You sure it was "that" same creature? You encountered a member of the same species... there is no proof it was the same one from the show.
In a novel, The Fall of Terok Nor, it was revealed that, by 2374, a real Farpoint Station was constructed, a project that was referenced in dialogue at the end of Encounter at Farpoint. And because of that, the Devs could create anything they'd like should they decided to create such a location in STO.
It could become another fleet holding. That seems to be popular with Devs.

It's actually named " Farpoint somethingsomething," so I think we are at least intended to believe that.
In the concept that would work as a halloween episode, with the mission could work under the idea of something like a haunted house like mission. The mission might start out with the captain, as well as another vessel arriving in the solar system to investigate the Farpoint like station on the world. The player-captain would transport down to the main city around the station finding thru investigating that it looks like it had been attacked, and was also even under seige by quite a massive force even with signs of the world having been bombarded. After the player-captain investigates the city outside the station they might get a static filled garbled message from the npc-captain that they are experiencing strange phenomenon and/or even being attacked asking for assistance. At this point the player-captain would proceed into the Farpoint like station, and begin to experience the same things creatures an even strange paranormal phenomenon, while they move thru the station finding evidence of what had happened. In the mission it might be hinted at that this creature was tortured like the Farpoint creature was yet to a much greater degree, and maybe even driven into insanity, which caused it to go even further in it's attacks (who knows what it might do to the people of the world it captured) an using it's powers in a much different way to punish the people that captured it.
Directly from the "Encounter at Farpoint" pilot:
Picard: "Captains Log, stardate 41174.2. The Agreement for the rebuilding of Farpoint Station has been completed per my instructions."
It's very much there even if the original was just an illusion created by an alien space creature.
Been around since Dec 2010 on STO and bought LTS in Apr 2013 for STO.
In science, many artifact titles have been given.
Yep, Farpoint Station 2, is most likely there, now.
MAP EXPANSION!
More work for our favorite map maker the Taco who must not be named.
But not this guy.
This guy doesn't look anything like a Taco.

True enough, but then along come a King of Nyrds type, Michael Okuda who manages to put it all together, warts and all, in one book.

Okay, more than one.
Mike's my hero. I used to write with a group at ASR (alt.starfleet.rpg). Mike's book(s) helped me to keep my stories Trekishly accurate. That is to say, far more accurate than the differences found in Trek movies verus Trek series, but only slightly better than the differences between seasons one and seasons seven of any given series.
