If the Gateway were to be revived and offered as a Lifetime reward, I think that would be a big boon.
I also agree that a small stipend of Master Keys would be nice for LTS provided that the keys were bound to account. I can't imagine that it would have much effect on the overall economy, especially if the keys couldn't just be sold.
As someone who has really never had any interest in a LTS despite years playing the game, these are a couple of things that would get my attention.
As a recent LTS from the last sale, I was more miffed to find out forum titles weren't a thing anymore. But they're still listed as a reward. I spent like an hour trying to change it on here before figuring out they just didn't bother updating the reward page. I know it's just a vanity thing but they should be careful about not updating things, as it's now technically false advertising.
Considering these forums don't really support titles... pretty much a given that forum titles are non existant. We still get everything else like the in game titles.
The only thing I currently would like to see added to the lifetime sub rewards is maybe a Jem'Hadar shuttle (like the Feds get the Captain's Yacht), and a Jem'Hadar version of the Heavy Destroyer.
And some unique Costume Piece for Jem'Hadar (just like the klingons get the long jacket version of their uniform and unique shoulders)
Feds, KDF, AND even the Roms all get rewards. Why none added for Jems?
EDIT: Whoops, forgot those things are Veteran Rewards, not lifetime sub rewards! Silly me. But the Jems still need these things.
"Please, Captain, not in front of the Klingons." Spock to Kirk, as Kirk is about to hug him.

They are one and the same thing since LTS gives the full list if veteran rewards from the point you buy it instead of having to earn it over time, which is now only possible if you still have a sub running from before the point when that revenue stream got killed off.
Roms got the rewards eventually, not at the release of the faction. Currently all effort seems to be milking the disco deal they have with CBS to when the jem vet stuff arrives is anyones guess.
I would add that a stipend of keys would be nice, as we already know that NWN has proven it works. Give us the same plan, a key a day and a 500 Cstore stipend.
Peterconnorfirst hit the nail on the head though. Restart the Gateway as anapp with full DOff, Crafting and Fleet Donation windows (Including the ability to refine Dilithium or even access the dilithium market and buy Zen (and make Cryptic more $)) and you would have a HUGE draw for the Lifetime subscriber.
Access to an Unrestricted Tailor in the Aenigma Nebula would be a BIG boon to the RPers, and it would give a reason to go to the Nebula over other social zones. It would also give the Lifetimers something a lot of us have clamored for from the beginning of the game with more access to more costume options.

And it might inspire some people to actually buy keys.

We will be getting a vet destroyer though.
