While I get the idea of LTS players would/could feel a bit snubbed by it, and I see that side, I think there is a way to do it.
Federation faction could be
Alien, obvious reasons
Vulcan, a FF and a cool study subject of Logical vs Needs of the Many or Collective
Betazoid, near human
Klingon
Orion, again near human
Gorn, giant big TRIBBLE Gorn with invincible shields
Alien
RR
Alien
Reman, former captured test subject of Sela, why kill your own people when you could perform tests on remans get them to work and then kill them off.
And LifeTime Subs would get the ones they already have + plus the new ones.

Oh I would make it an episode/arc/expac thing, not just a z-store option.

Anyway, I would prefer a costume unlock like 7 of 9, but more mechanical prosthetics instead of skin-tight outfits. I don't care about playing a S00P3R SP3SHAL B0RG character with a tragic assimilation backstory also from the Mirror Universe and they don't play by the Federation's rules, I just like the thought of having a bunch of spare parts we found in the garage sticking out of me. Plus, it would be a lot more likely to happen than infringing on one of the very few things that make the Lifetime purchase worthwhile.
I'm still trying to figure what OP is trying to suggest!
We already have playable Borg with the LTS. A Borg Co-Operative faction 'may' be the only workable option as logically The Collective are One, not individuals. However, I'd only accept the Co-operative as an LTS perk as it would make current playable LTS Borg worthless if it was otherwise. Seven was a mouth-piece of the Borg in 'Scorpion', not a true individual in the Collective, and I highly doubt the Borg Queen will ever consider letting any Borg be in such position to be taken from her again. Locutus was supposed to be an equal, but look how that turned out for her! The Collective's strength is in the single voice and single mind, so can you really say that thousands of players are going to stick that mantra in this game!?
But we've been over this hundreds of times already, and this really should be put to bed now.
I'd love if we could have more than just the humans, Klingons, and Romulans as liberated Borg. There's so many awesome species and we get the normal ones.

Just set your HUD color palette to Orion and you're set.
As far as "gamplay" goes, VIL has already set the precedent that all future factions will get extremely minimal faction content; maybe ONE unique intro mission, but then share the same content as everyone else. Because of that there is *almost* no point in even adding new factions.

They could also do something similar to how Vanguard JH were implemented and give the LTS versions space traits while non-LTS accounts lack such traits. And if they want to really go overboard, they can have a paid c-store option with space traits but LTS get's a "superior" space and ground trait variant. LTS should also get a lot more visual options and/or bridge officers that other accounts won't have access too.

I totally agree. They need to be a true threat with their ability to adapt in space restored, be given Feedback Pulse and to be able to chase Lvl 50+ players across sector space again. I love the Hur'q's 'xenomorph' style screams, and think they should be left to run riot though.
I third it. That poor horse is dead many times over by now
Fourth. And no one wants it to stop more than me.

That is such a non-argument. The entire point of this forum, and even the basic concept of communication itself, is that we are supposed to share our ideas, feedback, and criticisms. Nothing is protected from judgement, and anyone who shares their ideas should be comprehend the fact that other people will have differing opinions.
I agree that nobody should attack others for their opinions, but nobody here has been hostile.
Borg costume pieces should come with LTS as part of the playable Liberated Borg, and allow BOFFs to wear them as well. I don't care if my BOFFs are actual LibBorg, but I'd love to have them dress the part.
