When Russell T Davies brought Doctor Who back he wanted to do a cross over with Star Trek, what would it take to legally get the approval and do something like that in STO?
Worth considering?

Personally I prefer my Star Trek, Star Trek. But I would certainly play a one-off Dalek battle. Besides we already have Kal Dano and he is the doctor of STO…
By the end of the book/novel, their threat had been ended, BUT the Cybermen had been marooned on a undisclosed planet in the Star Trek universe, which resulted in many, many centuries later, evolving into the... Borg!
Peace...
While Dr. Who did have a crossover event with another game, I think it was EVE, it would probably be harder to get anything more than comic book crossovers right now with Star Trek. Not even sure if they could do a show crossover right now.
While Doctor Who is interesting at times i feel it is also scientifically as absurd as Star Wars.
I would prefer to keep them separate.
It would be just like how its relatively easy to do crossovers with Stargate. If the other side of the crossover doesn't take place on Earth, you got at least 2 GALAXIES worth of worlds to drop them into.

The NuTrek writers already turned every ship into a tardis and the watchers into knockoff time lords...don't need a crossover because they've basically already plagiarized Dr Who

Inspiration does not equal plagiarism. The Watchers are a concept that has been around pre-Doctor Who.
as for ships having interiors that don't align with the exteriors thats nothing new eaither, Trek V has a particularly silly moment there as well
Oh yea... the turbolift shaft that has over 100 decks, in ASCENDING order, on a Connie that was in no way that tall.
To be fair Star Wars is more of a Fantasy than a Sci-Fi, it has more in common with HP and LOTR than a Sci-Fi series like Star Trek or Stargate.
Peace...
Unfortunately, NuTrek is not soft sci-fi like the various traditional Trek series but rather a space opera like the movies were. Even the traditional era movies were more space opera than soft sci-fi, then Abrams ratcheted that up over the top in 2009. Since the CBS Trek tried to coattail the (then still popular) Kelvin movie style they too are all space opera with occasional crossings into science fantasy. NuTrek is closer to Star Wars in a lot of ways than it is to traditional Star Trek.
The Jodie Whittaker stuff is a bit nostalgic from my point of view since they went back to the really early "big group" format instead of just the Doctor and one (or occasionally two) Companion(s) that has been favored for most of the rest of the Dr. Who run. I have not seen anything beyond her first season because the cable channel stopped showing Dr. Who for a while and by the time the next season came out my set top box was dead and I never bothered to get another.
That first season (no idea about the rest of course) tried to get away from the formula that the Dr. Who series had fallen into and there are too few episodes nowadays for the writers to get used to major changes like that and find their new footing in a single season.
The problems that a lot of people complain about were not really with Whittaker herself or the fact that she is a woman despite laying the blame there, but rather with that change of formula back to the very early one in which the Doctor was slightly less forward than later Doctors and the group had a bigger role than the typical Companion later on (there were a number of episodes where the Doctor spent most of the time in the TARDS repairing it and the group carried the bulk of the plot for instance). Whittaker's Doctor fits well within the parameters established by all the other Doctors (especially the very early ones), she is just balanced differently from the more recent trend of her predecessors.
Pilot escort size/agility, commander science and temporal operative seating, probably no weapon slots but it'd have innate disguise/cloaking, and a galaxy sized interior.
Not to mention having the highest Hull & Shield rating in the game by far. After all, in all the years I have seen the TARDIS in action, it has rarely ever taken any direct damage. Ohhh, and one more thing to add too... when you go into a starbase, "beam" down to a planet, or some such thing, wouldn't it be great if the TARDIS actually zoned on/in there instead, and you the character walked out of it as in the show?
Peace...
Who "plagiarized" the concept again?
Why killing The Doctor? If anything I feel like they'd get along just fine since The Doctor seems to be all about NOT changing the timeline. Hell... he knows better than anyone the consquences of messing with time.
Well, we already have our "Doctor" in Kal Dano during the Temporal Arc, so not much sense in having another. 🤷🏼♀️

Also Daniels is a part of Starfleet, they don't kill, I'll get it if Terran Daniels or his Klingon or Romulan counterparts tried to kill off the Doctor but Prime Daniels would never kill, like in order for Pirme Daniels to kill, it would require same type of character assassination that the Last Jedi did to Luke f*cking Skywalker.
