I'm going to go ahead and post something I'd like to see as a C-Store service purchase (don't want to create a whole thread for C-Store requests since it would just get flooded with ships, lol).
Anyway, I'd like to see a purchasable token that can be purchased a total of four times, with each purchase decreasing the time it takes a rep project to complete. This would be a per-character service, with each tier decreasing the time by 30%/60%/90%/100%, and would exclude the two most recently released reputations. Price would be up to Cryptic/PWE, but I think 500 zen per tier would be a good number.
What this would do is give us a way to pay to accelerate old reputations, while still requiring us to actually complete them since all it removes is the timegate. Thoughts?

I would like all Consoles/Space Weapons in the Store to be made Very or Ultra Rare. They updated all the ground weapons to VR in the past and the newest set is VR instead of Rare. For the price that they are listed at, you should be able to get something better than Rare.

I knew they were around 50 but as I was not in game did not want to assume low, so went higher. Net effect, pretty darn cheap. Last year they had risen up over the then cap of 500, when we started getting the Krenim and Temporal Dreadnought ships.

Aside from the account unlock token people have mentioned....
Weapons. From canon.
I'd take Picard's Tommy Gun, to the Mek'leth, to Tolian Soran's gun, to Worf's BFG from Insurrection, to the First Contact phaser rifle, to the CRM-160 Breen rifle that isn't a freeze gun...
I was going to say "lower prices" but I'd agree more to stuff that unlocks stuff for whole accounts. Right now I rethink ten times before buying (or collect lobi to buy) something there and in the rare cases when I do it it because I need EC and lobi stuff usually sells well on the exchange.
You realize if you're buying lobi stuff to sell on the exchange lower prices won't help you AT ALL, right? Sure, you'll get it more easily, but everyone else will too and the price will plummet proportionally and you're back to square one.
I originally proposed it as a dilithium sink, but being able to buy rare ship traits that I have on one captain (e.g. Time to Kill from the one and only Annorax I'll ever own...) for the rest of my pool of captains would be very welcome using any currency, including lobi.
Or, an item for 50 Lobi that makes any lockbox, promo or lobi item account unlocked..
50 lobi is a bit cheap, I don't think they'd let anything like that go for less than 225-450 lobi
While you're at it, why not ask for fleet ships to be account unlocks?
Those are, imho, a completely different situation, I really don't see fleet ships needing account unlock. But a 1-use token to account unlock a single lockbox/lobi ship for 1/4 - 1-2 the price of a lobi ship would be reasonable I think ... biggest issue might be getting CBS approval though since most of these ships are alien.

If not account unlocks. The ability to buy lock box ships you already have. But bind on pickup?
So if one if my Characters has the Wells. Another can buy it for lobi.

I'd be happy enough with glasses. Not the sunglasses or Visors or Dominion headpieces we already have, I mean good old fashion regular corrective lenses.
If they are charging 400 Lobi to get a Trait like the one from the Kelvin Dreadnought, how can you possibly think they would sell an Account Unlock for the Lobi Ships for a price like you are suggesting.
Again with the CBS being the boogeyman. They are a convenient scapegoat for keeping things in the more profitable Single Character Unlock realm.

The Nagus Marauder will be the T6 D'Kora replacement when they incorporate the Ferengi Lockbox into the Infinity Lockbox. Probably won't have the Gold Plated Latium finish.

1200 lobi for a holo-emitter printer/scanner that allows you to create a standard unbound consumable holo-emitter of any ship you own, requiring 1 week to produce and a 3 week cooldown until you can make another.
They could make a lot of profits with that, but I doubt CBS would let them get away with it.

A worthy sacrifice
Its not that I intentionally see the lobi stuff as stable source of EC income. Rarely but every now and then I feel the urge to get something fancy for lots of EC and then thats just part of the process. The stuff I keept I could probably count on one hand and the most expensive of that would be a 200l outfit.
If the outfits where account unlocks I would actively try to get them all instead of mostly avoiding unless one totally fits a characters concept.

The removal of ships from the T5 rewardpack has caused severe oversupply for the remaining ships.

Boxit really changed everything.

So yeah, account unlockers.
And lower prices
