without the Ferengi being added as a fraction, there is no reason to add it, even though it would be welcome. look at the non-homeworld places.. Vulcan, not used nothing to do Andor, ditto, Bajor, Ditto. the only social hub that get used is DS9, and that because it's DS9, and Drozana because it's the only base that everyone can access in that region of the quadrant
It would indeed be fun... the hard thing would be getting players to use it as Hub...
Made making another event (like Summer and Winter) with facilities of ESD1 would help. Or as you said making Privateers(Profiteers 🤔 )there own faction the and using Ferenginar as their HUB.
But I don't think another big expansion unless the studio gets sold to the Grand Nagus Rom himself.
Side Note: Profiteers faction could include. Ferengi, Pakled, Orion, Nausicaan, Karemma, and Kzinti(being purchasable)
And a fair number ship assets are already in game just not usable for players.
Even if they aren't in the game as a faction doesn't mean they can't add the planet for missions and story purposes.

A new faction won't work because of not only the sheer amount of work to make another faction, but the fact that Privateers wouldn't fit into the story of STO. What would Privateers have to do with the Temporal War arc? What would Privateers have to do with the Mirror Universe Arc? What's stopping Privateers from noping out of the Iconian War rather than participating?
It just doesn't make sense from a storytelling perspective. Not only that they'd have to ally with Fed or KDF like the Romulans and Dominion anyways.
As for making Ferenginar a visitable location... the problem with that is location. The same problem Bajor has. Proximity to DS9, which has more amenities than Bajor. Ferenginar, and by extention Cardassia for those who wanted Cardassia in the past, would suffer because of proximity to DS9.
I would LOVE something to do with my GPL besides building the Great Wall of China AND the Great Pyramids of Giza, but as of right now that's probably back burner.
All opinions have a good truth to them. Seeing Ferenginar on Lower Decks just gave me this idea of it being the ideal planet to visit to "gamble" the latnium for items that could only come from there. The stock market memorial on the episode was hilarious.
It would be awesome if planets would get some love in some big update, given we are playing ST MMO which is about this universe, it would be amazing to have visitable planets of major races (And not necessary playable so far). A lot of planets are accessible only through missions, and I feel that is bit sad. Giving more attention to player enviroment would be great boon, because it wouldn't feel like that this part of game got stuck on same level for many years. Problem is, that making large area locations can be time consuming, but I believe time investment into players and universe would pay off in future for devs. Because if you have playground set, you can then use it again and again for more content, same as players can always visit it and create own stories there. Current locations after all these years are bit worn out.

Even then Orions would most likely be the ones in charge of the Profiteers faction like Humans and Starfleet or Klingons and the KDF.
hrm, an actual Ferengi story line would be pretty fun actually. I mean, yeah we have like one or two missions with Quark, but a full on multi arc story.

We also had the mission with Nog in the Iconian War, where he brings his father's Second Best Staff. And all of our run ins with Madran.

It is sad tho, they say no to a lot of good stuff. Even if they said no to a lot of things, it is important to voice out, what players want, because if players wont bring up again and again things they said they won't do, there will be indeed 0% chance. If reminded, there is slight chance they will give customers what they want and crave for.
They should have just removed all these unused maps instead of the Foundry back in 2019, if they wanted so bad to free up room...
Space wasn't the issue. The Devs have explained that the Foundry broke every update, and it was taking longer and longer and LONGER to fix it, taking time away from actually developing the game itself. They did everything they could to save it.

while the Devs have said no multiple times for a Borg faction, despite the demand, I personally think it would be cool, just assimilating people for fun with cubes, it'll finally a true evil faction at last until you get liberated, while the KDF started off as the evil faction, it progressively got into Diet Starfleet territory as the game went on.
