1) A grown version of the Seh'lat which can be sent in to combat.
2) A briefing room on the Fleet Starbase. Can be a room off of the OPs Deck, possibly under the semi-circular platform.
3) A shuttlebay on the Fleet Starbase. A deck in it self.
4) A Club of the Fleet Starbase. Can be a room off of the OPs deck. a ramp leading down to a room under the bar, or a set of stairs up on the bar level that leads down to the club. Make the bar area a dinning hall and lounge and move the bar down into the Club.
5) Put the Federation emblem on that large glowing disk in the center of the OPs deck.

1: If they do it it will probably be a Lobi pet with temporary charges like the Mugato.
2-4: This things will probably be upcoming Special Projects - as the Special Projects are all aesthetics.

Custom Fleet logo's as well on the exterior. Should be a major project[s].

Defcon1776: To put that quote in the right place.

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." Jean-Luc Picard

Picard didn't originate that line, it was a quote from supreme court judge - Judge Aaron Satie as wisdom and warning to suppressing the 2nd Amendment of the United States Constitution. Please get your facts straight before quoting a line.

Just like to point out the flaw of that quote -

One link is merely a ring - it takes two links minimum to make a chain....

Thus if he had said -

"With the second link, the chain is forged...."

I would not need to post this.

I stand corrected. Thanks for clarifying. I do believe this referenced the 1st Amendment and the right to free thought and expression. The 2nd Amendment is the right to bear arms.

Edit: Point of Reference: The quote was in my signature.

You are absolutely correct. It is the 1st Amendment. Picard hasn't said anything original.
I still think Kirk was a better captain than Picard was. If you meet these two Picard would bore you to death with a long speech while Kirk would blew you apart.
