😃  
Quite frankly, I can’t come up with one. Any time I start thinking about specifics, I realise that changing one certain nonplot element can set it in a different genre.

Dopers?

You know, I think this would be a good question to pose to everyone here in **Cafe Society**. Shall I start a new thread?

Back to the OP, and some of the responses it generated, I think a DS9 movie would be ideal. I think a strong concept could be the return of Benjamin Sisko… lots of opportunities for the massive fleet battles we saw in the series that way.
