking my Gorn to behave after he saved DS9). But unique missions or queues or whatevers would mean less for everybody.
My mother was an epohh and my father smelled of tulaberries
The Rising of the Delta is the best expansion ever, and people love it to death because it is a good day to die in the endless struggle for supremacy of your own conviction. (A spin off of the Delta Rising is the best expansion ever and all the players love it.)
It might be more my skimming is getting worse, but I didn't see this one mentioned so I just had to. Disco-ball effect ala the GPL prize as a deflector effect. Nothing says the party's arrived like a multi-colored Sensor Scan.

Nice idea but given a scan can be fired off even in the middle of a massed battle, would you really want even more FX clutter while you're trying to find some poor needy enemy who is in dire need of a spare generously donated torpedo?
If you can simulate Dabo, why not 3d chess, stratagema, poker even - perhaps in a social area? Give folks someplace to go for their RPing, too.
Poker is agood idea, all they to do is create the functionality, and add it to the poker table in the crew lounge (Federation ships, raised section at one end), Then add those tables to appropriate locales.
More dialogue options... they do nothing but make a person think "Wow, they say *this* to my Bajoran but *that* to my Trill, what will they say to my Ferengi?" Maybe, like they do with class-specific dialogue options from time-to-time, it could even impact a mission slightly.

Kidding aside. the Bejoran solar sailing ship would be cool

Deactive them in PvP areas.
