Was wondering if at some point you guys (cryptic) might consider a Race/Gender change for characters, a C-store set up for this would be fine by me. Just wondering.

Second. As well as adding a career change service, like from tac to engineer.
For instance, I currently use the "Alien" species to painstakingly create a Cardassian Science BOff. If and when Cardies become playable races, I'd like to use such a "re-character" token to officially transition him into the canon race.
Got my LTS a couple of months after I started.
I'm Human Tactical, and I'd LOVE to switch to Alien Tactical. I don't plan on having 20+ characters, just one, and it'd be fun to have different costumes, one Cardy, one Romulan, one Deferi, one Klingon, and one HuMON.
Anyway, I want to change the RACE of my character, but keep everything I have.
and the Cstore is working as intended. They want you to spend as much money as often as you have to. They don't want to make it easy on you. This is just one reason why things went character unlock for many items.
+ 1 here for me.
Being officially recognized as another race could require trait respecs.
wow also had INGAME currency to respec skills lol
anyways..+1 from me
only down side is they would need to give us a trait respec to go with it due to all the different traits.
faction change is also very interesting, i would be having many lvl 50 Romulans
A quick search of the forums here show that many, many other players have asked for this in the past. I know there are game play elements that have to be considered but I would pay 5000 Zen in a heartbeat just to change my current character's race without having to start over from scratch.
Don't believe the lies in this forum. I am NOT an ARC user. I play STO on Steam or not at all.
$50 USD for a race redo?
Wow, let the hyper inflation begin.
Or, better yet, an Origins Lock Box w/ a non-exchange sellable race redo token as the top prize.
I realize that most people don't want to pay that, but then most players aren't trying to select a new race without starting a character from scratch.
I'm just being honest about how much I'd be "willing" to pay if Cryptic offered the option. Of course, I'd LOVE it if the option was FREE if you've reached level 50 but I know the devs usually can't make things like this happen unless there is revenue tied to it.
So, I considered how badly I personally want to select a new race for my main character, considered what Cryptic charges for other major things in the C-store and decided I would personally pay up to $50 just to be able to "re-race" my current character.

While I would really like this, I think something along the lines of what a re-spec token is would be more appropriate.
Apart from the price I support what the OP has said. With the new trait system coming in I would love to have a re-racial token.
THIS
i really agree with you.
+1 for changing race traits, and especially gender
i would be very grateful for that
Also, gender is a cosmetic thing for a computer character. In this game, where we have so much freedom in reshaping our character, a wonderful feature I have to say, gender changing should be part of that.
Gender change can be a hot toppic. I don't know why. There is almost no game were there is a difference between a male and female character. From a roleplaying point of view that doesn't make sense, but I think most game makeres don't wantto burn themselves (everybody the same, no differences, no hate).
In the end the character is just a bunch of pixels. My girls, how good they may look, in the inside is the player, me and this keeps them still mannish.
Gender change, sure why not. Wouldn't need it myself, but if someone wants one, might as well sell it to them. However, there are clothing items that are gender specific. You would lose those.
Class change I can see being problematic. The ground skill tree is class-specific, so it would need to respec your skills, too. The player abilities are also class-specific, as are kits. At the very least, it would be a lot more work to implement since its not just cosmetic.
Faction changing wouldn't work as long as there are faction-locked ships and equipment. Unless people were to be allowed to "defect" with their arsenal intact, which would be totally awesome. But we all know the faction uniqueness fanboys would raise a riot over that.
Trait respecs are already on Tribble.
it whould be awesome to see such a token. i whould love to make my toon a borg, but i don't want to reroll and i don't like to have alts. i have a lot of good ship and gear on this toon, i have 8.5k accolade points and all inventory and bank slots bought. rerolling will mean i have to accoplish all of them again and that's out of discussion. i whould rather change the game than rerolling.
it whould be awesome to be able to change the class, but i think allmost everybody will go for tactical in this way.
+1 from me too
I consider myself to have "gotten my money's worth" from the various Alien characters I've made, even though they would have definitely been "canon" races under the new trait system.
I wouldn't object to paying SOME money to help defray the cost of the feature, but at the same time, I think it's just good business for PWE if players are playing the race they would have always preferred.
hopefully will get to play this game again one day once changes are in

Would love to change my original science alien to a Betazoid and my engineer from a lib borg to a Caitian!
It's been 3 years now can we get this please?
They rarely answer gameplay questions. Most text of the ask cryptic is usually fluff talk.
