Cryptic, heres another thing that needs desperate attention before the game goes live in F2P. Supposedly our toons have been through, some of the toughest physical training, combat training and survival courses that the federation can throw at them, But can you explain to me why the women of Starfleet run as if there from a bad Japanese anime, with body motions that would make any physical trainer cringe.
Things you may want to look at are, motion capture of athletes, or Military personnel, to show you how the humanoid body should work, with and without carrying weaponry, failing this go back to the old run cycle, it may not have been perfect but it is far better than is being used at the moment.

10 -billion % - I agree. It SUCKS. I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE it. I carry a rifle all the time - not because I like them, not because I want to use them [ I'd use pistols really ] but because the damn animation is SO terrible.
Please, for the love of ... whatever you want! Just fix the stupid thing.
The thing is, Cryptic used to have a better run cycle in place for females in STO. And then they changed it to the current one for some reason. I'd just like the old one back as an option.
Thats the problem, 100% of all ground action you see your toon from behind...
And yes, the main issue is that it used to be BETTER than it is now. I want the old one back. Asked for it immediately when the stupid change went in on Live. I've actually not played STO since that change, because of how stupid it makes my characters look.
I'm playing to test the F2P stuff, and still hate it.
-edit-
They had the female walk animation from CO for the 'Vixen' stance in for 2 days, then changed it to this silly walk animation along with the sprint/jog one. I want either the original or the one they had in for those 2 or 3 days before the last animation change.
Earlier today, while walking between trains for transfer...saw a short lady with booted heels (high), did the same run, minus the arm swinging.
Recommendation:Please remove it. Or revert back the original animation.
Thank You.
In defense of the new animation, the old animation didn't suit all the characters.
However, and in equal amounts, the new animation does not suit all the characters.
What's needed here is the option to select an animation much in the same way we can select a stance. Then we can have a Default run animation, a Feminine run animation, and a Seductive run animation.. all things that we have been presented with.
They don't run like anime schoolgirls, though. These military trained women who are now captains of starships run as if they're four, and their brother is chasing them with a slug. Was the previous run cycle really that bad compared to this?
No offense meant Segma, but its quite obvious why this isnt done. Its Cryptics mighty game engine, wich would probably just choke and crash to desktop every time you opened it. :rolleyes:
