Permanent "self-only" holoemitters - I wanna see a Connie/D7/T'Liss/Galaxy/Intrepid as "me" on my screen, I don't care if the rest of you see my pizza-cutter Nautilus (or whatever ship I may be in that day).

All sorts of other cosmetic things, leave GPL as the space Barbie currency it is now but with more uses...
Detecting big-time "anti-old-school" bias here. NX? Lobi. TOS/TMP Connie? Super-promotion-box. (aka the two hardest ways to get ships) Excelsior & all 3 TNG "big hero" ships? C-Store. Please Equalize...

A GPL sink would be useless and not beneficial to anyone.
As the current GPL Store stands? You're right. There's nothing worth buying there. Why give us a currency that really has no real use right now other than getting accolades and latinum trophies?

Not like the accents in the ship customizer, but a full on "change the base-coat color of your ship to one of your liking" paint job. Not fond of the base colors you get for each skin? Paint the ship.
I know a certain Gorn character that would love to own a neon orange ship.
Dev blog regarding star ship emotes:
"While these will remain exclusively available on the Summer Buyback Store for the time being, these Emote Packs will eventually also become available for Gold-Pressed Latinum."
A ship reboxer item, allowing us to rebox a ship we do not need any more to transfer to another toon. Make the new box account bound to avoid exploiting.
The biggest mistake in the development of STO was not calling the exchange currency "GPL."
At the moment there is no Latinum economy. So switching the Exchange from ECs to GPL wouldn't work. Not only that, ECs are the main currency for buying things. Just switching it to GPL will probably have a bad effect on the economy.
At least its not based on Dilithium. Neverwinter's Auction House runs on their version, Astral Diamonds. Not pleasant.

While I agree about EC (since in a universe with fusion, does energy even cost anything?), but the thing with the Foundry is that people like to think they aren't just holodeck missions. Which is bolstered by their being associated with the sector map
Anyway, one possible use for GPL that might work is for it to purchase 1-time admiralty cards. In essence, hiring mercenaries.
IF it ever did happen (which it won't) the conversion rate would be like 1 Lobi per 500k GPL.
The new Admiralty can award like 80k GPL (highest Ive seen so far) for one little mission....
People don't seriously think Cryptic and PWE will flush one of their strongest income streams down the toilette and basically just "give" Lobi away, do they ??
ehhh I guess this is a "wishlist" thread though.... But really. That's most illogical.
Personally I'd be happy if they added a few more ready room trophy's, a few new costumes (Trader/smuggler type stuff), and a few new pets.
If they really wanted to blow my mind... They could sell gold plating for your favorite ground weapons (visual) for GPL.. Like 500k per weapon or something.
Or they could have a weapons shop where a variety of gold plated weapons are sold.
My "unrealistic" request would be;
Super Upgrade Techs for GPL.. (the ones that bring any weapon/item to Epic MKXIV).
Like 500k-1mil GPL per unit.
Or a simple Quality Upgrade Token, which would automatically raise a weapon/items quality 1 level.
Will never happen, but I guess it doesn't hurt to ask.
90 million gpl for a 900 lobi ship, that is a lot of gpl! Ferengi wise,add a conversion fee of 5%. Idk how fast people get gpl but over 90 mill of that stuff may take a while. I am not saying they should but let it sink in for a bit... 90 mill of gpl. Sounds good for metrics

Only because there's currently no incentive to obtain that much. By playing Dabo you can effectively buy 1 GPL for 1.75 EC. I'm not saying I'm averse to trading GPL for EC but you'd have to add a zero to your price to make it even remotely possible.
Actually grinding that much GPL would take you a LONG time, because you need to pay nearly constant attention to the game to play dabo.

They never have before so why would they now?
You were unclear on the exact parameters of "bigger and more dramatic".

A disco ball in space, the size of a Dyson sphere, when placed on 1 side of the map, it can be seen on the complete other side of the map!
GPL -> Lobi? I don't see that happen, frankly. Nevertheless, *some* good items should be in said store.
N.B. Bought a 500k GPL Floor trophy, but I have yet to find a ship it will fit on. I suppose it will only go on ships with a ready room (as that's where the 'Trophy setup' console would be).
So while refreshing my alts' doff & admiralty missions today, I added up my GPL. Now, I had a few K on most characters (from trading in WInter ornaments) so that I could do Special Entertainment doffing.
A few days of Admiralty * 11 characters = 3.2mil GPL.
Yeah, GPL->Lobi is never gonna happen. But they definitely have to come up with something to spend this stuff on.
(as a side note, generating that much GPL with a bit of Admiralty makes me think back at when I farmed up a "huge" pile to unlock the Club outfit and /headdesk)

That is 3.2 mill spread out over 11 characters, it has to be on 1 character since you can't transfer gpl from one to another
I'd like a solid gold latinum armour outfit for 1bil GPL, all shiny and reflective. And it comes with a built in constantly active subspace party amplifier that follows you around as you move, plus a holo-emitter to summon any pet in the game as a holo-companion.

-Outfits
-Pets?
-New weapon flavour?
-Boffs (Maybe another Breen? / Hirogen / Cardassian)
-Doffs
-Ships ('Generic' Starships?)
1 Lobi for 10k GPL

The question was: "what would I like to see in the GPL store?"
Not, "what would I get to buy at an inflated price in the exchange?"

You were unclear on the exact parameters of "bigger and more dramatic".

Gold Armor would be rather heavy o.o
