So, Cryptic you really don't want my money?

Hello everyone,
after a long long while I've came back to the game. After all those changes it is almost a new game for me. Even staying updated through webradio and other feeds, the game went way more complex. Way to go Cryptic! You people give me a hard time bgeeing critical.:biggrin:

I even like your F2P model. Well almost. I have the feeling, you don't want my money.
Better I'll explain this:
I for one love the char editor. The ships are fine and so, but I'm more of a human avatar guy. I already had bought almost all of the C-Store custom parts for the avatars. And now, almost over a year later, coming back, I have no oportunity buying new ones.

Of course you developers have to watch for the rest of the game, I understand that, but uniforms, suites and bodyparts would've been in my opion a very good posibility to give the users a litle more personalitsation, and you could've get money through "easy" work.


Since I play very sporadic, sadly it ain't interesting for me neither having a monthly account or a LTA. Nevertheless, I love Cryptic's work and I would be very glad do buy (for me) usefull products.

Months ago there was a discussion about body parts. Some of us wishing tails, and more alienated traits. Others had the idea using up the racial traits of bought races (alien char using the ears of a ferengi). Recently in the game there was poping up another idea: tentaclemonsters. Well we all know, in Star trek all sentient beeings in the galaxy have common traits, like beeing all humaoid forms, yadayada. However gainig the tentacle monster don't have to be against this rule.

All in all I belive there is a mass possibility for Cryptc as well for us, if we get more races and gain the possibility to use their racial inherits for the alien Creator.

Most of the paid species became free with F2P.

That said, I would totally pay for a big thematic bundle for custom aliens.

My preference would be for it to include:

Lal-style unfinished android heads.
Salt Vampire-style heads.
Mugato-style heads.
Caitian-style heads.
Clawed feet.
Webbed feet, ala Ensign Dax.
Webbed hands.
Two toe feet.
Three fingered hands.
Tails.
Extra stances. I'm thinking one that's more beastly than the gruff stance and another that's aristocratic, inspired by Kivas Fajo and Weyoun. Y'Know, something with a a dainty wrist stance as though you're composing an orchestra, with the occasional yawn. Maybe a third stance that's a bit creepy and spider-like, kinda like Gary Oldman in "The Professional" with a bit of a tweaker, jittery vibe and neck cracking.

Maybe bundle in a costume or two with that, even if it has to be accessed via dropdown.

My preference would be for the costume to include all of the KDF species-specific parts EXCEPT for the actual Klingon ones. Let people mix and match Nausicaan/Orion/Gorn costume pieces with a few offduty pieces thrown in for an authentic "alien trader" look.

That would be perfect for the Freighter hitting the game and maybe more perfect if they could flat out add a couple of flat fee (but more limited) Freighter style ships at the same time, like an Orion Cargo ship and a Bajoran Cargo ship. Being smaller, I'd have these as low turnrate, high hull shuttles. Similar to the DOFF pack ship but without the crafting. (You'd still get, say, bank access and exchange.)

Are there no other opinions on this matter?
Come on, you know, if no one talks about, then there is no need for it.

For some of us changing clothes and rebuildung our toons is a major part of the game experience.

Likely because most of us are content with the 50+ uniform options (with tens of thousands of possible combinations) and actually want cryptic artists to spend more time making useful content instead of more TRIBBLE to spend money on.
