Please add Race Change Tokens

Ok so this has to be my second year in a row or something like that asking for this feature. I'm a fickle person at times (I'll be the first to admit it), and I get sick of my avatar after a while. I'll make a bajoran and level up to VA then get sick of my character's race (not the toon in general) and want to change to something else. However that means rolling an entirely new toon. To date I have 2 VA Engineers, 1 VA Science, 1 VA Tactical, 1 RA Science, 1 LG Science, and 1 LG Engineer.

Frankly I'm sick of the leveling process. As of late my new "fad" is vulcans but I can't do it, I just can't do it. No more leveling for me, as such I've been desperate for a race change token. So far you can rename your character but changing anything beyond that is still absent. WoW thankfully has that option for around $25 dollars. I'd love it if STO would have that feature and I'm sure Cryptic/PWI's bank account would like it too. I know I'm not the only person who wants to see this added to the game, and seriously this isn't the first time I've asked for this feature.

I kinda think that with the disincentivizing of alts, maybe they should just go through the database, make everyone a custom alien, give custom aliens all existing costume options and traits and rethink what a species even MEANS.

I think the simplest solution for a fickle person would be to make an alien then have the freedom to change the characters physical appearence whenever boredom strikes.

Changing race would involve changing the inherent skills, I don't know how difficult that would be for the devs.

I would play an alien but as a Trek fan and an RPer I love having that tag attached to my character that difinitvely states they are "this race".

As for what it takes to change inherent skills I don't know, sadly I'm not a programer. However as stated above the races really don't mean much, it's just cosmetic for the most part. WoW did it and I think their races mean more then STOs races when it comes to stats and such.
