Yeah, this is an extreme mix, but it's an example of the possibility of what one could do. As for keeping the feel: With such massive opportunities and varieties of scenarios possible, I think that characters themselves are really what keep the "feel" of the game the same. If Luke, Han, and the gang encountered the Borg the same way the Enterprise did (thanks to Q) and defeated them, their path to doing so would be radically different than the Enterprise crew.
