I think I have pushed this issue for more than half the time this game existed.
I will restate this in it's simplest form.

If a player BUYS a premium race, unique parts of that figure should be added to the
alien captain creator.

such as and not a complete list

albino skin
different head shapes - like talaxian or caitian and so on (forgive poor spelling)
claws
tails
specialty ears
hair color and styles
skin textures
skin patterns
etc.

give us MORE customization, not less.

as for the usual complaint that various ears, hair nose etc. will not fit..
just add a scale slider to the various facial parts...ears, nose, hair.
The player can adjust it to taste.

Make it so.

    Doing that makes the unique races, especially Caitian/Ferasan, far less unique. So no. If you want a tail and fur, play as a cat person.

    If you can't solve it logically, solve it like a moron.

    51 + 1 Foundry Character Slots is NOT enough. Some of us love our characters. If I want to buy more character slots, why can't I? I couldn't experience the entire Delta Recruitment event without deleting a character.

    The Iconians themselves can't time travel because their memories revert, but there is nothing to say an Iconian couldn't write everything she needed to do on a PADD, pin it to herself, travel back, read the PADD, do the tasks and return. Or just get one of her Non-Herald underlings to go back in time for her.

    Want a Star Trek themed starship command fan-made Board Game that isn't fiendishly complicated but not so easy it's a joke? Download mine for free here. https://roebot56.deviantart.com/art/BOARD-GAME-R56-s-Starship-Command-STAR-TREK-Edn-682732468 A Stargate version of the game is available from a link in the description.

    Oh yeah, I do Foundry missions for both KDFs and Feds. Just search KSTF (Short for Kinas Special Task Force, where Kinas is the name of the Admiral you will be serving under). The earlier ones are less story based and more combat based, while the later ones have a much heavier story element, but keep the large battles.

    So what you're saying is you want more than what you paid for. Because what you're describing was NEVER part of the bargain.

    Just a suggestion, but next time you try to shame someone into doing what you want, into doing work for no recompense but your precious approval, don't be talking out your TRIBBLE.

    o the op's point, the scaling options on the caitians are laughable. there should be a ton more customization for them

    Nope, you paid for the kitty unlock, you did not pay for kitty aliens. Your thread title is a bug, please fix it to set a good example for Cryptic :)

    That said, even though you are wrong I do agree that more customization is a good thing. If you buy a lifetime sub it would be nice if you could make your boffs look like liberated Borg. If you play as a space hobbit, Cryptic could let you create a matching crew of tricksy hobbitses. Buy the cat, get a litter of kittens.

    That is a feature request, not what you paid for.

    Nothing wrong with wanting a tail on your alien. Nothing wrong with asking for a quality of life improvement that extends the utility of existing assets. What's wrong with this thread is the half-baked emotional blackmail being attempted.

    The weird part is that there are non-Caitian tails on some NPCs, but those aren't available for aliens.

    Actually, it has been my experience that they hardly ever give you what you pay for. Only as much as they want to give you.
  • davefenestratordavefenestrator Member Posts: 10,689 Arc User
    ... but if you try sometimes, you just might find, well you get what you need.

    I did say, premium races you PAID for.
    I swear,
    same folks who complain that people who PAID for a premium race should not be
    able to use the unique parts in the alien creator are the first folks crying
    when the contest ship is not the best in series.

    whaaa whaaa whaaa we want the BETTER one and we want it for FREE !
    The free one sucks...

    what ever

    'Cause, really, after your first BS argument gets debunked, a scraggly straw man is obviously the next play no one will notice is transparent, inept, and flat-out WRONG.

    Keep 'em coming. This is comedy gold.

    For folks that are curious what a straw man argument is :smile:

    A straw man is a common form of argument and is an informal fallacy based on giving the impression of refuting an opponent's argument, while actually refuting an argument that was not advanced by that opponent.[1]

    I was not attacking a >false opinion or argument< you were holding on the subject.
    The subject is purely a matter of taste and has no effect on game play so any opinion is a good as the next.

    I was describing a certain group of players that attack every idea that is of no benefit to themselves.
    They have no interest in flexible character customization, fine but they attack it purely because in their own mind it is a waste of time and developers should only be attending subjects that interest them.

    If you don't like my opinion on the subject, fine.
    But don't tell me I am wrong, I am entitled to my opinion.

    Exactly. The FACT is you pay for a captain's race unlock and you get the ability to choose that race. Getting exactly what you paid for.

    So the: "Getting what you paid for" title DOES NOT match "should be added to the alien captain creator."

    That is a request for a new, extra, bonus un-paid for feature.

    I'd support the devs choosing to add that extra, bonus, new feature. It would be a nice extra bonus to add to getting what you paid for. More customization options is a good thing. Getting more than you paid for is even gooder! ;)
