Iam just posting ideas that come to my mind, i dont really expect them to be turned into a real feature.
more or less wishful thinking

I like the idea of a flagship. But only one flagship per race at a time. Once your vetran unit has earned enough experience to acheive this rank I think it should get a sytem value boost and a fervor bonus abilty..the fervor bonus could be stipulated by the avatar you are using....an area effect defensive bonus for mayson and an area effect offensive bonus for risner ect...maybe for the breen avatar flagship all ships within range could get sytem disabling weapons effects added to their aresenals.....

These are just a few of my thoughts on the matter.

This flagship idea is actually pretty good... I like it a lot. Any ship can be made a flagship but only one of them (per game? or at a time?) Once promoted from veteran to Flagship it no longer counts towards Veterancy. New skills for every ship? Seems like a ridiculous amount of extra work. But IMHO it'd be an awesome and distinctive feature. Instead of Unique ship by ship advantages for Flagship-ness, maybe racial or avatar based aura's that affect all nearby ships?

IE: Fed flagship whether Sabre or Descent gains an Aura of +15% shields and shield Regen to all nearby allied ships? It'd be easy to code too... An unbuttoned passive, constantly casting skill without an anim/graphic. Klings could get attack speed... Roms could get a field that give all cloaked ships 3 free shots before the cloak drops... Dom a straight up 15% shield ignore?

I think this could be a great idea, but a pain to do... Lets hope Doca likes the idea.

Flagship 'aura' ideas:
Federation - See HawkShark's post.
Klingon - Firerate increase.
Romulan - See HawkShark's post.
Dominion - Firepower increase.
Borg - Only here so this looks complete.

Original Miranda and Constitution class pls... I have seen some models and they look amazing. Plus Mirandas were still in heavy use during and after the dominion wars so it fits. Even as a replacement for the norway it's ugly as sin IMHO.

I like his ideas ... but how about borgish plundering? adding  a percantage of ressource back to the grid?

The TOS Constitution Class is already on the Todo list, in the 'Another future version' section.

A few things I'd like to see are (1) A third Avitar  for mixed tech.  So you could start out with mixed tech  ships. Example Worf  would  the mixed tech for  the Federation and Klingon races. Avitar bonus would  be  a slight upgrade in the fighting abilty of all ships. Offensive up grade for all offensive  points.  A alternate for the Fed/Klingon would be Belanna Torres. A upgrade of defensive  stats by 2 points  would be approiate for her Selecting  this avitar would give you enginering Upgrades  for all enginering /weaponds  systems. Odo could be  the Avitar for Dominion and Federation mixed tech . (2) Id'e like to see  the Oslo class from Startrek online as a  new ship  for the Federation.The design is based on the Norway class from the 2370s.The Oslo is constructed to allow it to exchange many components with its sister ships, the Akira and the Zephyr.
Class Specifications
Heavy Escort; Commissioned 2393
Dimensions:
Overall Length: 371 meters
Overall Draft: 54 meters
Overall Beam: 228 meters
Displacement: 625,000 metric tons
Velocity:
Cruising: Warp Factor 7
Maximum: Warp Factor 9.75
Offensive Systems:
Six Type XII Phaser Arrays
3 Fore and 1 Aft Torpedo Launchers
Defensive Systems:
Advanced Deflector Shield Generators
Rodinium-Alloy Hull Plating
Such a ship would be not too far out of Sync  with the  time frame  that FO takes place in .

I'd love to see the Nova class in the game somehow (either the original or it's Rhode Island refit). And even a third avatar in general would be awesome, but I think take a lot of work no?

think it would be cool if you could choose to fight in different eras , sort of like age of empires.

The Nova will be in the game: look under "tasks" 
Also, as far as I remember, third avatars will be in the game... eventually
