Hmmm
An end to all the whiners
An end to all the nerf's in the name of balance. Balance is an illusion in a game like this.
An end to pvp in STO
An end all the self appointed experts
An end to letting all factions have all other factions special ability I.E. Singularity abilities on KDf and Fed that kind of stuff.
Cosmetic Shield/Engine/Deflector effects for ships.
IE using the Delta set but want Borg set visuals, pay dil for each cosmetic piece, slot into cosmetic slots for looks.
This is a fantastic idea.
It's amazing to me that in this day and age, companies still don't realize the money that can be made from cosmetic items. Allowing players to have the look they want while using whatever gear best suits their style is a 100% sure fire success. If offered, players will use it and appreciate it.
If they're going to introduce a new Dilithium Sink (which I don't think they should or will) this is the best option. Why? Because it serves the purpose without putting it on something people absolutely have to have. If I don't want to use this system, I can just ignore it and continue to get Spec points under the current system.
Overall, the point is moot. The system as it is right now works in Cryptics favor. The last thing Cryptic wants to do is put in ways to make Zen easier to get without spending cash. If anything, they want the Dil price to go even higher.
I would pay hundreds of thousands of Dil for crafted gear if I could at least select the mods I want after a time gate of a year for nothing (lvl 20 crafting school).
I would pay millions over millions of Dil for rarity upgrades of my gear if could get salvage technology on maps I actually like to play and quality boosters besides the opening of useless crafting boxes.

1. T5 to T6
2. Get spec points (after hitting level 60)
3. Instantly making guns (space - ground) and gear mk 14 UR but not epic
4. Species change

6. Skill retrain
7. Select mods on crafting
8. Sponsor system for fleets to sponsor other fleets
9. To obtain past event ships such as; 2yr oddy, obelisk, ambassador, etc etc
10. Bring back NWS and the old DS9 omega store.
I know it's been mentioned before, but I would pay for my Lock Box Ships to be claimable by my other toons.
When I first remember hearing the word levelling, I did assume that I'd be able to create a character and it be (at the time is was) 50.
I'd like to be able to use an account bank, even though I don't pay a subscription.
I would also ADORE a recycle bin that goes back to when I first started the game...and discarded things I didn't realize were any good, which I want back now, but are never to be got again.

Lock Box Ships to be claimable by my other toons
an unlock on things like the red matter thingy
- The possibility to change tac consoles (and possibly weapons) into another type. For example: I'm using Fleet plasma tac consoles. Then I buy an Intel escort and I want to maximise the effect of its Phaser lance, so I change to phaser weapons and add tac consoles. Right now I'd have to buy all new tac consoles and upgrade them all to do this. The release of the upgrade system has made it impossible or way too expensive to change gear. Every time a new reputation system (like the new Iconian resistance AP weapons) is released, there's an incentive to change gear as well.
And one thing I would expect for free:
- A full interior for lockbox and lobi ships. I don't mind having a standard Fed interior added to the special bridge. I'm not even asking for special interiors, just having an interior at all would be an improvement.
I still think it's ridiculous that the most expensive ships in the game don't have access to a full interior while all the free ships do have those, and even more options for a few hundred Zen. And I really don't care that it may be expensive to add those, these ships are a, if not the major source of income. I think it's reasonable to expect at least a finished product if they're making most of their money off of those.
Refined dil----> buy a new ship or atleast mitigate its exorbitant costs. I suppose that's why ship prices are so high ... Metrics maybe telling cryptic that most peeps ingame do have large resources of refined dil to mitigate their idiotic pricing so they don't feel any issue.
unrefined dil
> can be used to upgrade bound to character equipment only. (Wish)
I would be fine if they doubled or tippled the dilithium costs of upgrading and crafting if we were allowed to choose mods (100% guaranteed) on what we craft/upgrade.
Won't happen, this would make 90% of the suffixes rendered useless.
It has to somewhat be a game of chance...
Otherwise we'd see nothing but triple CritH weapons, for one.
And this brings the value of items in a larger range.

I would be ok with this as well.

I'd pay dil to be able to run an STF solo (with the difficulty scaled appropriate to a solo player).
And that's not a stab at the abilities of my (frequently) PUG teammates - I've had both good and bad, and expect as much.
I just think it'd be a good way for me to get to see all of those STFs that can't ever queue up.

I would pay for epic. Why don't you?
