    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.

    Gold Armor would be rather heavy o.o

    Not to mention ineffective, as even a blunt weapon could destroy it.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.

    I would love to seem more ship Holoemitters in the GPL Store. I believe there are 2 out there that have not been added: one from a Delta mission and the Jem'hadar Attach Ship Holoemitter (which, I have). I would like to see the Defera shuttles (the ships stationed on the Defera map) to be added to the Holoemitter list.

    Plus a good conductor.

    No I wasn't.

    "Bigger and more dramatic" is vague in that it fails to define those terms in context. Let's not get into a pedantic, hair-splitting slap fight over it.

    Some of the now missing emotes and dance moves?

    Nothing about it specifically excludes that possibility, either. And we both know full well there are people who delight in causing aggravation for other players. If you aren't looking for that, great.

    I don't think we're going to see any kind of conversion to an existing currency. There are characters that have hundreds of thousands, millions of GPL already, that kind of conversion would crash an existing economy.

    unless they put in a limit to how much you can convert each day

    as for what i'd like to see in the GPL store...things that make sense​​
    Like special weapons from other Star Trek games? Wondering if they can be replicated in STO even a little bit? Check this out: https://forum.arcgames.com/startrekonline/discussion/1262277/a-mostly-comprehensive-guide-to-star-trek-videogame-special-weapons-and-their-sto-equivalents

    Purely Aesthetic items. Since we have the new slots for ship visual, it would be nice to find sets with no stats, just to add cool and fun visuals to the ships. Things like alternate borg assimilations, armoring, better weapon hard points like cannons, just things like that. More so, if they added the visual style slots to the Character models as well, allowing us to get visual items for our characters or even down to the costumes themselves. Jem'Hadar features and ketracel systems, more borg assimilation options, weapon skins... Things of a purely visual standpoint. It would be great for unused concept art, fan submissions, variant skins for existing sets.

    Since it is kind of canon, how about your own 'small moon' private map as a personal holding. Say for 5 million GPL you buy what is effectively a one-person fleet starbase sort of map that is more like the airless lunar surface with a small shelter on it? Then for more GPL you add onto it? Additions could include dabo wheel, bank, exchange, mail...the usual. Put the place in some unused system in alpha or beta quad. Of course you could invite other captains to it. Maybe cross-faction invites too, like ships (and not fleet holdings)

    I bet that it wouldn't be difficult for Cryptic to make this sort of addition and would give players accumulating GPL something (like Quark) to shoot for, with their GPL troves. Much better than buying weeks' worth of disco bombs.

    Then there are those of us who actually play Ferengi characters, yet have no desire to own a moon. It's a relatively stationary target, difficult to defend without people there, and easily lost to someone who holds a grudge.

    I'll keep my Tuffli, Amerie, D'kora, and Suliban Cell Ship, thank you very much indeed.
    Space Barbie Extraordinaire. Got a question about Space Barbie? Just ask.

    Things I want in STO:

    1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
    2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
    3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
    4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
    5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
    6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
    7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
    8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!

    Useful stuff like Gear and SHIPS! Not stupid emitters that only disguse your ship. GPL stuff is USELESS GARBAGE right now!

    I would like to see them move the lobi outfits and noncombat pets to the GPL store.

    You don't want to pick fights with unidentified moons. They have a tendency to turn out not to be moons, and actually be space stations.

    FTFY.

    Account bound tech upgrades, some of the older emotes, some of the older lobi gear, mostly the consumables, maybe some of the truly old weapons, older skills.. A ship might be nice, something tier 6 and ferengi, maybe an upgrade on the modest (tier 6, but no spec or command) D'kora. you know a starship trait that adds a bonus to EC and GPL on mission completion or something.

    Since the most recent patch, I am seeing almost no gpl missions. For the first couple days there were tons of them.
  • captainkenny1captainkenny1 Member Posts: 326 Arc User
    I noticed that my toon with no gpl gets a lot of them and my toon with over 1 mill gpl almost gets none. Could be coincidental

    There is nothing "impossible" about getting ships from the phoenix.

    I said 'effectively impossible' which is different from 'truly impossible'.

    To be honest I never opened a phoenix box hoping to get a ship. I open them for the awesome Phoenix Upgrades.

    As do I, my good fellow.
