I'd say lately that the Dyson ground battlezone is my favorite place in the game. I have been having so much fun in that place. Sometimes, I wish there were more people there, and then every now and then I think, wow, there are way too many people here.
How about the rest of you?

Dyson is one of my least favorites. Way too hard to navigate.

I agree. Bozeman map is awesome.

Arc has nothing to do with the game, that's Cryptic.
At one time, the DBZ was also my absolute favorite place in the game. Especially when it was newer and it was poppin' 24/7. In space, SB24 was my favorite spot. Especially when you could just roll in solo or with just another teammate. One of my RL friends pretty much gave up on the game after SB24 was removed sadly.
These days, I'd say that my favorite locations are DRSA/DRSE, Defera and Nimbus all in a tie for my favorite ground spot with the DBZ coming in close. In space, I'd say Cure Found Advanced is my favorite.
For space I like what I call the "Japori Run," which includes the space combat missions within RR space, Badlands, and most system patrol-like areas that are not frantically polluted with asteroids, nebulas, or space being some bright color for no reason (Starbase 39 Siera, Sherman System... Why is space green is these places?).
It seems lately with new missions and TFO's someone has decided that quality means layer upon layer of things and stuff that would likely make the inhabited world in the map uninhabitable.
On a side note, I hope that someday, we get Memory Alpha and the old Anniversary Edition of Utopia Planitia brought back to the game (at least as part of a mission).

I don't particularly care for any of the other big battlezones.
Thanks to your profile pic, I remembered how much I used to LOVE mine trap. I'd give away one of my character unlock ships to play this one again just once.
EDIT: Spelling
Gameplay-wise though...
For ground I'd have to say the Dyson warzone. Kobali comes pretty close, but Dyson seems to just have a more rewarding feeling to it. But Kobali is intentionally designed to feel like dirty trench warfare so that does make sense.
And for space, I don't think I have a fav spot. Space is all about my ship - either getting to my destination, or putting the ship itself through hell. Doesn't much matter to me where.
EDIT: forgot to add favourite mission. I'd have to say the new Disco ones, because the cutscenes are really good. The last two hero pics in my sig are from the Disco missions, and my god does my toon look like a badass.
Yaaaaaas! It's hard enough choosing four of my team, let alone the places that limit you to two, or even one. We need more places to take a full away team that aren't mission-based.
Yes! I loved Mine Trap as well. Just another example of the good stuff being taken away, I guess.
Hub-wise: Deep Space 9. It's faithful to the show, has many beloved canon characters, and the bank and exchange are literally just a few steps away from the shipyard commodities. Also, it's an insignificant detail but you can climb the stairs OR bypass them with a prompt and choices like that are always welcome. Only annoying thing is the ONE SINGLE soundtrack lopping again and again and AGAIN...
Zone-wise: Dyson ground battlezone. It has a nice blend of advanced-yet-old tech and when you don't get pounced on by enemies, it offers a nice relaxing yet strangely slightly oppressing atmosphere, especially as you uncover its story before it's abandoned.
Yup. The Fleet Mine looks sooooo much better than the public mine.
I'd dig up "Diggy Diggy Hole" but I don't have any short characters.

You know what I think about traps in your Fleet's mine. Hidey-hole cave my TRIBBLE!

Lately though for a place to just hang out while doing tfos or talking in fleet? DS9. Really great revamp, chill at Quark's a lot
Kobali os another favourite but it’s woefully underused by players. Can have a decent long run fight all the way up the mountain there and it looks pretty amazing. Decent challenge too and fun with a team.
This!! I find Dyson a nightmare to navigate. Up in the sphere, I find it very hard to find my way around, the buildings all look very similar, and there are a lot of objects. I fly by minimap and pointer, and the prompts on-screen in the white brackets. I'm still in the Dyson Sphere quite often, as it's a pretty map with great pick-up missions and DOFF tasks, and there usually are people in the battlezone. Down on the ground, the map is even prettier, and it's even more of a nightmare to find my way around. Ever so often, I bump into invisible walls between parts of the map.
Favourite spots:
Mol'Rihan/New Romulus. I like collecting rocks - feels like exploring a new world. And the map is just beautiful!
Deep Space Nine and Drozana station tie for second place. I'm often at the jumja stand, or looking at the wormhole. But for me, nothing beats Drozana if I'm looking for a shady space den to make shady deals with the bartender. Selling Romulan Ale and weapons at the bar in ESD doesn't feel right.
Favourite zones: Defera Borg Invasion Zone and Gon'Cra. Now if there was a space battle zone with Borg and Dyson-like pick-up missions...
I have a map, I have a big screen, I have everything except a fully functional inner ear. My eyes do not talk to that part of the brain that tells me where left/right/up/down is, see?
