I would much rather have the factions complete.
I was rather dismayed when I read news that they may be adding "mini-factions" through the c-store, that you would unlock but continue with them under the Federation or the KDF.

I don't care what other species ships are playable on federation side. I want Starfleets ships to be more equal, not some ugly Galor or Jem Haddar bug ships.
Since most of STO players are doing PvE stuff anyways i think it would be best if all tier 5 and above ships would get an universal Lt. Cmdr and at least one universal console slot.
(Especially since the devs made clear that they don't care about balance in PvP anyways. Or why should they make tier 4 and lower special consoles universal?)
Let's face it, PvP is a dying game mode in STO, so why care for some obscure balance anyways?
The devs should give every player the chance to fly the ship he likes the way he wants IMHO.
Every ships would me much more flexible when it comes to BO layouts and consoles but still maintaining its characteristic.

You could easily increase the gameplay of the Federation by having a mini-faction of some of the memeber races added to the mix.
Like Vulcans defense force vessels, Andorian Defense force vessels and etc to liven up the ship choices.
The KDF is prettly well filled up with its memebr races and vessels now and only needs a few Orion and Gorn escorts to even the field in my opinion.
The Romulans are wide open and could include the Romulans, The remans and the Hirogen as its main members, along with the vessels of each.
Cardasians could be a mini-faction bad guy faction with the return of the Jem'hadar.

I was talking about Arena and Capture and Hold PvP stuff, i should have made this more clear, sorry.
Althrough many players (including me) are "enjoying" this map (Ker'rat), the devs haven't updated this map much since i have started playing STO 2 years ago.
I think open war maps like Kerrat are the way to go.
People aren't that organized there like in a Arena or C&H map.
You can go in, stay a while and go if you don't like it, which is much more free than going to a Arena map with a given team.
So everyone is doing more or less his own stuff, althrough there are some teams there too.
To survive there one cannot always rely on a team that can heal you. In my opinion ship balancing needs to be different than originally planned, since teamplay is much more casual on such a map.
My point was that ships should be more flexible and bit more equalized.
Not much an escort should stay an escort, a cruiser a cruiser and a science vessel a science vessel, but i think that ships should be much more self sufficient.
(Which would also be more like in the shows)
In my opinion ships as they are now are too extreme, like some can do too much damage, and others can just survive long but can't do not much else. I would like to see some ships (Federation AND KDF) that are more in between.
Giving all Tier 5 and above ships a Lt. Cmdr universal and a universal console would make ships much more flexible and much more fun to fly IMHO.
I like the idea of mini factions in STO, it would open a whole new dimension of content, like Ferengi marauders and a Starbase, a independent small Borg collective, some Alien of the week planets and some ships, or the devs could make up a minor faction on their own, where they can put in stuff they seem to like so much (like mass effect like Armors, Escort ships and so on
).
The C-Store could make tons of money with a good mini faction (if executed well).
Additionally the devs could have much more freedom in designing alien stuff like ships and species.
I think it would be a win- win situation.
Live long and prosper.
