    Did they ever put the Starship Emotes in the GPL store?

    That would be nice. :)

    So, I'm guessing that means they didn't. LOL :D

    Giving latinum some more use would indeed be great.

    Having some sort of Lobi-exchange would also be great, even incredibly awsome.

    However, I doubt Lobi will ever be obtainable anywhere except lockboxes/promo-packs. The one-off FE-Lobi were more like a fun-for-exactly-one-time-only treasure-hunt.

    Emotes would be nice. Maybe some of the outfits could be bought for GPL. Or some weapons from the events or that were missed after a while could be sold on the GPL like the Cochrane shotgun after it's been a good amount of time to let people have a shot to get one.

    Though make it like 10 million GPL or something. Least it would have uses.

    The event-rewards and some other one-offs are already covered by the phoenix-prize-pack, which is certainly going to be expanded upon.

    I would like to sink X amount of GPL for a Ferengi Vanity Shield "Grand Proxy Vanity Shield" or "FCA Liquidator Vanity Shield" to gold plate the hull with.

    Anyone else find it funny that in the TV series, it was GPL that was valuable and folks could buy ships and planets with it, and Lobi Crystals were next to worthless?

    Shouldn't Cryptic flip-flop the terms so that everyone was seeking to amass GPL instead of Lobi - like in the shows? B)

    The reason for this is complicated. GPL was an ingame-currency from the start. Lobi were introduced with the Ferengi-lockbox, and system-wise they're merely a stackable inventory-item. Originally there were no ships (just shuttles) in the lobi-store, only the cosmetic items, pets, consumables (that have been transferred to the DIL-store), and the gimmicky ground/space-sets.

    PWE and Cryptic should definately do something with GPL, may be even establish a Lobi-exchange there, but they will shy away from this as long as possible.
