    This would be a BIG one for me :)..

    Something im hoping for is more realistic physics, too often i have a female toon in a skirt with what can only be described as galactic flatulence, that bolt of cloth wont sit still!
    And her hair must be held with some kind of miracle hairspray O.o;

    Just some small hopes;
    • better makeup shading
    • compound injuries (for rp purpose :D)
    • more hair styles, shades and maybe multi-shade tints etc
    • A few kdf costumes wouldnt go amiss :rolleyes:
    • a wierd hope, if i have a character that has a bare chest (orion male) or a lady with revealing clothing, for them not to look positively anoerixic, rib cages freak me out :|
    • A few more colour choices for KDF toons on uniforms, I have 9 toons bored of dark grey, dark red, dark blue and dark yellow/brown, need something more <.< (yes colours like pink and pale blue are not really 'KDF' but there is so much more spectrum, that or give us some off duty clothing! >:Z)

    And a big one about the UI of the creator..

    LET ME ZOOM WHERE I WANT!
    If im customizing my shoes, i don't want to zoom into my face :D

    Definitely that but I'm expecting too much by hoping for that! The ability to mix and match all costume options, duty or off duty, rank styles, etc. More KDF costume options and more Fed also. All of the uniforms completely redone so they don't look like 8-bit clothing! The return of the retro Gorn skins and colors.

    If I could wish for it to be anything, I'd say just make it like the one EVE Online has. Anyone that have tried it after November 30th, 2010 knows what I'm talking about. Found this decent YouTube video on the subject.

    I'd like TRIBBLE to not look like two lumps glued to either side of the chest and instead look like they're under a uniform.

    I'd like a heap more hairstyles. It's easy to find some lady's fashion magazines for references.

    Some original foreheads and nose pieces. Some more trouser options.

    Some more variety in the Saurian and Gorn heads.

    Maybe more for KDF over all.

    As long as they don't decrease the numbers of possible outcome of how a character looks, I'm fine.
    I don't see the point of changing the creator if they are going to take away certain sliders and options.

    1. Comm-badges that better fit the boob sliders.
      It can't be that difficult.
    2. A better looking WOK Badge
      You can do better.
    3. More "bare forehead" hairs.
      This is Star Trek.. weird foreheads are like our 'thing'.. let us show them off!
    4. Consistent customization options across gender
      Really.. there's no excuse for the men being able to color their TMP insignia, and women can't.

    Hair for Orion males (they DO have it the borg style metal is not something natural)

    Smaller TRIBBLE as standard for females

    FLAT option for aliens (less than 20% of species are mammals why does everything have TRIBBLE?)

    Insectoid mouthparts for Aliens

    On a similar note, a 'non gender' would also be nice :D

    There are aliens in trek that are genderless (non namable spring to mind atm, but they are threre!)

    a star trek-themed rework of whatever one they put in neverwinter

    you know.

    along with the ground combat engine to go along with it.

    i don't care if i have to rework my character's looks. I'm confident that if i could make a character look a certain way in City of Star Trek's character creator, i could do at least as well with any modern character creator.

    How about the ability to change the lighting in the Tailor? I can't name the number of times I've done something in the Tailor, only to find out it looks different under actual lighting conditions in the game.

    I've seen this done in other games (City of Heroes springs to mind), I should think it could be done here.

    From Dan Stahl's comments, they're just streamlining the initial character creation process. I don't think they're touching the Tailor itself.

    Male characters with bare arms have some semblance of muscle definition. Female characters do not. I think it ought to at least be an option.

    I doubt that (the highlighted) is likely to happen. A dev once explained that to keep STO's rating they can't allow anything to be done with a characters that could allow them to be confused with children since then the game could be accused of containing violence... etc. against children.

    So that's part of why the male avatars never have less than a 5 o'clock shadow, and why the females are clearly post-pubescent.

    I do like the idea of mixing Robes with Uniform stuff. For example, the guards First City, the Academy, and Starbase. They wear red and black robes with the Veteran shoulder pauldrons. Let us do this. The robe, Korath trousers, Bortasqu boots, and Veteran pauldrons if you have them, this is a uniform that will indeed make any non KDF seethe with envy! :D
