One is a Dominion outpost miniature. These look like Drexler photos.

...TOS, TNG, DS9 and VOYAGER are the bricks.
Games might be a good starting point for new audiences, those seem to hold more weight.
I think a Dominion War Game, similar to an old, old one might work like Across the Unknown is going to.
It's why I won't accept the latter two shows weren't...
The Borg Queen's was a distributed computer program stretched across the entire collective.
Something like that doesn't die quickly, it lingers cannibalizing itself for years trying to survive until there's nothing left. Which is exactly what we saw happen.
As to the Borg showing up again...
...that much less deadly if it didn't kill her off, too, but just left her a zombified husk of her former self for the next 23 years. The Dominion and Changelings were welcome, but the Borg....again??
I get it, they're Picard's ultimate foe and trauma, but enough is enough. The Collective was...
Kirk stole the Enterprise, got it destroyed and ended up getting command of the next Enterprise. Worf killed Duras. Starfleet tends to be more open about giving people second chances.
"Martialed." Please.
She felt unsupported and was making unsubstantiated claims around a conspiracy. She was going to be discharged.
After dealing with conspiracies and the Dominion War a less than satisfactory discharge makes sense.
...the Ocampa presented to the caretaker.
So the Q contained them.
Section 31 and the Department of Temporal Affairs mingled to study this.
The Dominion War wasn't supposed to happen in the original timeline?
Why? Why did it happen?
The Wormhole was discovered?
Who caused that, another group of...
...was presumably a holdover or active from the assorted border skirmishes just prior to TNG. We didn't hear such terminology again until the Dominion War.
2. Operationally, we don't really know what any of it means. We've seen ships with funny doodads sticking off but, for the most part...
...both high risk of dangerous side effects, and a trend toward amorality (remember when the Jack Pack tried to betray the Federation to the Dominion because they calculated it was for the greater long-term good), of being 'above' the morals of ordinary men. I see DS9 as very much reinforcing...
...behind as badly). But, yes, it raises big and fair points that was daring in its own right and that has to be acknowledged, as the Borg and Dominion were threats and challenging the idea that the Federation was Shinyhappypeopleland was long overdue for genuine dramatic themes. Again, that...

I like your initial thoughts. I think this is gonna be a good thread.
I've had some thoughts along similar lines before. There should be a dedicated military wing to Starfleet, a proper Federation Navy as it were, and a dedicated exploration wing. Some of the existing ship designs circa the TNG...
...watch the show and think, "hmm, they don't really seem to have a fleet capable of handily defeating emerging threats such as the Borg or the Dominion. I don't think I'd feel safe living in the Federation. The Starfleet is not adequate to protect me."
It brings up also the question of...
...to that cube. But with Picard's knowledge it easily knew what Hanson's tactics would be and what every starship's weakness was. The Dominion was overwhelming not just Starfleet, but also the Klingons and Romulans. So that might not be just a Starfleet issue.
Starfleet uses cruisers...
...approach of being friendly largely worked. Sisko's engagement with the prophets helped alleviate the problems they were facing in the Dominion War.
However, there is considerable evidence against this view. Starfleet could easily have lost the Dominion War, were it not for the singular...
...and built in a sensible manner?
The gist of the video is that Starfleet is not organized sensibly, and would not have defeated the Dominion in a stand-up fight.
Why?
-Starfleet is a cruiser force. Almost all ships are cruisers. There are few battleship and few escorts. In combat, some...
...whet the appetite for what it would really do later on, especially adding to and moving the lore forward with both the new big bad of the Dominion, as well as doing something with the Klingons.
Lastly, as far as wagon train adventures goes,
isn't a shame there was no DS9 game made for the...
