I am able to create this specific look (via drastically elongating the back of the skull) in both th fed and the kdf faction.
but when i try to do it in the rom faction, it fails and retains a standard shaped spherical skull. there seems to be less customizability. this limitation is only evident in female rom faction aliens, and not the mail rom faction aliens
is this an intended feature of the rom faction? less custom looking aliens? Please let me know if it working as intended. which would be unfortunate for me
Hi. I'm not entirely sure if its a similar problem but I saw your video not so long ago and tried a female Tal Alien Fed Sci. I'm certain I followed your video exactly but she did not turn out the same at all.
Her head appeared far more pointed and almost dorsal fin like. Very hard to explain but I knew it wasn't right so I deleted her. Also the alien creator in the tailor has a completely different layout now to when you created that video. Its possible things were altered or dare I say it "messed up".
Just a thought but do you think you could upload a Tal costume file like the ones on STO Academy for their Iconic Aliens? I would like a proper Tal character at some point.
As to the Romulan Alien creator you're not the first person who has mentioned issues with it. I think its another one of those things to add to the bug list that are "working as intended".
Oh and Tal are awesome by the way. Great unique design.

Haha thanks for remembering . The way you had the more 'dorsal' look was actually the original version of tal; it's totally ok if one tal has a higher 'dorsal crest/fin' than another tal :P.
What that sounds like to me is the "skull height option" Just reduce skull height some and see if that works, if not ill look into it more. As far as the rom alien generator, i can make a rom faction male tal just fine, but wit doesnt work when i try to make a female. I'll try to upload something for sto academy by this weekend. I'll try to make a better tutorial vid with more details at some point too.
im glad you enjoy the race. I'm just starting a new fed sci tal too, maybe we can level together, you can hit me up with your handle if you want, mine is TAL@LEONHART
Based on what the devs described when LoR first came out, you cannot create an "Alien" on the Romulan side just an "Alien-gen hybrid". What that was supposed to mean was no aliens who did not have at least a small chance of looking like they had at least some ancestry with a Romulan/Reman at some time (as the Romulans are so xenophobic, they would not allow just any race to join, only one with a bit of Romulan DNA). Thus all the options were adjusted in some way to prevent the "extremes" we can make on the fed-side (Dr. Zoidbergs, Spidermen, Venoms, Candy Crush girls, etc.).
I don't know if they changed their minds to give full adjustment capability and changed something else since then, but this is probably why you are having trouble recreating a look you once had.

that would make sense for the most part, however the only issue is with female aliens. male aliens still get the full range of modification.
You are unlikely to get many devs popping into this section of the forum as it is the "peer-to-peer" support section for technical and graphics issues.
You'd be better off pm'ing a moderator and asking them to move it to gameplay bugs, whilst also sending in a bug report in game.

I fixed the problem. I think like an idiot I missed one stage from the video. My Tal looks just right now.
I modified her a bit. Slightly less neck height and a little less skull height and depth. I guess they're not all identical. Will definately send you a message in game.
