Have one about a medical ship. Set one on a federation-made space station. Do a Section 31 one. Have one on post-war Cardassia where all the different races covertly struggle for influence (like early West Germany). Do one with the court system (maybe an ambitious prosecutor trying to bring down the New Sydney syndicates). Use the mini-series to flesh out and explore aspects of Federation life that haven't been seen before.
Or, more likely, have Rick Berman make his pet concept Star Trek: Intergalatic Pole Dancers XXX.*

*nodds* I thought up something similar to that as well, and I think it would be a good idea.
Along the same lines, I thought that rather than doing a 4-10 season real series, it might be better to do a single season limited series (or would that be a mini-series?). For a single season you follow around a character or group of characters in their lives (maybe while a war is going on), and you watch what happens. Because it is only one season you could kill off pretty much anyone at any time.
Also, you could do more than one such limited-series. You do 1 season with some characters, then have a different limited-series the next year with different characters. I suppose if you wanted you could have a cameo appearence or two from characters from previous seasons, but it wouldn't be necessary.
