Photonic Option, a thought

So, I really like all the Borg, Photonic, and Android options for bridge officers. The more of these I get, the more I can pretend my character is a lone space cowboy/cowgirl hopping galaxies (otherwise, spare me the poetry). It gives me an idea, how about a photonic option for your lead character?

Now, Cryptic would not even have to do too much to make this happen (just the random hologram animation) and it could easily be made so that you never have to make a new char. How you ask? Just make it a ground trait! Obviously, don't make it an invincible one and for the love of god, sell it on the C-Store and not in some box that will just TRIBBLE me off enough to give into KotFE. But yeah, that way you can be a photonic life form, get the stat for it, and get some crappy animation to boot. You can live, not breath, and probably not die on a starship filled to the brim with nothing but life forms made out of computer programs which seems even more impressive given the things they can do than the concept of positronic lifeforms like Data!

    If you're already RPing, why not just RP that you're already an android, hologram, or whatever? The tailor gives you plenty of options if you're having trouble with immersion or something.

    Voyager had a cool episode where the doctor went with an all photonic crew for a while. While it is a cool concept, players shouldnt have access to the photonic lifeform traits theyre too good

    Well, I'm sure that added to the thread other than just being a downer about an idea. Thanks. I totally couldn't have figured out how to do that without the advice and that's exactly what I was asking for.

    Obviously, don't make it an invincible - That's what I thought to include that sentence. Not asking for invincibility status, just for a novelty item essentially.

    Relax, friend.

    Okay, then why bother commenting in a post just to shoot somebody down if you don't want feedback from that? I can grasp that we all have our desires in which we'd like to see STO go, but I don't go around shooting everyone's ideas down particularly when there's already an in game precedent for species. I mean, duh, you can use alien gen. Duh. I wasn't asking for that and I'm fairly certain that you get that. It's not like there was some kind of genuine intent to inform.

    Well, I pointed at some ways you could help make your RP fantasy happen without having to rely on new stuff being implemented.

    On a side note, you're putting off some seriously negative vibes and it saddens me. It's not really my business why, but it's kind of harsh, and I hope you see through whatever is generating that negativity in your life.

    Peace.
