You can create a new category that can be called: IDEAS
In this category, anyone who wants to can post their ideas to improve the game or add something new.
How about this idea?

They already have a Feedback section, with sub sections for different areas of the game. Problem is most don't check it out or post there.

And most people just post their ideas here in General Discussion to get the most views anyway. No, we're not adding another subforum.

It never hurts to offer suggestions as long as it's done politely. You can use the feedback subforum if you just want to post the idea without comments, or post here if you want to see what other people think about it.

If posting here it usually works better to post one idea in a topic and give it a good title ("I want playable targ race, woof!" not something vague like "here's my suggestion!"), and not a list of 20 suggestions since that's difficult to discuss in one topic.

Also, before creating the topic check the "Frequently Created Threads" sticky thread to see questions and ideas that the developers have already given an answer to (usually "no, because...") - https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1245086/the-f-c-t-frequently-created-threads-list-2-0#latest

Example: Yes, many of us want a visual slot for customizing our beam weapon look. No, it's not going to happen

As others have said, it already exists.

And as others have said, a suggestion isn't a command, there's never a promise that if you make a suggestion Cryptic or DECA will act on the suggestion. There's a plenty of reasons why the Devs will not do something and hating you or being mean is very, very down on that list (so far actually that it isn't on the list for all intents and purposes) so if your suggestion isn't announced or the devs say "no we won't be doing that" there typically a good reason, like that it would remove a major source of revenue.

The truth is, the devs are constantly busy chasing after this game's bugs (due to just how old and complicated the spaghetti code is, it's like trying to untangle a pile of knots) when they're not pushing out new content in the form of events, lockbox ships, promotions, and the occasional new episode, TFO or patrol (this latest event saw two new patrols AND a TFO). I just hope the Vovin's missing ship mechanic is restored shortly. It's been gone for over six weeks now.
