Have you ever deleted a character that wasn't working for you?

I deleted my Fed Science officer I created a while back and while He was at Fleet Admiral I just wasn't happy with him for some reason. I rerolled an Andorian Science Officer I'll be leveling him up from scratch. I already know what ship I plan to get when I hit Rear Admiral, he's getting a Vesta class ship and eventually an Intrepid class ship at level fifty. With that being said, I'm curious how many of you just deleted a toon and started a new one from scratch.

I had a Fed who was assimilated. He didn't die, he didn't recover, he didn't nothing. He was permanently assimilated. I even tried alting and back again, and when I ran out of my bag of tricks, I simply went back to the character list and hit delete. A well leveled, well equipped delta recruit, and all the goodies I had in his bank, all gone. Rest in peace, Admiral Black.

Is this a bug becuase it sounds like a really bad one (if this is in game assimilation you're talking about, not deciding to "Kill" off the character)

LMAO It really is true Resistance is futile!

No, But...
Every now and then I rename one and completely change them visually, as if the original character had "passed".

I can't do anything about their career or anything YET, (maybe someday), But most of my characters have a lot of time, effort, lock box ships ect invested in them, so there are some that definitely get neglected more than others, but I just can't bring myself to delete them.

My original toon, a Vulcan science officer I deleted after about a month. I had figured out I had basically done everything incorrectly and felt it better to start from scratch. It all worked out for the best since the toon that replaced him became my main after all these years and is doing quite well.

Beyond that I've created random characters either out of boredom or good intentions. Most of them never made it very far and usually got killed off before they made captain. The only one I sort of regret is the Lethian science officer I made in the summer before Delta Rising. I actually spent a fair amount of time, got him a fleet ship and everything. But I think once DR come I deleted him.

So many.. we used to level a toon up in diplo to get a gorn/orion bridge officer, also sometimes getting a saurian.
When we got to bo's we deleted the toon and did it again..

Yes, because that character was meant to be deleted.

I'd created the character to half-aft things, try out new low-level content, etc. and when the Delta Recruit thing came about I didn't really feel like buying a bunch of character slots. Instead, I killed the disposable character, created a Fed, completed the Fed-Only Episode arc for the account unlock, killed the Fed, and finally made a FedRom to run the Rom and shared Fed Episode arcs; the Klingon Episode arcs were covered by the additional character slot they gave us all to participate with as Delta Recruits. I actually liked the little difference in perspective the Delta Recruit thing gave to the various Episodes, but I really didn't want or need anything more than what I ran with... thanks to over-level progression rates, etc. and my own tendency to run multiple characters as opposed to having a true "main" character.

These days, I have 8 disposable character slots. I'd initially planned on making farming alts, but I got bored with that almost as fast as I got started. As a result only 2 proto-farmers have been created. I still haven't bothered to level them (or the other 6 empty character slots) to proper farmer status, despite knowing how useful they could be in the long run...

The 12 other characters are all level 60, although I have yet to finalize a build enough to Upgrade with most of them. The increased cost of Rep gear makes me hesitate to invest in anything I might be swapping out of later, especially with things like the recent Counter Command Exo-Armor nerf coming over a year after release, so I tend to stick with Mk XII for the most part. Weapons are an exception, of course, because killing things pretty much solves every problem in STO.

I've deleted all but one of my original six characters (back from when F2P started) for one reason or another, mainly because I didn't have a clue about building them and it would've taken more than simply "respecing" them back then. I remade one character for each faction when the Delta event was on as well, improving on their original setups to suit the main ship they used better after various changes since the originals were created.

I did use to have a few character slots I'd use just to create, level and delete when I felt like running through the storyline fresh.

My Orion. I copied her looks onto a boff in another crew, so she's not dead, just defected to a Romulan ship with that Romulan prisoner from "Alpha".

Her slot was taken by a Ferasan, whom enjoy playing immensely ​​
