Things I Would Like To See Added

I know STO is an old game which means "limited resources are sunk into its deveolpment," but here are some things I would like to see added.
  1. New and Updating Old Reputations:
    • Gorn Conspiracy: Following the Klingon Civil War, The Gorns question their loyalty to the Empire.
      • Minor Tweeks to Nimbus III open and closed missions
      • Make the reputation gear part of the R&D system where you have to unlock the fabrication via reputation leveling and specific material so marks can be constanly used besides buying ore.
    • Ferenginar Black Market
      • Make a reputation where you can buy the best (and worse) the Free Market has to offer.
      • Make the reputation gear part of the R&D system where you have to unlock the fabrication via reputation leveling and specific material legal on Ferenginar.
    • Update Warzones
      • Update the Otha and Qay’ghun Warzones to drop marks of choice - or something like a new repution and story like of The Rise of the Beta Quadrant Collective where one or both war zones become the ground battle zones.
  2. T5X+ or T5X MK II
    • A specialization seating upgrade. Granted, the seating would have to be limited to the type of ship, e.g., Pilot and Intelligence Officer for Raiders.
  3. Better BOFF Species Traits
    • Upgrade system where you can change a BOFF trait
    • A better pool of BOFF. Every species is almost a C&P trait drop. Why isn't there an algorythm where a Klingon may have a space trait? I get that certain species have certain skills, but to limit Klingon, Gorn, Andorian to ground and some Romulan, Human always have a space trait. Heck, I've gotten a ground only Lethean a few times.
    • BOFF species specific manuals based on species traits
      • Tactical: Gorn Parallelizing Bite (same as bite but includes a 2 second hold)
      • Science: Liberated Borg Nanite Hold (a weaker version of the assimilate attack used by Borg)
      • Engineering: Old School Warp Core (A long forgotten subroutine back door security hack that shuts down the core/power for 3 seconds. Found by K-13 engineers but never reported, well, cause, ya know - the disappearing in time thing)

    A couple of these I actually agree with, others would never work or are totally unnecessary.

    If they're going to add reputations there needs to be a valid story reason for it. I don't see that happening at the moment to justify a gorn rep. Could they make one along those story lines, sure. However I don't see that being the route they take. As fot tweaks to nimbus iii, define tweaks.

    Having the items tied to R&D I don't see happening because we can just buy them with dilithium from the store. I would love to see them revamp the R&D system, but I don't see this being the way to go with reputations. I do however agree we should be able to spend our marks and such on ore anytime we want. Was one of the changes I felt was totally unnecessary.

    Would depend on what's in the rep yet again. for the R&D bits see above.

    As for warzone updates I agree they need some touch ups. As for sticking every mark in that zone, there would be no need to do any of the others at that point.

    Won't happen as it would defeat the purpose of buying a t6 ship and this part falls in line with the "alternative to t6" part of the FCT list. Just buy the t6 if you want the specialist seating, and t5 if you want something from that ship or to use its costume parts

    definitely hear you there on some boffs being such a carbon copy/paste job. would love to see a wider pool for it to pick from.

    We need uniforms still wondering why the Romulan Nemesis/ENT uniforms aren't in game, since we have Reman Nemesis uniforms, I gotten pretty close to replicating the Nemesis uniforms, https://www.reddit.com/r/stocostumes/comments/oz688t/romulan_nemesis_uniforms/
