    How did you come to that conclusion? They are pointed eared telepaths.

    So are the Kzinti, doesn't mean they are related to Vulcans.

    well the first Gorn we ever saw was in a caveman tunic/loincloth combo. :rolleyes

    I would love that costume :eek:.

    Norway and Yeager dammit... I still want my Typhoon and Jupiter though.
    JJ Trek The Kelvin Timeline is just Trek and it's fully canon... get over it. But I still prefer TAR.

    The Cryptic artist (Taco maybe?) who did the textures did a great job. Gorn leg-scales look really neat too.
    Let us wear Swimsuits on Foundry maps or bridges please! I would pay zen for that.

    lol yeah, I saw a Reman vacationer in a bikini on the dance floor once.

    My reaction is summed up below.

    Likewise, if they toned down the wrinkles on the legs or eliminated them altogether (They could add slight ridges on the upper legs instead or something.)

    If you want Gorn short-shorts, then you should wear Gorn short-shorts. Rule #1 of a MMO: other people's opinions don't matter

    Just throwing in my appreciation too. This is great -- appropriately horrifying! You can tell a lot of love went into this update. :)

    Can't wait for the few little issues with the new body options to be cleared up.

    Thanks guys! We love to see your reactions to what we send out. The Remans were done by several character artists, including yours truly. More recently, I did a lot of the bare skin options for the Remans, and another talented character artist added in the Reman leg details based on what I did for the upper body and chest.

    Yes and no... the game picks and chooses what elements to use.

    How did I know that was coming.

    Look I go by this. (And the common sense that the Romulans and the Remans being closely related peoples just makes sense)
    http://memory-beta.wikia.com/wiki/Reman

    Until there's direct contradictory evidence, I'm going with this.
    I would love that costume.

    So you're saying you want that Gorn throwback gear.
    Gorn.jpg

    Put that on a modern Gorn.
    I had my Gorn in the shorts, and after someone came up to him and double face palmed, I went with the Beach Comber pants and Risaian adventure top.

    Mainly for myself, bad enough they won't give Gorn's a more then decent blue scale colour ( like yours truly, but gave up :mad: ), but a dirty barley blue option. Bad enough, but then gave him a bright white chest and belly and turned his scales from a lousy pale blue ( like I said not even a decent shade of blue ) to lousy watery pale snot green. :mad:

    These laughable colour options they have to be.............no ARE the worst I have ever seen in any game I have played, including consoles. I am serious, as a Furry artist ( also draw schematics and plans ) I am appalled at the............... * cough *.........artists here. :rolleyes:

    Seriously, a lack of imagination.

    * rides off on Rainbow Dash to the paint store for some colour charts for the............Cryptic artists. *
    A blue Gorn makes perfect sense. He came from an sea side region, his people do free dive spear fishing. A blue Gorn would be awesome.

    I haven't got a swimsuit for my female Reman ... yet. The detail work looks great!

    I do, however, have the formal dress and Risian beachcomber outfits for my female Reman. Looks like these leg details are missing, need to be added at some point.

    Sure if you want, there is no canon evidence to support my view, it's just I can't see any way in which a Vulcan can turn into a Reman, ever.

    Well it didn't happen naturally. Those Vulcans modified themselves into Remans over centuries. To say nothing about what mutations the conditions on Remus forced them into.

    Funny enough it is in their visual. They're based on a Nosferatu which is just a horribly warped nightmare human. Thank you Orlock.

    And it's true, Dragon people can wear anything. :cool:

    Heck yeah! We have Starfleet, Romulan, and (some of) Klingon TOS Uniforms, I would love for this Gorn uniform to be available in-game. I'd buy it from the C-Store instantly!

    They have Startfleet and Romulan TOS Costume packs in the C-Store, they need to make a proper Klingon TOS pack, and complete the uniform for the Klingons (including proper pants, boots, skirt, make-up, earrings, etc.).

    Sadly, with so few KDF players, the chance of ever getting either of these packs in the C-Store are slim.

    :(


    ===

    Back on-topic - I hadn't seen the Reman body yet. That is pretty impressive! I look forward to seeing that when my Reman saves up the Favors.

    It's too bad to hear they still haven't completed the Borg Infected body texture, yet. However, it's been said that they're still working on body textures, so hopefully, it's on the short list.

    :)

    After seeing the female Reman in a bikini, I hope that same sort of detail can be brought to the female alien species as well. We finally have 1 choice of a body skin (shows 2 but they both look the same) for the bikini but the rest us just the old default skin that does not match anything so it looks like we need legs, hand and feet now. Plus these skin choices should be for all outfits, not just limited to the bikinis.

    I also appreciate it, though it does make a few of my fleetmates gag. Not sure why. The details are great though, would be nice if those options carried over to other races/aliens. . .
    I know there is a method but all I see is madness.

    Spots, wrinkles, visible veins, and saggy knees. The back has some gnarly-looking details too.

    A lot of detail for something so small. Thanks, Cryptic.

    My Reman wasn't going to participate in the summer event (I mean, you would think they would burst into flames in the sun) but I might have to spare a few lolwut favors to get her a string bikini now.

    Heck yeah, specifically I want to see the scaled one go all over the body...it's not like my Alien can wear a swimsuit, but I'm sure the asset can be reused for things like cropped jackets and skirts and the Mirror uniforms. See those scales go down her body in an elegant manner...do want.

    Twice now, I have seen a Female Reman NPC in a pink bikini on the Dance Floor. I think it is random, but her and a female saurian seem to be pre-made vacationer NPCs who show up on the dance floor. I have taken to calling out the instance whenever I see the Reman.

    These shots almost make me want to spend 500 favors to buy a useless Risa-use only swimsuit for my Reman female.

    Next year at Risa... Miss Reman Beauty Contest! :eek:

    Take A HIKE Phaser Guy, T'busti and T'TRIBBLE we have a new lady to be the cover model for the STO website! :P

    Apparently swimwear does not work with liberated borg romulan males. Well, that was a nice waste of 500 favor.

    But obviously the remans were clearly more important than us freeloading LTS members who had liberated borg romulans when it came to the character art schedule.

    I'd file a bug report but I figure if I'm going to waste my time complaining into deaf ears, it might as well be on the STO forum where everybody else can read what I have to say and subsequently ignore it, instead of just the people in QA.
