If it's one wish mine would be the largest expansion ever. Every world would be twice as big (map wise) as New Romulas with a ton of missions, boss monsters , storylines and much needed quality drops. All quadrants would be twice as big as what it is (yes Gamma included) with even more worlds to explore. An impossibility in real life but that's what wishes are for ! lol
"There is iron in your words of death for all Comanche to see, and so there is iron in your words of life. No signed paper can hold the iron. It must come from men. The words of Ten Bears carries the same iron of life and death. It is good that warriors such as we meet in the struggle of life... or death. It shall be life." - Ten Bears (Will Sampson)
I'd definitely wish for the end of this "exclusivity and collectability" fiasco and allow all of the past event rewards, ships and other items included, to be account unlocks and be available to earn each time their respective events roll around.
If not that, then I would wish for many, many billions of Dilithium, that way I'd have unlimited resources to buy pretty much everything I want, whether it be Fleet gear, EC (via selling Master Keys and such), or ZEN ships.
And if that wish is also not valid, by final choice would be a fully-unlocked and much more extensive character tailor, because I want to make aliens with tentacle heads and tails without needing to resort to hacks or something to do it. Not that I have resorted to hacks, but I seriously don't see why we can't have a more in-depth character creation system with many more options than we have now, especially when it comes to Aliens. I find it hard to believe that Caitians/Ferasans are the only sentient aliens in the galaxy that have tails.
One wish, huh? Well, tailor has already been covered, as have a few others things...
I'd say a better faction system. Feds, KDF, and Roms are all their own faction. They create their own faction-specific fleets, they have their own ships and homeworlds and starbases and DoFFs and colonists and BoFFs and everything. They're all independent of each other. Teaming is cross-faction, but that's it. And these factions all have their ow storylines. Because why would Romulans give a rip about the Bajorans or the Breen, why would Klingons care about helping Romulans and, well, the Feds care about everything. Sure, the Solonae and Delta and Iconian arcs are cross-faction, but everything else isn't. Because none of them care about each other.
There, that's my wish. Wholly independent factions.
A real Armada system. You're a FLEET ADMIRAL, you deserve an escort. Your ships that you staff up and equip.
But seeing as that is unrealistic, I'll go for something that is. A T7 Galaxy Class built to canon specs. 14 phaser banks and 2 photon torpedoes with a billion sci, tac and eng slots and 6 commander universal slots that are truly universal. And of course I'm the only person that can have the ship. That's a realistic wish right?
Cheers from Antonio Valerio Cortez III, Half-Celestial Archduke of the Free Marches Confederacy.
That all the people with horrible ideas would stop having horrible ideas.
"He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."
Before I give my "wish", I would like to comment on some of the ones posted that I like. In no particular order...
Make a T6 Miranda! One of my favorite ship designs in all of Trek, and it's done at T1. Making a T6 version is totally do-able. Give it 6 weapon ports and make it a science vessel. I would love that. But why stop there. Make T6 of all the lower tier stuff.(Also, see my wish below.)
Allow Admirals to command an actual fleet, or squadron, of ships taken from the ships they've already unlocked. Fabulous idea, and totally do-able. We already get to take four followers on an away team mission. We can already team up with four friends in a space mission. Some space missions already have NPC ships help you, on occasion. I don't think it would be that much of a stretch to be able to select four follower ships to accompany your ship. (The away team would still be the same.) This would be a great way to promote BOFFs. Also, if the squadron requirement was one ship of each teir (1-2-3-4), then that would add value to the ships you've already unlocked, and, special lower tier ships could also be sold for zen, etc.
Stop the exclusivity problem. As a new player, there is a huge list of things I cannot own for this game. It's great the they gave all that stuff away for free to all those players. But, new people can't even buy it, let alone farm dil for it. If they put all that stuff on sale in the C-store, all the people who got it free would still have it, and the rest of us would at least have the option to buy it. The way it is now makes us new people feel kind of like second class citizens.
Fix the lock and key problem. I remember that moment when I picked up my first lock box while playing "Time and Tide", and I thought I had really found something awesome. Then I found the list of what can be found in a lock box, along with the mathematical chances of each thing being in one. Yeah. There is also something wrong when a "master" key (aka, disposable one time use key) goes for about 4.5 million on the exchange, but the lock box goes for less than the cost of a sandwich out of your own replicator. This issue is not likely to change, and would probably require it's own thread, anyway, so I'll shut up about it.
My Wish: make the starship upgrade tokens upgrade ANY ship! That way, you can buy 5 starship upgrade tokens and make the Miranda (or other T1) a T6 ship.
PS, I tried to keep this to stuff that could be done. We would all love unlimited zen and creativity for this game, wouldn't we?
Today's wish: That a dev would be assigned to go over all the older lockbox grand prize and lobi ships from before the introduction of Specializations and change one seat on each of them to a potential Command, Intel, or Pilot seat as best fits their theme. This is a relatively simple polishing pass to better link these vessels to mechanics added to the game after their release.
Detailed tooltips on the stats and weapons, like:
Shields 20.000 (10.000 from equipped shields, 1.000 from shield multiplier, 2.500 from skills, 1.200 from equipped console, etc...)
I know, two wishes, but the first one is IMHO sooooo tiny....
I wish ship class/design/kitbashing and stats/boff seats/gear slots were both completely separate, unrelated mechanics, with ship class being completely, 100% cosmetic only
No more lockbox and Lobi store items. Any items that were in them to be put into the cstore under the same per character restrictions, at a reasonable price instead of the price gouging gambling way...
This would make me happy. It bothers me that you have a gambling mechanic that can involve real money in a game that is aimed at all ages. It doesn't seem very "Trek" either. I get that they need money coming in, but that's what the store is for and it's far more transparent.
Another long standing wish for me. Faction uniforms stay faction, but everything else open. An end to the ugly KDF colour palette as well, give everyone a much wider one than currently exists in game.
My wish is simple. FIX ALL THE BUGS in the game, and get more involved with people playing the game in the actual game.
In an ideal world there would be no bugs, but failing that just much more dedication to finding and squashing them. Prioritising the ones that bother players rather than the exploits might also generate some good will.
I'd probably opt for the lock box one even though that might mean me spending more money in this game (as I refuse to participate in the lottery box con).

Return exploration and make the planets actually have some kind of sandbox use.
Star Trek Battles member. Want to roll with a good group of people regardless of fleets and not have to worry about DPS while doing STFs? Come join the channel and join in the fun!
One wish?
STO in modern engine with modern mechanics and with lively and balanced space and ground PvP and PvE without grind events, time barriers, and other useless pseudo-social sht.
Not gonna happen so...
Say a genie offers you but one wish for Star Trek Online, and the genie will grant you whatever you wish.
I thought about it and what I wish for is asymmetry in the character creator. Different sized eyes, asymmetrical facial features, and asymmetrical hands so you can have one big hand / one small like a crab has.
What would be your one (1) genie wish for Star Trek Online?
Keep in mind that pretty much all Genie wishes backfire in some horrible (but clearly predictable) way.
The ability to activate friendly fire in social areas and STFs. Instead of a "vote kick" I'd like a vote "friendly fire" where we can choose to fire upon and blow out of the heavens, or vaporize anyone who's provoked the ire of the group/team, sending them either out of the mission, or to another instance.
:::Shazam!:::
Friendly Fire is enabled, but YOU are constantly targeted and killed by your teammates, and are forced to solo forever!
I would wish for STO to become a sandbox MMO at its core, Where players, if determined enough, can have a meaningful impact on the galaxy. All the theme park content would remain a part of the game. It would just no longer be stuff you have to grind over and over and over again to justify logging in...
:::Shazam!:::
You have your sandbox MMO, but it's boring and no one plays it, so it's shuttered within the year.
Already the most awesome ship in the game, just got moar awesome!
:::Shazam!:::
Your T-∞ Vorcha one-shots everything, and can't even get scratched. This is immensely satisfying for about 30 minutes, and then bores you to tears for the rest of time.
Complete control of development... that would probably be my one wish. And by complete I mean I make ALL decisions, no CBS or PWE sticking their nose in.
if we're talkin more character related like the OP's own wish? hmmm probably Branching dialogue trees that actually matter
:::Shazam!:::
You have TOTAL control over development. You make every minute decision. Your development team grows weary of your micromanaging, and quit over the course of two months, leaving you to try and develop the game on your own.
If it's one wish mine would be the largest expansion ever. Every world would be twice as big (map wise) as New Romulas with a ton of missions, boss monsters , storylines and much needed quality drops. All quadrants would be twice as big as what it is (yes Gamma included) with even more worlds to explore. An impossibility in real life but that's what wishes are for ! lol
:::Shazam!:::
Every zone is twice as large, including the Gamma Quadrant, but twice nothing is still nothing. Performance suffers horribly, leaving you to play the game with all of the settings on low, and at Renderscale .5.
I'd like for the Genie to make Jeri Ryan jump out of the game and into my lap.
She'd just slap yer face and then climb back into the game.

Actually more story for Kilingons and make the RRW, a real faction, not a quasi one.... Oh! and get rid of that stupid forced BOFF for all Romulan characters, godz I wish I could space his TRIBBLE.
Keep in mind that pretty much all Genie wishes backfire in some horrible (but clearly predictable) way.

Excellent point. My wish is now that said STO Genie would actually do what I wanted!

(No, I'm not British, but apparently neither is the chat filter that targets misspellings of carp. Plus, since the forums belong to Vanilla rather than STO, the Genie isn't helping...)
With each passing day I wonder if I stepped into an alternate reality. The Cubs win the world series. Donald Trump is President. Britain leaves the EU. STO gets a dedicated PvP season. Engineers are "out of control" in STO.

And a fleet version, so that Cryptic can make money on fleet modules too.
"Let them eat static!"
If not that, then I would wish for many, many billions of Dilithium, that way I'd have unlimited resources to buy pretty much everything I want, whether it be Fleet gear, EC (via selling Master Keys and such), or ZEN ships.
