Undetermined Release
General
- Skill revamp [1]

- George Takei (Hikaru Sulu)
- Brent Spiner (Data)

- Cardassian Struggle (highest priority [5])
- Fek'Ihri Return
- Breen Invasion
- New playable faction [3], e.g., Cardassian playable species [6]
- Return to Cardassian story would most likely be to launch a Cardassian faction with a story that players could experience for themselves [7]
- Fundamental revamp of “State of Q”, possibly copy-pasting Avery Brooks' voice for Benjamin Sisko from DS9: "Emissary" and, ideally, featuring John de Lancie as Q. To be re-introduced as stand-alone mission at some future point of time [1]
Foundry improvements
(Many major improvements to be ported over from Cryptic's game Neverwinter [8][2])

- Tripple HP/Shield buff on PvP maps to make prevent sudden death scenarios [5]

Ships
