I'm talking crazy customize options for Holodecks. You likely wouldn't actually be rewarded with real in-game non-holodeck goodies but this part would just be about fun.
Supply a map editor and a scenario editor and let the userbase create content and BAM! You'll last forever.
You ever played games where user created content is a HUGE part of it? RTS games are a good example. I still sometimes play WCIII just to play customized games online with other people. You get such a diversity of games (besides DOTA...) and an INSANE amount of replay value. All these maps are made by the players. Some more detailed then others and some more fun then others but it keeps people coming back.
A simple to use by hard to master Holodeck player created maps and scenarios map maker should be offered! They'd likely be automatically downloaded and uploaded to eachother when you join a game and not come from the server (to reduce stress).
Imagine playing player created stories out. Playing in huge battles. Playing ridiculous games that you should NEVER play in the "real" game of ST:O and only in the Holodeck like... Idunno a ST:O version of Tower Defense? Dota? A Vampire Attack lol? Fight in Arena Matches? Take part in a simple game of cards or play as a Borg and try to assimilate other players? Capture the Flag? Destroy the Earth?
You could do almost anything. It's the Holodecks, the one place where you can stray completely away from the lore and do anything you want within the ST:O engine.
