Well, there's exploration (which I feel very strongly about)... but I wouldn't expect to have to pay for that so I guess it wouldn't be a 'take my money' thing.
Ships I suppose. Cryptic has often (and rightly) pointed out that, as Star Trek fandom covers a fairly broad spectrum, you can't please everybody with ship designs. Fair enough; but they don't even try to appeal to the tastes of those of us that prefer the classic look. They just focus on those parts of the spectrum that like the Defiant, or the Prometheus, or the Ent-E; occasionally, they cater to Galaxy fans (but not that often).
But for those of us whose nostalgia trips tend to take us back to the Kirk era? Look at the designs in the contest they are running; only one has a round saucer, and it is pretty seriously deformed by the structure running over it and sticking out the front. And it's nacelles don't match. And... well, it's a carrier design (not something anyone really considered before DS9).
Hull materials that are smooth, clean, and don't add unnecessary detail. Classic hull shapes (circles and cylinders, joined together by uncomplicated structures). Basicly, ships that wouldn't have looked out of place parked next to Connies, Miandas, Excelsiors, Centaurs, heck even Ambassadors. I would happily shower Cryptic in money for these things.
- Cardassian T6 Keldon and a Hideki
- Cardassian playable character with unique traits (and maybe a small seperate story arc)
- T6 Galor class (although this should be free for owners of the lockbox version)

Yeah.
Heck, they even gave Feds a crack at Hakeev (albeit in an alternate timeline).

There's a lot of "Shut up and take my money" possibilities for me. The top two would definitely include an Obsidian Order version Intel/Hybrid cloaking Keldon. Why cloaking? There's the one episode of DS9 in which the Tal Shiar and Obsidian Order attempt a joint operation to annihilate the founders. The second and actually possible thing would be the original pre-dreadnought Jem'Hadar battleship being made available. Of course I would prefer Intel but Command would be much more likely.
When you see "TRIBBLE" in my posts, it's because I manually typed "TRIBBLE" and censored myself.
A way to use Foundry to allow me to create my own ship interior. The current interiors just can't do escorts justice in my opinion (not to mention that in small interiors the crew deck corridors are completely filled but NO ONE is even so much as entering the mess hall (would be nice to see a few tables filled too)).

Looking for something new to play? I've started building Foundry missions again in visual novel form!
New Orleans Class Frigate/Destroyer. Probably never going to happen, but I would actually buy zen if they released it. Not just convert zen from my large store of dilithium.
I would certainly buy a ship for my Ferasans. I also would like the orion barge, the ship that Hassan flies in the Nimbus mission for my Orion scum characters. It should have a bay for marauders, those things that can steal stuff and it should have an orion frigate, not as a pet, but as a complete raider, that you can use as a stand-alone ship. So two ships, instead of one. It should not have those big clowny cannons that almost all orion ships have, but inside a big room with female and male seducers.
Mine would be a t6 sleek fed type 1 bay carrier with a body / hull somewhere in the mix between a deep space science vessel and the xindi primate 1 bay carrier. 4 Fore, 3 aft weapons, at least a 10 turn rate. I love the single bay ships but all the fed ones are UGLY AS BALLS.
Star Trek Online 2 or if they majorly upgrade the current engine.
Only then will I spend money on cryptic again. With how dated the game now looks, there's no way I'm going to re-purchase T6 versions of all these ships I already bought
1. Playable Orion Raider small craft with the energy beam to steal contraband and EC from NPC's. 2. TOS Dreadnaught Class from the old school Field Manual. 3 Bozeman Skin for the Light Cruiser.

T6 Sovereign for me.
I was excited to have my own Sovereign in game, then I got the Regent and that was my main ship for a long time until the T6 Guardian came out.
1. T6 Luna w/ Intel seating and Lt. Cmdr Tac slot.
2. T6 New Orleans-class destroyer w/ canon and 2410 skins.
3. Ripped TOS uniforms - for that Kirk look (legit amazed this hasn't been done already)
4. T6 Romulan Sci/Tac Pilot Warbird
5. T6 Orion Eng/Sci FDC
T6 Odyssey-X or Typhoon 2.0; both with a built-in Phaser lance. Then a Guardian-X with a built-in exotic-damage lance.
The Odyssey-X would trade the double-neck for a sleek triangular neck with a phaser lance, and would also come with the Mirror Universe skin free.
The Typhoon 2.0 would look like a more compact Odyssey with double angled nacelles, a tac-centric focus, Intel Hybrid, and with its console, allow use of either a Wide-Angle blast or a focused multi-ship piercing lance WITHOUT ANY SEPARATION (similar to how the MVAM console lets you use one of 3 separation modes, but using one auto-forces a CD on the other; except in this case, using one lance form forces CD on the other). Also come with the Mirror skin free. On the grounds that both were based on the more aggressive Terran forces own warships.
Would also pay a fortune for a Jupiter 2.0 3-pack, where one is a Tac-Jupiter with a Phaser Barrage Console (like the Astika's Polaron Barrage) except it fires exclusively to the left and right sides as a massive broadside, an Eng-Jupiter that wields a massive Phaser BFG "siege-variant", that has a range of 20km and pierces multiple ships, and a Sci-Jupiter that has 3 hangars and can equip Defiant Frigate pets in all of them. All would be slow, but all would be extremely tanky as heck. And if you land that Siege cannon, will take off a ton of HP.
