Hi,
I am a long time life member of STO and belong to a fleet that began in beta. That said, there are some issues that I would like to address.
1. The loot tables need to scale with the player. I cannot tell you how many times I have opened loot only to find a small hypo or green vendor food. At endgame, it would be nice if the game reflected that status in the loot table.
2. Lighting. While you have made great strides in correcting lighting issues, some remain. For the love of my retinas, please fix them.
3. Expansions. One mission with Leeta and Operation Wolf (nice homage by the way) does not an expansion make. We used to have access to the foundry and could fill in the holes. We don't have that anymore. So now, you need to do that for us. Keeping content fresh keeps us interested and active.
4. How about we explore the Romulans a bit more? Or the Klingons? True, you did do that with J'ula and the civil war, but KDF has been ignored for a very long time. Although I have to give you kudos for the revamped artwork and stories that you have done so far. Great job, but it would be nice if we had some more. I know, I know, you can't please everyone. But it sure would be nice to see a little more.
5. Please give us back the maps where we can do our own thing! My fleet used to hold war games, tournaments, and the like. As you have pulled back on the private maps, all of that has pretty much disappeared. It is vital to keep your fleet members involved if you want to maintain an active fleet. I know that you tried the armada system and it failed. I submit that it failed because you couldn't do anything with it. Leadership can only do so much, after all, and a little help in maintaining what you have would be much appreciated.
6. Let us decorate our Captain's cabins, give us planet side apartments/homes to decorate and display trophies. People like that sort of stuff. Have more trophies than places to display them? Sell us additional spaces. I wouldn't mind giving you a few bucks for the privilege. I pay for additional bank space and other things, why wouldn't I pay for that? Try it out, I think that you will appreciate the profits.
7. Expand the Delta and Gamma quadrants. More to do, more to explore, more story to chew on. All good things in my book.
8. Tribbles. Nice to have, nice to pet, but not so nice on your fleet starbase. PLEASE give us the option to either turn them off of make them gone for a couple of hours or so. For years we avoided having them on our starbase and then an errant member started the project and POOF! Elysium was gone. It would be nice to have Elysium back.
9. Thank you so very much for keeping stories in the "Available" tab. I cannot tell you how very much that is appreciated. I'd like to see those stories reintegrated into the current quests line, but for the love of all that's holy, please NEVER lose them.
10. Give us intrigue. Something dark, dangerous, and deadly. Weave it all throughout the Federation, Klingons, Romulans and every quadrant. Keep us on our toes and guessing what will happen next. Make the arc run over the course of a few years. Bring Section 31 back and their counterparts in the KDF and Romulan Republic. Spread it over time and weave it in and out of history and the far future. Touch every series in Star Trek and in the end, tie them all together. Play it right, and it will be a gold mine.
That's all I have for now, but I am grateful for all of your hard work and dedication to the Star Trek universe. I have been a fan of the franchise since the 1960s and it is good to know that you take it as seriously as I do, thank you for that.

2. On lighting, can you elaborate what instances your retinas are being fried? Saying that is happening is not helpful when you do not specify what missions, maps, etc. this is happening in.
3. The one with Mirror Leeta is not completed yet but it is actually an expansion over time according to STO Wiki.
4. Maybe in the future the Romulans will be further expanded. The Klingons at this time have been expanded.
5. What maps were taken away from you and your fleet?
6. That is a FCT 2.0 (Frequently Created Thread) topic. Read that for more details.
7. I am not sure if the engine can handle more expansion of the Delta and Gamma Quadrants. Still would be great to have that as well though since it would be more content.
8. Tribbles, not sure how Elysium Tribble would go bye-bye.
9. I am also glad that certain episodes are in the Available tab. Wish it had a better name like Side Missions or Side Episodes. That tab could be better organized.
10. I think we need a break from a big, evil villain we have had it a lot these past seasons. Something new, more on the Alliance and the problems in it would be great to tackle. Then after that, focusing on this idea.
Again, these are my two cents. People are free to agree or disagree. Thanks.
Re: 2. Try playing Power sources on Mol Rihan and you will see what I mean.
Re: 8. Not tripping over them all over the place would be nice. We used to hold meetings on the main deck. We no longer do that because of the tribbles. Can you turn them off? Yes, but running up there and doing so is a pain. Hence the request.
They are aware of the bug involving Lighting 2.0 for Power Source on Mol Rihan or New Romulus. I was inquiring if you were pointing to an area or areas I was not aware of. The current workaround is to turn off Lighting 2.0 and turn off the Bloom. Several missions and locations have been affected by it.
As for the Tribble thing, did not know it was a thing until you posted about it. Would sound like a great quality of life update to this game for that fleet holding.
Reason I believe it can be a T6 or a free skin for the Miranda-Class is it has no noticeable traits in show, it is compared a low-level and often forgotten ship, significantly weaker ship, the Miranda-Class description also fits into describing the Cerritos as "From humble beginnings as a workhorse of the Federation, this dependable class has made a name for itself across history, even if it was less-than-flattering" this ship was destroyed.. TWICE and knowing in Lower Decks, it keeps getting destroyed with Solvang, Rubidoux & Merced. Out of as many Hero-ships how many Galaxy-Class / Luna-Class / Defiant-Class / Intrepid-Class was destroyed like the Miranda & California-Classes? It again proves that this ship is nothing special since we see 3 different versions of the same class blown up. This is supposed to be 2409 (if you make a New TNG Character) and running around in a 200 year old ship (2200's to the 2400's) it seems a little reality breaking, Discovery and Picard even used shuttles that looked 2255 which some people noticed "why are they still using old technology like that" -in defense they are probably so mass produced they are used as cheap taxi's and lost the ability to perform in space so they are recycled on earth.
This is another thing, Their is a Legendary Miranda in the ZEN store, the TOS era Miranda, but not a T6 version of the normal Miranda like other ships. People who (I am including myself) would by the new Legendary Miranda to fly the California Class or maybe others want to just buy a T6 normal Miranda-Class and get the California-Class because it offers new and unique parts to customize the starter ship with those new parts to create a wonderful and beautiful ship
