I love your thoughts here (and I did like those imaginary crews you did before on Tumblr, too), but the main thing that struck me was this:
love love LOVE TNG but sometimes it did feel a little like they were boldly running little errands for the admiralty.
I never really watched Star Trek, but at uni, I had a friend I used to watch videos with (we'd rent the player for the night!) and the price of me getting to watch DW was having to watch Star Trek with her. I used to mildly enjoy it, but I was shocked and put out at this popping back to Federation HQ for tea business. It put me off the whole thing. Plus, I was suspicious of the Federation (they sounded suspiciously like a dodgy dystopia in disguise - I was obviously always due to be a B7 fan and not really a Trekkie) so I never managed to get into Star Trek or understand it, till Voyager sneaked in there with Janeway and the whole lost far away in the Delta Quadrant thing. But I never heard anyone else ever saying anything like that till now.
Anyway, they should put you in charge. I'd watch it. :-)
