Things I wish to see added to the game - make it more realistic

I think the game should be more realistic. One great way of doing this is by making sure it and the things we do in it have more implications for the player's real life outside the game and eventually merging the two perhaps. These are just some ideas:
1. An option to turn EC into real money.
2. An option to buy a real shuttle (for 750 Zen, I understand it should be more expensive than a game-bound one).
3. A way to enter and live in the game à la Surrogates (the 2009 movie).

5. Allow us to import our ships into Star Trek Armada 2: Fleet Operations, and vice versa. Besides the lolz of watching a fleet of Phalanx-class warships blast away elite STFs with what amounts to rapid-firing phaser lances, I'd like to see just how powerful my main's Galaxy X would be in Fleet Ops. Granted, I likely wouldn't need much of a fleet, but still. Oh, and we'd basically end up with enough ships for true and playable Romulan, Dominion, and Borg factions, so there's an added bonus.
6. Speaking of which, expand number 5 to include classic STA2 as well. I want to fly a Tactical Fusion Cube.
7. The Galaxy and Odyssey class saucer/chevron separation powers should, similar to the MVAM and DVAM, allow you to pilot the saucer section instead. The code should exist, it'd just be a matter of reworking a few things and some copy and paste.
8. Personal taskforces. Basically, away teams in space, consisting of our boffs captaining our other ships and/or our other characters in their ships. Have each ship included count as a player for the purpose of scaling enemy squadrons, but don't include a cap to the number of ships brought along. Let me bring an armada of 100+ warships (equivalent to 100+ players) and see what happens.
9. More player ships. Come on, we've broken the Enterprise J barrier. Let me fly Earth Spacedock!
10. Hyper-realistic time travel. If I want to take my timeship back in time and rewrite STO's storyline, I should be able to. Granted, other players might try to stop me from removing their precious Romulan Republic faction, but that's their problem when they come up against my timeship of death.
11. Make future ships actually be stronger. The Wells should be freely upgrade-able to T47FUR (Tier 47 Fleet Upgraded Retrofit).
12. Get rid of lockboxes, add their prizes to Phoenix packs. Master keys are now used to grant a one-time access to any given social zone involving any Ferengi, including Earth Spacedock; hope you brought a key to actually complete the tutorial.
13. Allow Klingon characters to kill Ferengi, including NPCs, without any consequences.
14. The uniforms worn in Galaxy Quest. Just saying.
15. In fact, since we already made the game smart enough to rewrite it's own storyline and theoretically add new content, you might as well retire the devs into 5-star (out of 5) vacations (cuz they deserve it) and let the game update itself with new content every so often. We'll see whether or not the Federation has a 26th century equivalent to the Galaxy X in all due time.
16. Add more bugs. Star Trek was always full of anomalies, and I'd like to think bugs count as anomalies. Hasn't anyone thought of this by now? Not to be confused with the broken code that players constantly complain about, I'm taking Jem'Hadar Attack Ships here.
17. Make it so the starships that default to the Galaxy or Nebula skin come with a free Galaxy-style Captain's Yacht. Does not apply to the Andromeda or Venture, just whatever ships default to the Galaxy skin. The Galaxy X's version would also come with a mini-phaser lance, since part of the lance would get detached with the yacht in question.
18. Let us kill other players in social maps. That troll? Murdered by TR-116B.
19. Disable chat for players that are currently dead, to make point 18 worthwhile.
20. Add permanent deaths; if your character dies, you play as your first officer instead. If your ship is destroyed, your crew (captain not included) survives, but only if you used the non-existent "Abandon Ship" power first and ensured that you were a safe distance from the escape pods before exploding; and even then, you have to wait until somebody rescues your crew.
21. Remember point 7? Add that for the Odyssey Aquarius and Bortasqu' BoP. Also, if the main ship dies while separated, you lose the ship and end up just flying the Aquarius/BoP as your actual ship until you can claim another Odyssey/Bortasqu'.
22. If you kill a player in PvP, you get their gear as loot. If you destroy their starship, you get a random amount of their space gear as loot.
23. Bring back exploration using the ever so wonderful random content generator we already introduced. Instead of not being allowed to enter deep space, you enter a new sector. Hope you don't encounter any new super-factions that happen to despise peace.
24. Whenever using a Triolic Pattern Enhancer, you have a 0.000000000000000047% chance to summon Darth Vader to assist you.
25. Make every single faction playable with a full story and the whole bit.
26. In fact, integrate the game with the real world; and grant us that Baku planet radiation stuff to make us immortal, so we can wait a few centuries and captain a starship ourselves.
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
