Creating a Mermaid?

ktip09

With ALL of these incredible additions to an already AMAZING foundry editing system, would it EVER be possible to create a Mermaid-like creature Like in the SIMS? (I.e...Human-like female or male W Fish-tail) It would be great for my idea of making a new Race!

fishtail animations don't seem to exist in STO. the best you could do is to fake it by making it so people can't see her feet.

Star Trek in general doesn't have a mermaid species. I think the closet it gets is the Xindi Aquatic. For the Foundry I think the closest you'll get is a person who looks like he has a fish head.

The fact that a "mermaid Species doesn't exist is what makes Star trek so INCREDIBLE!!!..."To seek out new life and new Civilizations" If The making of such a creature can be done in the sims, then maybe the time has come to make the foundry:) editor capable of doing the same. It CAN BE DONE, but it is up to Cryptic and the powers that be to MAKE IT HAPPEN! Let us ALL let them know that we want to create NEW and EXOTIC Alien Races so that STO will become a game of INFINITE possibilities! PEOPLE STAND WITH ME ON THIS! or else this game will be limited to ONLY the Races of the Television series and People will eventually become bored with the game! In the meantime...I'll have to use what I can from an already incredible Foundry.

I can tell you that creating a mermaid-type character would be a time-consuming process. They would need to create an entirely new rig. This is the same reason non-bipedal characters are so rare in MMOs. They're not going to add this to the game unless they have a really good reason. And it's never going to show up in the Foundry unless, they've first found a reason to add it to the main story.
